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!

Bisi bele bhath

Here's wishing all of you a wonderful, meaningful New Year! We actually had a couple of relaxed days since most people were getting over partying! But the newspapers were full of horrendous reports of revelry turning into an excuse to unleash all the savage, inhuman elements in one. I wonder since when regressive behaviour was extolled. But then that would lead us into a whole new discussion of globalisation, consumerism etc. Hope we learn something from each incident and grow up.

Well, The Music Mint is still working hard. The UPS batteries were all replaced, so that turned into a nice hole in the account! Considering all the load shedding that's bein forecast even before summer sets in, we needed to sort the UPS out anyway.

Starting today we have another tight scedule again.
Narasimhalu Wadawati is doing a recording of some old, forgotten songs for Lahari. Manohar sir is working tomorrow onwards. I'm sure in the middle of this all we will need to use the second studio set up to work on some spots.
Sankranti's coming up, we made a couple of very cool sounding jingles for radio. Joe came in with his guitar and surprise, surprise, sang Kannada. It sounds very good. Ram recorded another Bagesri song with him and that's really lovely. I suggested we turn the song into a special for Valentine's. So that's another project, but which looks almost ready already!

That's the hot mix for this month. Will try to post soon. See you!
