Ravi Iyer<\/p><\/div>\n

The man behind composing \u201cGeeton Mein Woh Aawaaz Hain Hum<\/em>\u201d under the banner of \u2018Synthesis \u2013 The Indian Muse\u2019<\/em>\u2018[see \u2018Unique musical initiative supports Independence Day<\/a>\u2019 in our post of August 7, 2021], the amalgamation of sounds initiated by New Delhi-based ShowCase Events\u2019 Nanni Singh that went live across multiple digital platforms on August 15, 2021, guitarist\/composer Ravi Iyer<\/strong> is back at what he does best: sharing his incredible talent with listeners.<\/p>\n

In redoing a song from the past, \u201cFlying<\/strong>\u201d, Iyer\u2019s compositional skills are supported by mainly the spoken word, also by him, based on lyrics by Manisangsu Bhowmik<\/strong> that \u201creflect the everlasting conflict between conforming to status quo and spiritual liberty\u201d. The idea started with a candid discussion between Ravi Iyer and veteran sound engineer Aslam Khan<\/strong> at Headroom Studio, and eventually “Flying” found its wings.<\/p>\n

Iyer\u2019s compositions have always been tuneful and, on \u201cFlying\u201d, his arrangements never accelerate beyond a pleasant, mid-tempo groove, keeping just enough exotic flavour to make the music on it alluring and seductive, a typical Ravi Iyer trademark. \"\"<\/p>\n

Based in Mumbai, Ravi Iyer got his popularity because of his prowess on the guitar, amalgamating the sounds of a predominantly Western music instrument with multiple Indian instruments and, with it, Iyer is acknowledged for his unique sound and expertise in the genres of both fusion and rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Iyer began his musical journey by learning tabla during his childhood and later, in his teens, he took to playing the guitar. Apart from his solo projects, Iyer has also had the honour of performing with his biggest influences such as legendary artistes Dr. L Subramaniam and Padmabushan Shri Vikku Vinayakram. Besides being a well-known fusion guitar player, Iyer has also carved a niche as a composer and producer across songs, background scores, and advertising commercials.<\/p>\n

Released on December 3rd<\/sup>, 2021, \u201cFlying\u201d is supported by Shovon Mukherjee<\/strong> on upright bass, and on drums by [producer] Mann Bipin<\/strong>, co-recorded, mixed, and mastered by Aslam Khan<\/strong><\/a>, and published by industry veteran Atul Churamani\u2019s Turnkey Music & Publishing<\/em>. For those interested in viewing the video behind the song, directed by Suyash Mohan<\/strong>, you can watch the video below.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, revel in a track on which Ravi Iyer has one foot firmly planted in the New Age genre and, the other, flying<\/em> into easy-listening territory.<\/p>\n
