'The easiest recording experiences have been with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle...'
'They ensure that the atmosphere in the studio is light, not just for me, but even my team of musicians, who may want to make a correction or express a critical point of view and are free to do so...'
'And they obey as a new singer would.'
Composer Shamir Tandon charts out the milestones in his Bollywood journey.
The backdrop of Sudhir Mishra's recently released Inkaar isn't its only corporate connection.
Shamir Tandon, who composed the song Lavj in Inkaar, is a former CEO of Virgin Music India.
Tandon has composed the music for four Madhur Bhandarkar films -- Page 3, Traffic Signal, Corporate and Jail -- and also collaborated with legends Manna Dey, Asha Bhosle and Jagjit Singh.
In this interview with Rediff.com's A Ganesh Nadar, he travels down his musical journey in Bollywood.
What do you make of this trend of having several music directors working on one film?
I am personally very uncomfortable with this format, given that all my earlier films were as an independent composer.
It's important to have one music director throughout, who understands the fabric of the film and delivers the requirement of the producer/director.
This probably happens because some songs are generic. Love songs and item numbers are independent of the film and can fit in any scenario.
Given a choice, I would personally stick to doing only solo films, but we have to acclimatise ourselves to changing times.
