The Trivedi Trail

Signature music trail can be considered monotonous, and if good, a melodious journey from one album to another. More obvious when it comes to an Artist, this in a Bollywood sense mostly means composer's out of creativity. However, when it came to Amit Trivedi, i drifted from one album to another, unaware initially, seeking the other good song that sounded similar, and realizing how each were a Trivedi composition.

Musical trail is an experience almost meditative. There are few things as simple, yet capable of giving you the sense of calling, as does the feeling of that next song you want to listen to when you hear one.

By the time i reached the second song of Lootera - Zinda, i was reminded of my last love for a similar song, the ones from Udaan. It only struck me few seconds later that they were both composed by Amit Trivedi. Once into the second song of Udaan, the title track, i knew i wanted to listen to that song from DevD....Aankh Micholi.

I was on a Trivedi trail..

P.S - If DevD music were an audio cassette, i would have heard till reel were scratched to half of its original quality. My pleasant surprise, however, was discovering second half of Saali Khushi, almost 4 years later....that brass band-orchestra-jazz sounding piece. Hope you have experienced it too.
