we would love to compose for movies says vasu dixit the vocalist and rhythm guitarist of bangalorebased band swarathma who are in hyderabad today social message behind the music right from the formation of the band we decided we wouldnt just be a form of entertainment but wanted to be much more our song topiwalleh is a satirical take on the current political scenario in the country kurana and ghum have tackled the issue of sexual abuse weve always known that music has the power to emotionally connect with the audience and we as artists are very sensitive for us music is not so much a conscious effort but an intuition music and lyrics when it comes to new tracks we always compose the music first we play around with the melody and then jam with two lines to see if they go with the violin and we take it from there sometimes i might be on my bike when i think of the tune and lyrics then i try to see where it fits and what the song does to me or the rest of the band we have different ways of writing songs sometimes were just jamming and things fall into place there are times when we sit together while writing the lyrics have discussions agreements and disagreements thats how we do it the folkrock scene today there are a lot of bands today doing the same kind of music take raghu dixit for example or even susheela raman both of them are into folkrock and have made quite a difference to the scene honestly now is the best time as the scene is moving upwards there are a lot of venues opening concerts and music festivals that are happening moreover the audience is aware of the scene through social media tv music shows and bollywood the fact that there are so many shows on tv like sound trippin the music project the dewarists etc proves that people are ready to accept independent musicians things are changing and the bridge between bollywood and independent artists is much smaller than what it was earlier speaking of bollywood wed love to compose for movies but wed stick to what we do we look up to indian ocean a lot and we love what they did in the film black friday thats something wed want to do as well and be proud of were very optimistic about getting offers though hyderabad calling all the boys except me are dying to try the hyderabadi biryani weve always come on a tight schedule that we havent yet had the chance to really go around the city oh we are also big fans of the movie the angrez everytime were in hyderabad we put on the the angrez accent and talk in pukka hyderabadi just like in the film we did go to the old city and check out charminar too
