"Panditji urged me to remain rooted during musical journey"

Having been asked by Pandit Ravi Shankar to retain the Indian sensibilities in his music, percussionist Tanmoy Bose's drummer son Shiladitya avers he can never take off the cloak of Hindustani classical from any modern form of composition in SOS, a just launched solo musical.
The 19-something Shiladitya, who came in contact with all luminaries including the sitar legend, recalls how "Panditji had implored me to be always very rooted in any musical journey of mine. I rue not having been able to introduce him to my form of Electronic Dance Music , the acoustic notes, but I always remember what he had said. Hailing from Bengal and from a musician's family my works must be in sync with our rich heritage."

Siladitya, having picked up the subtleities of music under the tutelage of Pandit Tanmoy Bose at the age of six, confirms if he had evolved as a musician it was all about taking out music from the pure orthodox classical style without tampering the basics.
"Anouskadidi, who had egged me on to try my own brand of music with natural sounds. Could relate to my vision of amalgamating the two genres. I am blessed to get the patronage of gurus like Ustad Rashid Khan who also told me music is more about touching souls than sticking to the parameters only," the youngest musical talent having collaborated with Sony Music said.

"From khol, dhol to drums, from traiditonal stringed instruments to their modern versions, we will blend the notes and synchronise," he said.
Tanmoy, the 'Taaltantra man' explained how pursuing two parallel strands of instrumental music won't seem incongruous within the same hoiusehold.

"He is trying to initiate the present day non-classically attuned generation to our rich treasure trove. He is aiming recreate the soundscape by blending the contemporary and traditional instruments," Tanmoy said.
"His language is today's language. In my music I had always sought to blend Hindustani Classical and Rural Folk Music. Shiladitya has sought to take this tradition forward," he said.

The SOS, an outcome of natural Dubstep with a tinge of Moombahthon, both retained influences of his sessions with father as well as with his own Techno Tantrik musical troupe, Sildaitya said.
