It is about connecting with people again: Tanishk Bagchi on recreating old songs

The perception is due to the dearth of original songs, old hit tracks are remixed but music composer Tanishk Bagchi disagrees.

The composer, known for recreating "Tamma Tamma" and "Mere Rashke Qamar", says by rearranging old songs he wants to develop a connect with his audience.

"There is talent and there are a lot of great originals coming out too. I myself have done originals like 'Banno' (Tanu Weds Manu), 'Bol Na' (Kapoor and Sons), etc. When you recreate something you try and refresh the same connect that's been there already with a particular track and people have liked it," Tanishk told PTI.

The music director's latest song "Aankh Marey" is recreated by the makers for the film "Simmba" featuring
"The original itself provided a nice quirky base for me to build it up and add my stuff in it. It has the new-age recreation vibe to it which the current generation likes, yet still feels the '90s."
"There's a slight difference between remix and recreation. In a remix you basically put a beat and a bass lone in the already existing track. In a recreation, you change the entire arrangement. Just the vibe and the main tune remains the same, rest it's all rearranged."
