Gaata Rahe Mera Dil

For as long as I can remember, I have had an inclination to Hindi film music. I'm fine with the hundreds of other forms and genres of music, their exponents and their followers, but the best food for my ears has always been Hindi filmy music.

The variety, quality and talent in Hindi movie music is astounding. While musicals have long vanished from Hollywood and all other prominent movie industries, the Hindi movie industry still thrives on heroes and heroines who sing and dance on mountaintops and riversides at the drop of the hat....songs are a vital ingredient in our movies even now and there are no signs that this recipe might change.

I inadvertently mumble songs to myself all the time, and sometimes they haunt me so much that I have to get them out of my head...which is where my micro-projects come in. 

I have a hobby of creating tracks, mixing songs and gelling them with vocals. For the most part I do not get any volunteers to do the vocals for my projects, so I end up embarrassing myself in front of my not very expensive microphone. 

Music has been a life long hobby and reproducing it seems to be a natural next step, which may be why this blog is here. 

I am always looking for singers and volunteers to work with me on micro-projects like these. Shoot a sur or a taan at me if you guys are interested :)
