Rang Zinda Hain

Chahe Ya Na Chahe

The collaboration between B.L.O.T and Hand Shadowgrapher Amar Sen - "Aaina" uses the darkness in Amar Sen's work with shadows and B.L.O.T.'s light projections to tell the story visually while Suryakant Sawhney from Peter Car Recording Co. provided vocals to compliment the visuals. The music video tells the story through the eyes of a young girl evolving alongside the city.

She goes through two parallel experiences, a slow walk through the city where she encounters moments that typify life in Mumbai, while on the other hand she searches for a sense of belonging. The 'Aaina' (mirror) plays an important role in describing her state of mind during her evolution and search for meaning.

I've been writing, performing, recording and archiving hundreds of songs in the past few years. This year is dedicated to putting those songs out into the Universe.

If a tree falls in the forest and there's  no one around to hear it, does it make a soundcloud.com account?

One of my many releases this year will be a duets album with the amazing Shefali Alvares, Anushka Manchanda, Manasi Scott, Aditi Singh Sharma and YOU.

Well, YOU, if you're a female singer who wants to sing this song. It doesn't matter if you're a professional or if you've ever sung before in your life.  All YOU have to do is make a recording of YOU singing the song and upload it somewhere, anywhere that I and other people can hear it. Youtube, soundcloud, reverbnation, masaladosa, whatever works for you.

This might be a long shot, but what the hell, I have nothing to lose. YOU have nothing to lose.

Download the song, sing on top of it, upload. Recording quality is immaterial as long as the singing is clear.

My favourite makes it to the album.

Also, I'm impatient, so 20th jan is the deadline.

Ooh, dead line.

Beeep. Beeep. Beeep. Beeep.

Swarathma + Shubha Mudgal - Duur Kinara

This is a song that celebrates youth, and the power of being young, in your heart and mind. The words "Naane Daari" are Kannada for "I am my way".

Translation:

In the dark cave that is my being, I find the light
And I shall scream of it, aloud, from the mountaintops

This earth, this sky, become one in my fist
My passion erupts from the ground below
