pancham-unmixed-artwork-for-screening

Synopsis:

Winner of 2 National Awards, Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai (113 minutes) takes an incisive look at the legendary composer, RD Burman’s reflective artistry, and buoyant-but-also-lonely inner being. Featuring a host of close friends, colleagues, and admirers, the film evokes awe, admiration and nostalgia the way most of his music does, till date.

Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai by Brahmanand S Siingh has been recognized as the most definitive film on one of the most versatile composers of the Hindi Film Music Industry, who brought about a revolution in the popular music of its time in the late 60s, almost single-handedly. For the next two decades, the film explores through a gripping narrative, how he captured the musical imagination of an entire subcontinent like none before — right from the entertainment seeking popular masses to the connoisseurs of classical Hindustani and Western, Jazz, Opera and Pop music. And, almost two decades after his demise, why he continues to be re-mixed and idolized endlessly, even today.

Diamonds and Rust

Untitled-1 DIAMONDS & RUST …an exciting coffee-table book on RD Burman by Brahmanand S Siingh & Gaurav Sharma

Diamonds & Rust is a somewhat unusual and amazing tapestry of anecdotes, insights, observations and take-offs on RD Burman, the maverick Indian music composer. It sprinkles thoughts from some of the most celebrated greats of all times (from Lennon and Quincy Jones to Maya Angelou, Pablo Neruda and Anais Nin to Gibran, Emerson, Rumi and Lao Tzu), which connects us with RD Burman’s life, music, attitude and deeper philosophies.

104-105

Sometimes informative, sometimes reflective and profound, this music buff’s treasure-chest reverberates with a musical feel of its own, into RD’s and perhaps all ours … lives, hopes, fears, insecurities, intuitions, creativity and the most compelling truths that we have somehow always known in all our hearts.

Revolving around the award-winning cult biopic on RD Burman, Pancham Unmixed and its additional priceless interview collection, Knowing Pancham, this elegantly composed and designed coffee-table book on the brilliant and loved composer’s life gives us a very different set of perspectives into his music and persona like never before.
