Quotes edit

  • Shankar Mahadevan: We come from different musical backgrounds. It's our USP too. We work more like a band rather than just composers. All our compositions come out during jam sessions. I am sure we will never spilt because we understand and respect each other's creativity.
  • Loy Mendonsa: I'm often asked how we function within a trio. I tell them you must try sitting on a two-legged chair.
  • Ehsaan Noorani: (on R.D. Burman) He thought light years ahead of everyone else. He was very global in what he did. Even with limited technology and media coverage, RD did exemplary work.
  • Shankar Mahadevan: There is a very thick line between being repetitive and having your own sound. You can always re-invent yourself - think about the sounds you are using. I don't see any reason why you have to be repetitive if you have enough knowledge, enough exposure.
  • Shankar Mahadevan: Classical music is a great advantage you have. Be it during composing or arranging, classical music is like grammar.
