Today we took a break from our track. Gives you perspective too. And R K Padmanabh was in to record some of his many compositions. The novel thing was that he had Ravindra Katoti on the harmonium and Vishwanath Nakod on the tabla instead of his usual Karnatak accompanists. His ragas and their interpretations also inclined a bit towards Hindustani.
Hadn't met Nakod in ages and we caught up for about a minute in the break.
While the recording went on smoothly, I sat listening and doing my homework as it were. Concepts for a radio spot. Like old times when one studied with the radio on! Gokul has an idea a second when it comes to concepts and can tire you if you are trying to work it out into a readable form. Fortunately he was busy and could only come up with an idea in between takes!
We are kind of fixed up with the guests for tomorrow. Aru in the morning sometime and the folk artist with the percussion ensemble. Will probably wait till day after for the rest and get the mix happening.
Catch up with you tomorrow then!
