Today we were trying to get the sound bytes ready. We'd been speaking to Prof Ananthamurthy who's just back from Frankfurt. He was busy and we were wondering how to get the recording done. But we managed today. He was in great form and the minute I sketched out what we were attempting he asked me most disarmingly if he could talk about what was uppermost on his mind. It was profound and brilliant. And fits in so wonderfully with the song's lyrics and mood. He was so forthcoming, welcoming and warm while he waved his magic wand of incisive thought over the song.
While we were trying to edit that Chidu walked in. He says the track is vibrant and sat discussing options for video.
Bhaskar sir, I wonder when we will get to work with you on the video?
Aru has not been reachable since she came in day before yesterday. She listened to the rough version of the track and was helping with her concise critique of it. I loved the way she said she's forgetting so many things. Things which are unpleasant and also things which are too important!
Gokul has got a mix ready. We are running out of time.
By Monday, it's out! That's what we've promised ourselves.
Another radio spot to be scripted by tomorrow and a team song in a couple. Sujit and Siddarth record tomorrow.
