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!

Deadly December

That's what the month looks like! We are booked heavily and we might end up having to book another studio to complete our own projects! Ram's got his station ids, theatre and a film script for which he's composing tunes, at the same time, we are all working on some radio jingles, turned out 4 today, while Keshav worked with Manohar sir. Deepu is down with fever but we've been talking to him about the live concert booking we have for the 22nd night. Shujaat Khan on the sitar.
We turned out a very neat jingle for a jeweller who was pleased. And also met up with a silk sari designer who gave us the low down on the whole business.
While Chennai will be afloat with Karnatak music this month for the season, I tuned in to FM 100.1. Think it is called Amritavarshini, the channel. They were featuring the Hyderabad brothers and their Bhairavi was very very good. Enjoyed it immensely.
The MG song was released on Saturday, the 9th. I decided to make it for the inaugural at the last minute and had a long and nightmarish ride on Hosur Road. The authorities are building the second level, so, the road is full of blocks, slow moving tractors, earth diggers and the like! Frayed my nerves. Meanwhile, the song's now the MG caller back tune!
So, if the blog is slow moving, it's because we have been on the fast track with projects!
But, hope to catch you soon, with more updates for the New Year special and all that jazz!
