The Music Mint

A day in the life of The Music Mint, our studio. The studio has its share of friends, well-wishers, people who love recording here and of course plenty who've never heard of it. This is to share a mint a day!

Fretting over the absence of fretmaster Caleb

We must have made dozens of calls to Caleb, but he must be touring with SPB in some exotic country! We are looking at a very rushed time ahead this coming week. We need to turn out something really nice for a big occasion and all our contacts who can ever make this happen are either vacationing (The long weekend for Vijaydasami and the Karnataka bandh helping out) or touring or something. Gokul is on the verge of giving up on this track happening. But Ram and I are pretty confident things will happen right. We got the tune happening with Tejas helping us with the composing. Right now he's ill, so Bagesri will be there now at 11 am to work on the lyrics. The chorus is ready, so we need to get her to write with that feel in mind.
Deepak comes in the evening to check out for the choir. Once Bagesri's ready with the words, we can wrap it up quickly. The video of course is being ambitious, but well, if you don't expect too much and dream, it's really alright.
Meanwhile our signature tune was a big hit with the client. And even while they were thrilled with tune, and lyrics, they were delighted about the speed at which the whole thing was completed for them. Chaitanya's to shoot a video for them. Meeting again on Monday.
The Tamil singing band is back and wants to work at the studio. So too the shloka recording, so the studio's busy too. The hotel ad would have started playing since yesterday.
