Shaping the soundtrack of a web show that depends as much on its music as it does on its storyline and the cast's acting chops is no mean feat. But New Zealand musician Mikey McCleary has evidently hit the bull's eye with the musical palette of Four More Shots Please 2. McCleary, who has already moved on to work on the third edition, discusses how the city lent itself to the creation of the score for part two.
Even though this show is contemporary and modern, it banks heavily on its depiction of Mumbai. Does that affect the way you compose?
It does. South Bombay is a world in itself. There, people listen to international music. There were jazz clubs, and, in general, it has been influenced by Western music for several decades. I am comfortable with that [genre]. There are some traditional elements in the score. But, a major chunk of the music is international. Also, the characters are modern women, who, I suppose will be consumers of music from across the world. Since we had established the music in season one, composing for season two was simpler. In season three, there will be songs with a Bollywood flavour and, scores with Indian tonality.
