Percussionist Sivamani
As has been with several artistes ever since the lockdown was imposed, the percussionist found himself at the mercy of technology to compose his tunes. His first tryst at doing so was for AR Rahman's lockdown song, Hum haar nahi maanenge. "I had to call my sound engineer to guide me through the process. Now, I can record my drum sessions [using digital software]. I have also done online-concerts with my keyboard player. It helped that we live in the same building, so we could work on the concerts [seamlessly]. Apart from that, I have also done a few [virtual gigs] with Runa."
Having found himself in the midst of shifting into a new home when the lockdown was announced, Sivamani is glad that even though the kitchen and living room was undone, he had his music room set up suitably. "Now, I am working on another movie that rolls in October. There are surprises linked with that," he says elusively.
