I'm fresh out of a session with Nagabharana. Towards the end of the session his wife, Nagini dropped in too. Warm and charming both. Nagabharana is extremely patient and gives everybody a lot of space to work. Amazing to work with someone like him.
Ganesh came in to help with the rhythm section which comprised one member- Shekhar who plays all sorts of Indian percussion instruments! We have three different options for a title track. Tomorrow we start again at 9 am. The charanas, the interludes, instruments and Nandakumar's voice will have to be done over the next two days. Ram is still at the studio getting Supriya to sing some of the lines. He got back from his trip to Thailand at 3 am today. Long day!
Neha is visiting from Fremont. She has the loveliest voice I've heard in a long time. We have some tracks ready for her to sing on. I worked on the English lyrics and sent the tracks to Bageshree who has to send me Kannada lyrics. Excited about that.
Meera should be getting in touch soon about the background score on her film on Ashraya, a shelter for children.
Pinty too is expected to let us know about working on her theatre production of the Pied Piper. Varied stuff. Folk, musical, short film, songs to fit into an album...
Tata Consulting Services wanted to record a couple of songs. The promos Gokul worked on won Radio Mirchi 3 awards!
We finally registered Amplitube, Izotope etc that came with the Music Production Toolkit.
