Think music launches first non-film music album

By Indian Express 02 May 2009 12:03:00 AM It was a dream come true for Ramkumar RN as he launched his fusion album ‘Fusion Captivated’ on Thursday at Sathyam Cinemas. Speaking at the launch, Ramkumar who was a disciple of Vikku Vinayakram learning mridangam from the Ghatam maestro, shared his experience on how the idea of making an album came to him. "Once while I was enjoying a sunrise at the Elliots beach, a song in Boopal raga came to my mind. That has now translated to an album of songs," recalls Ramkumar whose album has a fusion of classical music and Jazz. The guests present on the occasion shared their experiences with Ramkumar. Sarath, who handled the packaging of the album, said, "We met just once. He liked the first design I made for him and we made no changes after that." Think Music, the audio division of Sathyam Cinemas has marketed and produced the album. "This is our first non-film audio. I hope it’ll be a hit," said Pradeep of Think Music. Yugi Sethu, TV anchor and cine artiste recalled how George Harrison started the trend of fusion music. In India the Shakti group started by Ustad Allah Rakka and his son Zakir Hussein popularised fusion music. "The film industry is now using fusion music a great deal," said Yugi. Music director Bharadwaj, who released the album explained how difficult it is to compose music. "He has correctly combined traditional South Indian music with modern music and that’s how music has to be created. I am sure people will accept it," he said, adding that music composing has become complex now, as there are various combinations of instruments as opposed to the basic ones decades back. Singer Meera Krishna with her husband Krishna from Sruthilaya and BV Ramanan were also present on the occasion. Ramkumar RN’s Fusion Captivated is available at music stores at Rs 99.
