Indian Ocean is coming out with a DVD of its live concert
|
Creating history Indian Ocean in action
Indian Ocean has set a number of trends in the past. And here it is with another one. An audio CD of a live concert might be commonplace, but this fusion band is creating a precedent by launching a DVD of its live concert. Great idea? Then thank Amit Kilam, the band’s drummer, as the idea found its genesis in him. “All of us felt it was a great concept and decided to go ahead with it immediately,” explains Rahul Ram, the bassist and vocalist.
The band members feel they perform better onstage than in the studio, and this convinced them to go with Amit’s suggestion. “Our chemistry is enhanced onstage, which I feel makes a lot of difference. Even some of our fans have come up to us and said that. Anyway, this DVD is a celebration of the band for being together,” adds Rahul.
A cameraman friend, who has worked in Hollywood and Bollywood, came to their help with the technicalities. “We set up eight cameras to capture a show in Delhi. Later we did a 24-track recording in two sets at a studio. We went to a studio in Varadapalayam in Andhra Pradesh for post production, as a DVD requires a 5.1 mix,” says Rahul.
With 11 tracks, the DVD runs over 110 minutes and is priced at Rs. 300.
