The Brief is 101India's celebration of India's creative community
The format is pretty simple
Provide a brief to a creative group or individual
Then sit back and watch as they express themselves
Home
Home
Home
Away from home
Away from home
From a land where no one calls it home
But home to me
From the distance I feel
The ground beneath me
A home away from home
Where the rain shines on an open leaf
From dusk to dawn with no one in sight is where I'll be
Home away from home
Home away from home
Home away from home
From the distance I feel the ground beneath me
Home away from home
Where the rain shines on an open leaf
Home away from home
From dusk to dawn is where I'll be
Home away from home
So what was your thought process behind this track?
The brief was basically trying to bring a visual appeal to rain
We had chosen to use a Theyyam dancer
And the Theyyam dance form
To kind of symbolise that
Just to be able to match those visuals and just how
Grand those visuals are
We kind of had to match that with our music as well
The one instrument that really stood out for me
Was the Santoor
The Santoor has a really nice
Tonal quality to it
And when you delay it a little bit
It sounds like rain is falling
We also wanted to keep it a little contemporary
I used a lot of synth in it
We used a bass synth that we created
We got a little bit of Indian
And also got a contemporary sound to the track
Just to show the weight of the dancer
I mixed these really heavy
Cinematic percussive drums
I used timpanis that I merged with
Ghatam and tabla in places
I came in much later in the process
A lot had already been done
When I finally saw the video and the music
And everything come together
It felt like all these great people
From completely different fields of work
Have come together to create this
Really amazing project
Since we've worked together
I have a good idea of the tone of your voice
It's got this really haunting tone to it
But it has an uplifting side to it as well
This song was basically inspired by
You know, this introspective sentimentality
This home away from home you can always go to
The monsoon brings destruction, but it also brings life
I feel that's what the track showed me as well
The verses in the beginning
They're quite dark and sombre
But as you get to the chorus
It suddenly becomes this uplifting song
That's what I loved about it
I wanted it to be cinematic
Personally, that's the kind of music I like to create
We had the visuals, we had the music
We had a lot of sound design
But I wanted to take it to the next level
The only guy I know in the industry
Who could totally kill on a track like this
Was Mr. Shantanu Hudlikar
If the music is interesting to me
Something I would be excited to work on
Yeah, I'll do it
Firstly, the studio is very intimidating
For the first few minutes, I didn't really know
If I was even supposed to talk to him
I just stood back and watched
But once we got about ten minutes into it
We felt like we were all somehow connected
I felt that someone my age
And someone of his caliber
Were actually working on something together
I think that eased me into it after ten minutes
To be very honest
I'd rather work with young kids
Than with the established artists
Because that's where the freshness is
I had just a rough mix
Of how I wanted the track to sound
I had to say no more
He just completely got it
What does the track do to you?
What does that piece of music do to you?
I need to try and excel every time
That I am behind this particular console
Because I'm playing with other people's creativity
I dare not do anything to screw things up
I think it all just came together
Everyone just had a great time, had a ball
With what they loved doing
You know, I see the video
And the amount of work that went into it
I think I'm quite happy
