DOCUMENTATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BOLLYWOOD SONG 

SECOND POST 

after a tough time i have mananged some real good sound bites from the industry people . i attended a music sitting of Tango Charlie(An upcoming film) where bollywoods ace arranger Ranjit Barot spoke to me about his work and  musical philosophy. he believes that analog will will never fade out. he has given world class stuff like Fiza and Aks 
on analog mixers.he also spoke about the fear sentiment in the industry. in short, "fear" travels down from producers to the lower rungs of the music industry. musicians,singers ,lyricists nobody wants to take a risk. 

conversations with young upcoming singers 
kirti Sargathia - an aspiring singer who wants to excel in range singing. now what is range singing?
it is a high scale singing like sukhwinder and kailash kher. though he fears he has already been branded by music directors as "sukhwinder type"

then i have interviewd a lot of lyricists. some of them are out of industry because they are sahitythik(literary). pandit kiran mishra is one of them. though he has created a big market in devotional lyrics. 

Tipu,an assistant music director to Pritam( the current heaertthrob after his mega hit Dhoom)
Pritam is a sound pass out from FTII. so it is really easy and smooth to work with him as Tipu too belongs to FTII lobby.(in bombay FTII is a very strong group)
tipu is a very talented musician and percussionist. lately he has been "allowed"  by Pritam  to take and execute his own projects.
tipu gives intersting insights on casting couch in the music industry. "bahut si singers to apne ko prepare karke aati hai"
then he also told that there are dummy singers and dummy lyricists for every song. however it is not a rule. 
main lyricists and singers come into picture when a new singer has sung the song. he listens to the track and gives his her "silver" touch to the song. 
 

i am interviewing certain big-wigs next week . 
till then push the tempo
