Legendary band, Warfaze’s, guitarist Oni Hasan is now the talk of the town. He is spending his busy times with the making of his debut instrumental album. Typical hard rock/heavy metal musician, Oni is now working to serve his fans some instrumental experience through his most awaited solo project. In a short chit-chat with him, Oni has shared his experiences of recording the album. “Playing in a band all the time keeps you in the boundaries. You always have a limit of doing things. There are certain things you can’t explore, because of the genre and end up getting stuck to one thing. So, I wanted to get out of that and explore the other sides of me as a player, as a musician,” he commented on the reasons behind planning for a solo instrumental album. With a few fresh and talented young musicians, Oni has started recording the tracks at a brand
new studio “Smoke Stack Studio.” Regarding the theme of the album Oni commented, “There’s no theme actually. I started with the goal of wanting to make some quality, soulful music. I’m getting every bit of emotion out of my guitar and trust me, it sounds amazing so far. I can’t wait for it to be out already.” Oni has got big plans for this project. He wants to make this into a live band and play in live shows around the world. Oni wishes to complete all the recordings by January. “I wasn’t actually this serious when recording albums with Warfaze. I am working day and night on this. And the fans I have are amazing. I probably have the best fans in the world. They love everything I do and all my efforts are devoted to them.” Imtiaz Salim

With Khiyo’s new album just around the corner, we had a quick chat with the vocalist, Sohini Alam, to know more! The upcoming album will feature what Khiyo sees as “Bengali heritage music.” Khiyo focuses on the use of actual instruments in the studio, rather than solely depending on the laptop. Oliver Weeks and Sohini Alam worked on the basic structure and arrangements of the songs to help them strike a chord with the newer generation; arrangements that resonated them as musicians. “Ben Hillyard then joined us and we would jam the songs out and then change things as and when necessary. We did the same when working with tabla player, Hassan Mohyeddin, who played on the album. Olly wrote out basic drum charts for Derek Scurll and detailed viola parts for Danyal Dhondy, and we eventually
properly rehearsed and came up with a more structured arrangement. It was a long process. We’ve basically been developing this album for over five years,” says Sohini, talking about Khiyo’s first album. With Khiyo, the band wanted the instruments to not just complement the vocals, but also sound beautiful without. While the vocal lines of many of these Bengali songs are wonderful, Sohini, along with Oliver Weeks had often felt that the instrumentation of the songs were at times treated like some “poor cousin” or largely ignored. With the album, Khiyo not only revamps sepia-toned classics but with this album will probably manage to introduce to the the magic that the golden era classics . Nabeela M.
The bass effect One of the key elements of jazz music is the tuba. It is the largest and lowestpitched brass instrument. The name tuba in Latin means trumpet or horn. It is often referred to as the horn of music because of its attributes. The sound produced is created by the vibration of the air blown into the large mouth piece. The tuba first made its appearance in the mid-19th century, back then it was largely used as an addition to the orchestra. It is the principal instrument for marching bands and symphonic
bands. It serves as the bass for the brass instrument section. The tuba has been used in jazz since the genre’s origin. In the early days, bands often used a tuba for outdoor playing and a double bass for indoor performances. In this context, the tuba was sometimes called “brass bass”, in contrast to the double bass, which was called “string bass.” When used in modern jazz, tubas usually fill the traditional bass role, although it is not uncommon for them to take solos. tahsin momin
