I hate to say this, but it surely seems like a whiff of writing, or a spree, so as to say, which just lasted for about 3 years or so. I've never not written for this long. Maybe twitter is aiding me to not to. That's what they refer to as microblogging, I guess. But that's what is a perfect excuse. :)
Anyways, hello to the blog world. Things haven't changed as yet, if anything, without seeing the light of the day, many things are simply piling up. Not to mention the amount of stuff that I want to do also keeps increasing by the day. Hell, we live just once, why not do what all you can in this life? What if i'm a mule in the next birth? :D
This happens to me every time. Whenever there is a new album I download, I'm so hooked on listening to the technicalities that my brain refuses to take in anything else (or give out for that matter). After a really long time, I have a new hindi album downloaded. Yes, I shamelessly admit that I download stuff illegally, but also admit that if I like the stuff, I pay and get an audio CD. But a recent revelation that the audio CD quality is in fact, better than what I'd thought it would be should make me reconsider that. I am getting extremely critical of the kind of music coming out these days though. Also, my music system has not been serviced. And honestly, the only time I get to listen to music is in the bus, on my headphones. I think i'll have an eargasm if I listen to an audio CD on my music system anytime now.
Coming to that topic, I really hope I make sure that its ready at least by the time our mastered copy is out. I'm also happy that the album is shaping up well. But it feels so inconsequential when I actually make a statement saying that the album has been in the making for about an year and a half now. It could be lauded or trashed in a few days after release, but hey, I'm happy we tried. I read somewhere that the route is more important than the destination. Maybe its a Rahman-quote. That reminds me, all musicians I adore/admire/idolize is more than for just their music. Its probably the process by which they have made songs, made music so far in life. That is what is inspiring. Inspiring not only while on stage or while composing or arranging. Inspiring in every walk of life. Such is their impact.
With this random rant, I think I've satiated myself for having written in this blog after 4 months. Hope will have or will make up something concrete for the next blog.
Au revoir!
