Sunoh

SUNOH is a simple album with simple tunes and simple music. It is
what happened when it did. It is about what I was feeling and
aspired towards. It is basic, profound and an expression of this
journey that we are all undertaking together. Lucky said , " My second mother presented me a guitar when I was
thirteen years old. Until then I had been exposed to recordings and
studios. My first composition was a 3 chord lament called 'nobody
loves me' Of course I was wrong. From music it went to horses, and
then to acting, and direction, further on to rough necking on the
rigs, to washing carpets finally I returned to music. That was a few
guitars later One broke, the others I just lost or gave away
". About the lyrics Lucky Ali told "Writers Block is a tradition with
me. Walls in front made of bricks that always loom larger than life.
It was simpler for Aslam to express our thoughts and ideas". About the experience - "I seriously have not sat down and assessed
my journey this far. Making the album has been rewarding like all
other experiences I have had, When I've worked hard to complete
something and have finally done so. Probably the hardest part for
first timers is identifying the label that wants what
you have to give without
wanting your blood, sweat and tears. With all changes that one
goes through over time, my inclination has remained towards
simplicity and hope, and the awareness which leads to action which
leads to fruition. Acting & Music - " Acting is hard work. You incorporate the
character's personality into your own. In my experience, it has been
the directors prerogative to decide what part suits who, anyway, you
live and breathe the character for a long time after the work
experience, which is tough because everyone keeps wondering 'what's
wrong with you'. In the Indian commercial film scene you
probably get desensitized because the system does not want you to
think it's geared towards the unthinkable. When I compose music I
take the entire picture and interpret it into notation, record it
and then forget about it. It's simpler. About Goals - " I am still alive so it is evident I have not yet
reached my goal, but yes I'm working towards that situation. When I
look back one final time and feel that I lived life in accordance to
the way I was brought up and what was inculcated in me in terms of
certain values, certain truths about life itself. So when I look
back I should have no regrets about how I existed.
"Futures are built on experiences of the past. What is important
to me is the 'now', because dwelling in the past or thinking about
the future is as futile as the other. If the 'now' is uncomplicated,
the future will take care of
itself. |
