Big B to record ‘Madhushala’ in his voice

Amitabh Bachchan now all set to sing his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s “Madhushala” in his own voice.  “Madhushala” is a collection of poems, which talks about the complexities of life, was published in 1935. Amitabh Bachchan is skeptical as to whether these poems appeal to young people today. The poems speak of the various complexities we face in life and was published in 1935.

“We look forward today in the music sessions from the age of unplugged instruments. Reality and the joy of hearing the original sounds of the string and ‘dholak’.  The great masters and their goods like Sarod, clarinet, violin, sitar all lost and buried under the weight of modern sounds mastered and produced by science and technology. Everything disappeared and outweighed by technology” Amitabh Bachchan  posted on his blog.

Amitabh Bachchan also posted”Gone are the days when recordings of songs from 100 to 150 musicians sat through days when the major studios, and played to perfection in one shot. A mistake by one resulting in the entire song you are recording again! Now the electronics take over. A small room, only 5 to 6, when a large machine that balances the sound, a microphone that is on the singer and the instrument at a time.
