Music Recording comes out of the Shadows

Being a sound technician I have been watching the technical changes in music and on the basis of my experience I have reached the conclusion that we cannot record the exact music that is played live before us. This is the fact that I have tried bringing on record through my film, said Pratik. He was interacting with the media persons after screening of his film On and Off the Records at 45th IFFI today. Technology has been overshadowing songs, in an area that has to be addressed and its a challenge before us to strike a balance between the two.

Technological history of music has been a shadow zone which hardy anybody has ventured into in terms of film making. But Pratik Biswas is an exception. He has made a non-feature film on the subject. A self taught and self made sound technician, Pratik has explored one hundred years journey of technical changes in Indian music.
