Vidyasagar, a famous Tamil film music director, contacted me recently. He wanted a Malayalam song done in traditional Celtic style!
This is how it worked: he sent me the vocal line and I created the score.
I invited musicians* from all over the world to play their parts and they contributed to the final product on-line. It just took 10 days to make it!
It will be the title song for a film called Neela Thamara (Blue Lotus), to be released this summer.
I am now going on a well-deserved holiday!
*Anahata (UK): concertina
Prabodh (UK): bass
Sangit Om (Greece): penny whistle
Gal Shahar (Israel): violin
Update 17.11.09: The CD of the film music has been released. Here is the cover:
Punya showed me your blog entry: I am impressed with what you did!
Love from Amiten
Hi Very intrested to hear you are doing a work in Malayalam…Great…
I didn’t know that you did the score for the title song. I heard it a lot.. infact when I heard it for the first time, I heard it again and again for the next 4-5 days… Terrific score.. and I was surprised to hear a Malayalam Song with a Celtic tune. Now I know the genius behind it
I have all your collections.. Looking forward to hear a lot from you… You, Karunesh and Prem Joshua are my all time favourite. One day I will meet you all in person!
Cool cover, much better than the usual.
