That’s right!
You get The Music Video Project – a fitting ode to the creative spirit and diversity of Mumbai. And when all these minds come together – writers, lyricists, composers, directors, cinematographers, actors and all the other technicians and artistes – to create one stellar piece of art, it’s our way of doing justice to the UCCN’s theme for 2022 “Creativity – Path to Equality”.

The Music Video Project (MVP), as envisioned by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF) is an initiative under the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN).

The MVP supports the UCCN’s objective of fostering international cooperation across cities of the world that invest in culture and creativity as accelerators of sustainable development.
The Music Video Project has been conceptualised and executed by the 48 Hour Film Project, India as a way to involve creative professionals to create fresh music, stories and films featuring the city that celebrate its diversity, inclusive spirit and creativity.

A collaboration between Keydroid and Onkar Tarkase is one of the original tracks you can expect @MVP 2022. Penned by Shammika Bhide it is about finding a parallel between the monsoons bringing a season of longings and heartbreaks in a modern urban environment. Onkar came up with the vocal melody and Keydroid immediately jumped into making a dance tune out of it. Fusing it with Indian flute over bass drops and with glitchy sound design we tried to highlight the essence of a busy city life and leave the listeners foot tapping.

"Just having passed my twelfth standard exams, I'm an avid music lover with tastes across various
genres. These include AR Rahman, Madan Mohan, Kumar Gandharva, RD Burman, Naushad as well
as the likes of Michael Jackson,John Williams,Mozart and Bach.
I'm also a music composer, and have composed for few local short films and feature films.
My foray into classical music has been a curious one. When I first listened to classical compositions,
it was as if I came into contact with the very soul of the music. Its breathtaking nuances stirred me
passionately. And it was due to this that I decided to take up music. It was my inner calling.
Music altered my mind in various ways, and I would start analyzing it, understanding it, so that my
my own perception significantly developed.
Thus I started experimenting with sounds on my computer. My background as a tabla player also
aided me with this. But my repertoire was not to be limited to classical only; Michael Jackson
appealed to me as much as AR Rahman. Rock captivated me in different ways, too.
Naturally, I came to use DAW and other kindred platforms very proficiently. There I learned the
finer aspects of production. But in all these experiences, it has always been the inner spirituality,
that guided me. Creation, at any level, is a work of joy; and it is this that has propelled me on
smoothly."
