Sachin-Jigar composed the score of the Dimple Kapadia-fronted show
As music journalists who consume cinematic pieces with intention, rarely are we so moved by the background score of a series that we feel compelled to research about the composers and request for an interview. More often than not, however, such moments lead us to musician duo Sachin-Jigar, whose deftly crafted musical motifs brought Homi Adajania’s recently released web series, Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo, to life.
“We went to Gujarat and recorded folk artistes, and instruments like the jodia pawa, which is a double flute, and the banjo, which is also called the bulbul tarang. We needed those flavours in the background score,” says Sachin of the Dimple Kapadia-fronted series that follows a group of fierce women who run a covert drug cartel. “We got these raw sounds from there. We allowed the artistes to perform like they would [in their natural setting]. We recorded each instrument individually, returned to Mumbai and then thought about how we wanted to layer them,” he says, crediting Adajania for giving them the freedom to chart the series’ auditory course.
