The previous June, Blendzz completed her two years of formation. This blog was intended to come in a few weeks earlier, but i thought what the hell, anyway!
Ok, for the recent updates, Jairaj is in Mangalore, doing his course in Management, Vinay is in Bangalore, busy doing his computer courses, I'm in Texas, doing my Post-Graduation. The band's new find, Sandeep Nataraj, is also in Bangalore. For the record, he's the new guitarist who jammed with us, unfortunately for only a couple of times.
Plans were made, plans went awry and I would say, its all time. Time is the best judge in the court of life. Till THAT fortunate time arrives, no matter what decision is taken, no matter how it is taken, it won't get realised.
So, two of us in different directions, what would happen to the band? Frankly, we didn't give it a thought. The band is very much still on, still together, and I fervently do hope that there would be loads of things to look out for, when we get together. There were moments of uncertainties and moments of awkward discussions between the band mates as to what would happen after this short term break. I'd like to give this stage in life and music a term called TEST. A TEST for compatibility, a TEST for endurance, a TEST for music, itself.
I'm sure you'd agree with me that when you see a visual, a song video, or a movie, listening perfect music that would go hand in hand with that feeling or expression that the song conveys teleports you to some place divine. The mere thought of we, trying to create something out of nothing gives me a great turn on, which again puts in more thinking into my mind to living upto the standards we mentally set for ourselves.
All this wouldn't be possible with constant criticism and encouragement from the PANEL members of the band, criticism about voice modulation, about string section, about lyrics, about the feel, about the guitar chords - almost about everything. I'd like to call them secondary music arrangers. :)
So much for now, we've come a long way, for which i'm glad, all of us are. We've a long way to go, live through this TEST and wait and see what time has in store for us!
