Water fascinates me. It is like a prayer to a troubled mind. It soothes my soul and instills peace. I must mention that I can’t swim! I am terrified even thinking of what I’d do if I were to be in waters deeper than 4ft without a life jacket .. nevertheless I can’t help but feel attracted to the sea. Isn’t there something really nice about the flowing water of a river and the sound it makes? So serene, silent and subtle! I always thought how cool it would be to record that sound then listen to it while imagining I that am standing right in the middle of a river! (a feat that would otherwise be impossible considering my literally hidden swimming talent!)
About a month ago when I was out on a trip with my family we happened to visit a little stream. I whipped out my cell phone and recorded the sound just for fun. I forgot all about it later and it was many days later when I was browsing through the contents of my phone one evening that I came across the recording. I heard it myself for the first time and was quite surprised by the clarity of it! I copied it onto my laptop and tinkered around a little bit with stereo settings and applied an equalizer to it, to bring out the crisp trickling sound – and I had a really nice piece of sound there!
I was already thinking of “te amo” for my next project by that time and I decided to use the recording in the track. And you know what? It fit in well with the kind of beat I had imagined the song would have.
Somehow this track and the recording have modified my taste. I want to be a minimalistic in selecting instruments and percussion. I want to incorporate more natural sounds like that of a cricket or that of wind flowing among the trees or the chirping of birds or the thunder and rain.. lets see how many I can gather and present in subsequent songs.. already waiting for the monsoons! Meanwhile enjoy this track.. really hope you guys like it!

Wow !! Did you just download my thoughts from somewhere? The first paragraph is almost a word-for-word copy of the things I say to my husband when I try to explain why I have this urge to jump into the sea each time I am in close proximity to it….and BTW, I cannot swim either.
Just heard your version of Kahin na laage man on your youtube channel…good job. I will check out the songs posted here as well 🙂
You may want to try Abhi Abhi from Jism2…it is the most played song on my ipod currently.
