There has been quite the uproar about the falling rupee rate. While some blame the economy, others blame the fact that many arbitragers went to sleep at a Something relevant concert. We at Metal Wikileaks, have the answer to the mystery however. The Rupee dropped even lower before the American Dollar because of a collaboration between India-based American nationals, Devesh Dayal and Nikhil Singh.
Last week, Devesh Dayal, guitar player of Delhi-based progressive outfit Skyharbor, and Bandra based post-hardcore outfit Protest the hero was commissioned to record a voice over by an unlikely client- Rajnigandha pan masala. It has been reported that Kelly Kapoor, Rajnigandha’s CEO quite liked the sound of young Devesh’s voice.
“It had a fresh twang to it. Although I wanted him to to un-roll his ‘R’s. I liked the texture of his voice, but wanted it to sound Indian. Why, you ask? Because fuck logic.”, said Kapoor.
As we reported earlier this year, Young Devesh recently finished his sentence with humour outfit Workshop, so recording at Sahil Makhija’s place was not an option; what with the bad blood between them.
Devesh could also not record vocals at fellow-guitarist Armaan Menzies’ home as the latter was out doing a photo shoot for Chaini khaini. The studio options were even fewer as the recently-resurrected Ayan De refused to step out of his room for anything other than to buy cigarettes and milk.
After much confusion and calls, young Devesh decided to call a producer from his homeland, Vishal J Singh’s cousin, Nikhil Singh of Shavasva fame. After much rolling of the ‘R’s and bitching about the bloody Indians, the two got down to working.
Four hours of recording and laughing about how “Dombivali” sounds, the jingle was ready. What the two gentlemen didn’t know is that it would greatly affect the Indian currency dynamic. We have an excerpt from the recording sessions, slyly backed up by our correspondent, Daniel Rego.
