Shor Police duo Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes on showcasing their experimental skills with the electronic score of Dobaaraa

Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes
In creating a score that was dominated by electronic dance music for Dobaaraa, Shor Police duo Clinton Cerejo and Bianca Gomes were faced with an unusual challenge. “While creating orchestral music, one can collaborate with live musicians who can bring out their personalities in their musical bits. Here, we were restricting ourselves and attempting to extract a personality from the software, because this was electronic music. Beyond a point, the film starts scoring itself. For instance, there is an eight-minute bit which has a certain pulse for its entire length. Everything begins to build around that bit, and it grips your attention. The brief that Anurag [Kashyap, director] gave us was that the [audience should feel like they are] on a treadmill, they can no longer keep walking, but cannot stop it,” says Cerejo, as Gomes says that they also had to ensure that the segments didn’t sound repetitive, as they could, when dealing with electronic music.
