The Delhi-based challenge Antariksh have launched the music video of their just lately launched single, “Quest”. Varun Rajput, mind behind the progressive rock challenge, feels that the tune, which noticed him collaborate with Megadeth guitarist Mary Friedman, wanted an animated video, which might be interpreted in some ways.
“I’m really excited about how the visuals and story almost perfectly compliment the song and just can’t wait for people across the world to see it and interpret the story in their own ways,” Rajput tells IANS.
He additionally talks concerning the “humbling experience” he had whereas working with Friedman for the tune.
“The collaboration with Marty Friedman happened in a surreal and almost bizarre way when I met him at the Delhi airport. I somehow gathered the courage to ask him if he’d be up for playing a guest solo on one of our songs,” he says.
“Working and interacting with him was a really humbling and enriching experience for he is such a modest and affable person,” provides Rajput.
For Marty, this was his third collaboration with an Indian act, and it’s clear why he loves collaborating with musicians from India, particularly when he talks about his love for music by Pandit Ravi Shankar.
“As a kid, I learned a lot of melody sense and rhythmic things from sitar music. I learned only the surface, nothing deep, and I certainly did not master anything I learned. But it taught me how to find things I like and steal just those things. I did that with music from many other cultures. Playing in a real Indian project, the goal for me was just to get through it without anyone saying, ‘This guy is a fake! He is making a fool out of himself trying to play along with real Indians’,” Marty tells us.
“Something about Varun gave me the idea that he was the real deal, and once I heard the song I was in. The song was really well thought-out and I could feel that Varun and his band put a lot of energy and care into the detail,” he provides.
