I have been busy doing a lot of independent music and touring for concerts. There have been instances where my own voice has been rejected.Īre all these the reason why you have stayed away from Bollywood? It often happens that music labels want to change the singers. Every time I compose, I record with the artiste who I know will make the song better. In this process, the job of the music director becomes difficult. Like I said, a lot of people are involved and everyone has their favourites. This is another big issue and I don���t think it will be addressed anytime soon.
What���s your take on several singers recording for one track before finally choosing one of them? People need to follow a protocol and I hope it happens soon as in the end, it is the song that is getting destroyed. I feel the decision should only lie with the director of the film. Why do you say that Bollywood lacks discipline?īecause anybody can come and decide to add or scrap a song at any given stage. If there are 10 people directing a music director, what is a music director doing? Do we see 10 directors directing one film? Today, making a song is just 20 per cent of the battle the rest is about impressing everyone. I don���t see any method to this madness and in the end, I feel Bollywood lacks discipline. Producers, music labels and even actors want to have a say in it. Earlier a music composer would follow the vision of a director but now, there are a lot of people who are involved in it. Songs are getting repetitive these days and that is purely because people who do understand music are making the decisions. The music industry has surely evolved but unfortunately, we are still following the herd mentality. Today, we have multiple composers working on a single film, so it has become a surgical procedure.
When I started my Bollywood journey in 2003, I was still lucky enough to be in the era where only one music composer would work on one film.

They can just be dealers who know how to peddle music and don’t know how to churn good music.These days, filmmakers prefer to have multiple composers working on their film. The artist, who chose to release his band’s album online, had said in a video, “The system is being controlled by marketing executives and businessmen.
Sachar’s comments are reminiscent of indie-pop band ‘Euphoria’ singer Palash Sen’s comments that Bollywood had allowed creativity to take a backseat. So essentially, they are like engineers rather than musicians,” he said. Remixing is essentially done by DJs who try to mix two songs. “I love recreations, but remixing them randomly without adding any flavour and offering anything new is useless. Sachar, who dabbles in singing in addition to playing the saxophone, piano, harmonica, drums, flute, and 30 other instruments, said that remixing old songs was different from from recreating music. He added that now producers, music labels, and actors have a say in what was originally a music composer’s turf,”Earlier a music composer would follow the vision of a director but now, there are a lot of people who are involved in it.” Today, we have multiple composers working on a single film, so it has become a surgical procedure.” Sachar, who has been composing for Bollywood films for over a decade, said the process was akin to a ‘surgical procedure’ today: “When I started my Bollywood journey in 2003, I was still lucky enough to be in the era where only one music composer would work on one film.
