Papa got home this cassette from Music Mania that had a collection of Ganpati chants. All the songs were sung by Uma Mohan. It was called Ganpati Mool Mantra.
I loved it so much, I'd kind of made up my mind back then only that I would someday do something with this song.
What better time than the lockdown.
So I kept my H6 handy recorder in the Versova home balcony for about 2 hours one evening. Got a decent amount of the evening azaan, along with some random motorcycle sounds and all. Isolated the sounds I wanted and cleaned it up using some nice plugins.
Put the azaan together with this Ganpati mool mantra and it sounded damn neat. Also made a political point just by the by. Took some Gandhi speech sounds off the Internet, one where he was talking about going to Mysore, and added it because what doesn't sound better with speech vocals, right?
This was the final result. I'm pretty proud of it, tbh. One day's work.
