Son of a prolific musician,Chiradip Sarkar had his inception into the world of music through the ‘Taalim’ in Tabla by his father and first mentor Late Pandit Chandi Das Sarkar at a budding age as a toddler. The musical journey that began by following his father’s footsteps was eventually destined in the waking of an established santoor player, was guided, navigated and steered through every obstacle by the pole star of his walk into fame, the santoor legend Pandit Tarun Bhattacharyya. Inspired by the creations of his guru, musical genius Pandit Tarun Bhattacharyya, Chiradip held a cherished dream to venture into the avenues of music direction, composition and music arrangements to give birth of a lyrical piece of his own.
After performing in several countries as a santoor player and listening to an ocean of musical pieces, Chiradip ultimately took up an adventure to create a complete song of his own composition, lyrics & arrangements, which is nothing but a completely new experience for him. His lyrics and touching melody with a tone of melancholy has become alive with the vocal of enormously talented singer Jamuna Kumari Damai, all though both of them remain occupied in their job but their practice of music is in such a serious note that music becomes their reason for beginning of a new day.
The song Yaadein is a true love song wrapped with tone of tragedy , loss and sadness. Along with the use of Classical Instruments like Flute, Santoor, Violin, Tabla, Chiradip also went de novo for the music arrangement part. This particular song combines a few eminent musicians all together, the galaxy of stars are Soumyajyoti Ghosh on Flute, Indradeep Ghosh on Violin, Tuhin Karmakar on Tabla, Avik Ganguly on Piano & programming, Again Avik Ganguly & Chiradip Himself for arrangements and also santoor played by Chiradip himself. Sanjoy Ghosh from Studio Resonance (Kolkata) has looked after the sound mixing and mastering of the song, which gets released recently in presence of Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya, ace composers like Debojyoti Mishra , Joy Sarkar. Chiradip and Jamuna said, ” It’s really a blessed moment at our end such musical genius’ have appreciated our music and graced our release function.”
