This time around, for the 35-second TV promo, which will give an insight to this song, Raghav matched his outfits with each of the instruments. In the past, he did an interesting experiment with the vocals of a song, changing pitch and tone to fill in both the male and female vocals. Raghav has been known to spice up his tracks. So I thought about it, and finally decided to make it a reality,” he says. The aarti is ingrained in us and we have been listening to it since we were kids. “It was a natural thing for me to use western wind instruments since that’s what I love playing.
The instruments include the western jazz instrument tenor saxophone, harmonica, soprano saxophone (of Kenny G fame), western jazz and classical instruments, the clarinet and the flute. He has used western wind instruments instead - his forte. The interesting thing about this recording is that he hasn’t played the aarti with Indian classical instruments. Each line of the chorus, in fact, uses one instrument and ends the song with his vocals.
RAGHAV SACHAR SAXOPHONE NEW FULL
He recently recorded the popular aarti Om Jai Jagdish Hare using nine different instruments for a full song. This time he decided to use his versatility and compose a devotional song. Overall a great experience,” Sachar says in a statement.Raghav Sachar is known for being able to play over 30 instruments. So now when I am hearing the song it sounds good, sounds like exactly what I imagined. “Since I have been in the industry for a while and I know how songs function, it was easy for me to imagine how it was going to turn out. Sachar calls it an “intense” track which was very different but fun to add towards.
RAGHAV SACHAR SAXOPHONE NEW FREE
For want of creating a more accessible message, Sastry sings about how colonial-era laws are still upheld in India, which “stifle our freedom to love in a supposedly free country.” The composer got Sachar on board spontaneously, when their conversations about making a career in music led to songs being shared amongst them. Not only is “My Friends Are Virgins” a much darker song compared to “Made Up,” it’s also released in Hindi and English. It allows me to keep learning and growing, while giving me the opportunity to explore various sonic terrains – which I really value.” He says about his fellow musicians, “There is a powerful intimacy working with artists who believe in your music. This collective created their experimental previous single “ Made Up,” featuring seemingly Carnatic fretplay and soothing vocal harmonies. By early this year, Pune-based Sastry included New Delhi vocalist Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, bassist Vinay Ravindra Rao (from blues act Triple Shuffle), multi-instrumentalist Jay Kshirsagar and percussionist-producer Yuvaan Makar to create an extended lineup for Kalika.
While Sastry released a previous version of the song on his 2018 debut record Enter Kalki (featuring Maastricht-based trombone player Angus Foster, who returns for the new iteration), he also released another collection of songs in 2019 called Data Religion.
With the latest track “My Friends Are Virgins,” Sastry met with seasoned composer and saxophonist Raghav Sachar, who ended up collaborating on the song that is an eerie, ironic lament on sexual repression in India. Formed in 2018 in Maastricht while composer Prannay Sastry was a student, Kalika has slowly added more remembers and collaborators with each project.
