This film was made entirely budget-free. Everyone involved in both the concert and the film project gave their time and skills without payment. It is also available for free. It is an expression of love and gratitude for our planet, the natural world and it’s denizens, both human and animal.
I never expected to see myself as a film director. I never planned to make a film. But then in the three and a half years since the ‘Concert For India’s Environment’ in 2004, a kind of organic growth took over and this simple musician has also had to become concert organizer, film cameraman, interviewer, score composer, film editor and graphics and web designer too!
Introducing the Music Production `Mitram` with Friend Divakar
Divakar has become a friend at myspace. and at the moment he resides in Switzerland.
I listened to his music and was deeply touched by his honest and true devotional singing voice.
At his myspace site is a song on the MP3 player called `Mitram` just with voice and guitar at a crappy status with a lot of noise and rumble on it.
I mailed him and suggested to produce the song in a better quality and with addons of instruments and arrangement. He agreed and so he sent me the accidental recorded vocal parts.
With a little technical voodoo the voice could have been cleaned up to maybe 55%. So the spectrum of his voice is fairly narrowed but I think one can get an idea and I hope we soon can replace the vocals with better version.
`Mitram` is a gentle and lovely song
and I have no idea of the content, what Divakar is singing about. Sounds like Indian language ...
But this endowed me the potentiality to feel the song and to construe on rythm, instruments and harmonies.
An excerpt of the produced song can be prelistened at omkarmusic.com right on the associated article via embedded MP3 player.
Divakar`s site at myspace can be found here and when the song is ready to be released it will be published there.
