Thanks for reading & appreciating the last post, continuing the same would like to share what actually helped me to know myself even better.
I have witnessed the era, when there was NO YOUTUBE NO FACEBOOK, NO TWITTER and For Music, you have to visit a Music Shop, checkout your kind of music cassette even without listening to it.So just Out of Curiosity, I bought a cassette-Dessert Rain by a Band Called Indian Ocean. The Sound was exactly what I ever thought of as a Fusion Band. As I was interested in Fusion Music, I knew only fusion Artists like Taufiq Qureshi, Ranjit Barot, Sridhar Parthasarthy, Niladri Kumar, Louis Banks to name a few but Not Bands as such. 1997 was the year when Indian Ocean album Released but it was Re-Released in 2002 that is Exactly after 2 years after Rhydhun and my Intro to Fusion Music.
I Really Don’t remember what made me buy this cassette but I bought it from my pocket money. I was amazed because it was a Live Recording of their Performance at Delhi concert named SAHMAT. After listening to this album I actually wanted to play these songs on stage but Never got a chance because none of the Musician I Knew was aware of this kind of Music. But this Album Made a huge impact on me as a Musician.
My taste for Music started Developing. I was eager to listen to more of Indie Music. I came across another Album. The Artist - Raghav Sachar and his First Album “Raghav, For the First Time”.
The sound of this Album was a Mix of Blues and Jazz with a Pinch of Bollywood. I was Awestruck with his Talent. He is a Multi-Instrumentalist. Still, it was on Cassette and I would listen to it almost Daily.
So after that all I bought was Kandisa And Jhini by Indian Ocean. I was feeding my Soul with this Music. There was no Exposure to Western Music like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles. All these names where new for me because when I was learning because people around me were not aware about these names & Musicians I Knew came from Hindi Film Music Background.
In 2009, CD player was trend. My Dad gave me a VIDEO CD and on that CD COKE STUDIO was written with red marker . One of his Student gave him that CD to check the content as a Music Lover. It was Downloaded from YouTube. The first song I saw was Aaj Lattha Naio by Javed Bashir with the Unique BTS video about the making of the Song.
This Again Blew my Mind Completely. THIS IS IT. This is what my Kind of Music. I started Going to Cyber Cafes Spent Hell lot of money paying Rs.25 Per hour watching COKE STUDIO Songs over n over.
This gave me an Idea of What is meant by MUSIC PRODUCER.
Rohail Hyatt is the Man.
Coke Studio is his Brainchild. And now I have a New Inspiration. Till Date I am a Huge Fan and I Wish to Borrow his Brain for a week if Possible. Jokes Apart, This is what I think of Music. This is what I am Influenced by These sort of Artists.
All the readers are requested to Check these Artists on Youtube, iTunes and other Social Media.
