YOU NEED TO READ THIS !!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">This week is going pretty amazing for Symphony Novel. Another outstanding review on the song " Ethereal Ash" by </span><a href="http://philspicks.wordpress.com/"><span style="color: orange;">Phil's Picks</span></a><span style="color: #cccccc;">. He has clearly gone through every section of the track so much in detail - both musically and lyrically that the review is something that you should stop by and give a read. It will definitely be your time well spent. </span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span><span style="color: #cccccc;">Check it out :- </span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"India-based progressive metal band Symphony Novel recently debuted its latest single. ‘Ethereal Ash,’ the band’s latest single is a piece that is unlike the works crafted by most other bands of its ilk. Its mix of traditional Indian musical styling and heavier, progressive metal makes for a song that defies the standards of progressive metal itself. The song’s rather thought provoking lyrics set against that hybrid musical side makes the song even more intriguing for anyone looking for something that will actually make audiences stop for once and take real notice. The song’s companion video adds even more depth, making for even more interest among audiences. Together with the song’s lyrical and musical side, it serves to make ‘Ethereal Ash’ a song that everyone should hear at least once.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the most common practices that many American rock bands use in their records is incorporating a Middle Eastern sound into its music. It’s something that’s used all too often in the hard rock world. Save for indie rock band Boy Hits Car, few other bands today have really utilized Indian music in their records. So hearing a band from India actually turning the tables and utilizing more Western elements into its own sound to create this song is actually relatively original. That hybrid sound is the core of what makes ‘Ethereal Ash’ so intriguing. The dual guitar attack of Vivek Khati and Rachit Sachdeva conjures thoughts of Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci’s own work. And the harmonies created by Gauri Ayeer and Suvarna Tiwari’s dual vocals are so haunting to say the very least. There is so much power in the subtle manner in which they carry their parts. The addition of a cello line to the song adds even more depth to the song’s musical side that must be heard to be fully appreciated. As subtle as it is, this part combined with the heavier elements of the song’s musical side adds so much emotional depth to the song. ‘Etheral Ash’s’ musical side is by itself an impressive part of the whole song. The reality of the matter is that if the song were to have only its musical side to boast, it would still be just as interesting as it is <em style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">with</em> its lyrical side. Speaking of the song’s lyrical side, the lyrics are one more element of ‘Ethereal Ash’ that makes it such an interesting work.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The musical side of ‘Etheral Ash’ by itself makes this latest single from Symphony Novel worth more than just one listen. It makes the song one that anyone looking for something truly original should hear. The lyrical side of ‘Ethereal Ash’ takes the song’s musical side and adds even more depth to the song. The band explains that the song’s lyrical content is rather socially charged. It centers on mankind’s mistreatment of the Earth, and the potential outcome of mankind’s mistreatment. Ayeer and Tiwari sing in the song’s opening verse, “Rain falls again/Unfurls wild color/The earth smirks insane/Carpets the stain of sorrow/New wings span everywhere/Embrace the veil of destiny.” The band urges a warning in the song’s verse with Ayeer and Tiwari singing, “Heavens are clear now/But it wouldn’t last forever/Winds stay sealed in a jar/Away from all the torture/Silence kills me now/Leaves a trail of bleeding tears/From the pages of a story foretold/Epiphany.” Sachveda notes of these words that they are meant metaphorically, saying that mankind has done such damage to Earth that the winds themselves want to be put in a jar away from all of the bad things humans have done to the planet. He goes on to note that the lines regarding all of this environmental destruction were foretold. That likely isn’t necessarily a reference to Nostradamus but to other “prophecies.” Things only get more dire in the song’s second verse with Ayeer and Tiwari singing of crashing waves (tsunamis) and other signs of the prophecy in question. Sachveda notes that in writing this line, he was thinking of all of the natural disasters that have been ravaging the Earth in recent years, thus that verse was written. It’s a foreboding warning, true. But it is also a very powerful statement, too. It was not meant to be preachy, but rather to get people to sit up and take notice of what humans have done to the world. He wanted to get people to consider the ramifications of the damage being done to the Earth without being preachy but rather more poetic. The good news is that said goal was attained and done expertly, too. It really doesn’t come across as just another nihilistic downer of a song. But it definitely does hit hard when taking those lyrics into consideration. Taking also into consideration such hard-hitting lyrics next to the song’s deeply emotional musical side, ‘Ethereal Ash’ becomes an even more powerful piece for audiences to take in.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cccccc;">The combination of ‘Ethereal Ash’s’ musical and lyrical sides makes this song a hard hitting work. They combine to make a song that is just as strong as anything released by Symphony Novel’s more well-known prog-rock counterparts both stateside and overseas. Given the chance, ‘Ethereal Ash’ could make Symphony Novel one of the next big names in prog-metal and even world music. Thankfully, the band has increased its chances of the song being heard around the world as it has posted the song’s companion video online via YouTube. Audiences can view the video online now at </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqRPUvJkPqI" sl-processed="1" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><span style="color: orange;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqRPUvJkPqI</span></a><span style="color: #cccccc;">. The video incorporates that element of a prophecy of sorts to add even more depth to the song. It presents right off the top, a document that is surrounded by candles in an otherwise dark room. That same document comes into play throughout the course of the song, with the song’s lyrics fading in and out. This is mixed in with shots of the band recoding the song in the studio. It heightens the song’s emotional impact even more when given full attention. That added emotion coupled with the combination of the song’s musical and lyrical sides prove even more why ‘Ethereal Ash’ is the song that could help Symphony Novel become one of the next big names in the realm of prig-metal." </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a great start to the week when Rich Dodgin , from All About The Rock Magazine , UK published the Skype Interview he had with Rachit Sachdeva. It was a fun interview talking about the new single " Ethereal Ash" , how Symphony Novel came into existence , band members , collaboration with other artists, influences and much more. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check it out :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I’m a huge fan of Indian progressive / experimental rockers <b>Symphony Novel</b>. I was really impressed with their debut album <b>ARIA</b>, and their new single ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’ is simply breathtaking – and by and away my favourite release of 2014 so far.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was therefore delighted when <b>Rachit Sachdeva</b> (band founder, main song writer, and guitarist) said he’d love to do a skype interview with myself for All about The Rock.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Q .</span><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all Rachit, a huge thank you for doing this interview – I love what Symphony Novel are doing, and it’s great to have this opportunity to talk to yourself and for myself and out readers to learn some more about the band, and the new single.</span></b></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. My pleasure.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. Do you want to start by telling me about how Symphony Novel came to be?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Sure. So, I started <b>Symphony Novel</b> in 2012, and at that point it was basically just a home project for me because I’d just come back from the US where I’d graduated from MI (Musicians Institute) and I didn’t know anyone from the music industry here in India. But I had the songs ready and so I got in touch with <b>Gino Banks</b>, one of the best drummers in India right now, and showed him the songs and he was very excited and keen to collaborate with me.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So <b>Symphony Novel </b>started from then, and we didn’t involve anyone else and went to the recording studio and recorded the first album. Because I didn’t know anyone else at that time, I played all the lead and acoustic guitars on the first album, but at the studio we got introduced to <b>Sheldon D’Silva</b> who played bass, and who agreed to play bass on the album. And my girlfriend introduced me to a couple of vocalists – <b>Bhavika Shetty</b> who sings on ‘<b>Chant</b>’, and <b>Gauri Aayeer</b> who did the vocals on the rest of the tracks. And we recorded the album and it was released at the end of 2013.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. Right. So would you describe the Symphony Novel that recorded ARIA as a band at that time? </span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. No. The first album it was me getting in touch with other musicians to record the album. A collaboration really.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. But that has changed with the recording and release of ‘Ethereal Ash’, right?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Correct. After the first album was released, <b>Symphony Novel</b> was really me and <b>Gauri</b>, we were the two permanent band members. And we were looking for a guitarist, and got in touch with <b>Vivek Khati</b> over Facebook, he is a incredible guitar player with deep influences from Progressive Rock, Neo Classical, Jazz Fusion, Indian classical, and Carnatic music. I sent him the songs from <b>ARIA</b>. He really liked what he heard and said he’d like to join the band as a permanent member.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">And for ‘</span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Ethereal Ash</b><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">’ I didn’t want to be restricted to just to western vocals – that Gauri would be doing – I wanted classical Indian vocals as well. So I got in touch with </span><b style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Savarna Tiwari</b><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> who’s been into Indian classical music for fourteen years and who teaches music and everything. We had a jam and really jelled musically. She has been into the Bollywood industry for a very long time contributing songs to daily soaps and movies, so this was like a very new discovery for her giving Indian classical harmonies for a progressive rock band. And she joined the band too.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So we four (</span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rachit</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gauri</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vivek</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, and</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Savarna)</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">are the permanent members of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Symphony Novel</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. We don’t have a permanent bass player and drummer, but we are in talks with a few players. It’s a bit difficult as there is more likeness to being a sessions musician in India, rather than being restricted to one band.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. So for the recording of the single, you had Gino and Sheldon but they were effectively session musicians?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Correct. Along with <b>Jake Charkey</b>, who is a brilliant cello player from the States.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. Well, the end result is amazing. And I have to say that I really liked ARIA, but for me ‘Ethereal Ash’ has taken Symphony Novel to the next level. Do you guys feel there is a big difference musically between the two?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Yes, we feel it ourselves. We really feel like we stepped up to the next level. ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’ really shows what we are capable of as musicians.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I’d like to mention <b>Forrester Savell</b> from Australia who mixed / mastered ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’. He’s worked with bands like <strong>Animals As Leaders</strong>, <strong>Karnivool</strong>, <strong>Dead Letter Circus,</strong> and is also working on the upcoming <strong>Skyharbor</strong> album.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And we recorded the track at <b>Double Shift Productions</b> in Mumbai, and they were so good. They really listened to us and helped us do what we wanted, and also helped make the sound so good.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. So how on earth do you follow ‘Ethereal Ash’? You’ve really set the bar high for yourselves.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Yeah. Shit. (laughs). We all want the next song to be as good or better than ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. What was the song writing and recording process for the song?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. So the starting point was the lyrics and music that I’d written. And then during recording the others contributed their own ideas. I had an overall vision for the song, which we tried to stick to, but I was completely open to their ideas too, and so for example the Indian vocals, guitar solo, and cello parts were what the guys came up with themselves.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. And what was the vision for ‘Ethereal Ash’ ?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Initially, I wanted it to be about the climate. I’d been reading lot of documentaries and articles about the climate. So I wanted to reflect that in the lyrics. But instead of getting too deeply into the subject matter I made the lyrics more poetic.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. ‘Ethereal Ash’ was funded in some part via a crowd-funding campaign. Can you tell us about that?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Sure. Well, I wanted to do a single rather than an album. But I wanted the value of the single song to be as good as the whole album had been. So the budget was going overboard as I wanted every part of the recording process to be the best. And it wasn’t long before the amount I’d spent on the single was more than I’d spent on the whole of <b>ARIA</b>.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So got in touch with <b>Wishberry</b> and told them the concept I had. I showed them the lyrics and talked them though my vision for ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’. They were really excited about the song and accepted the project and gave me 60 days.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And <b>Wishberry</b> believing in what we were doing was a big help. But even so, it’s a daunting task because you have to convince people to give you their money, and that you’re not going to run off with their money.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It started well, and then for a few weeks it was a bit slow. So, me and all the band, and all our friends and families mucked in to help make it a success by telling people about the campaign. And by the end we had so many people contributing, right up until the last minute of the campaign. We’d aimed for 250 000 rupees (£1500 / $2400) but actually reached 275 000 rupees (£1800 / $3000) so it went really well. But it was hard, and I think the main thing I learned is how to market myself and the band.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. I bet. So, just to pick up on what you said there – you had to sell the campaign to Wishberry? They could have said “No, that’s not for us” ?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Yes, they only accept campaigns for projects that have been thought about and that they believe are going to succeed. Which is a good thing because it means they believe you will deliver.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. Fantastic! You had some interesting campaign rewards didn’t you, can you tell us about those?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Yes. The rewards included a digital download of ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’, a <b>Symphony Novel</b> t-shirt, an individual hand-written poem by me (I actually had to write seven poems!), credits on the music video, and a jam session with the band.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. And what has the reaction been like for the single?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. It’s been really good. We’ve had lots of positive feedback and a lot of good reviews. Radio City, an Indian internet radio company, contacted us – and so we into their studio and played some live songs and were interviewed, as well as having the new single played. <strong>Mohan Kanan</strong>, the vocalist of <strong>Agnee</strong> (one of the most established and highly respected indie bands from India) personally shared the track on Facebook, and tweeted the song. It’s a great deal <img alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://allabouttherock.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /> Oh, and <b>Mark Tremonti</b> tweeted how much he liked ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’ which was really special for us!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wow. That is really cool!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. So, a question about yourself if that’s ok – are you in Symphony Novel full-time, or do you work as well?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. I teach guitar lessons. Which is where half of the money for ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’ came from. The other half from the crowd-funding campaign.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. And actually, while we’re talking about you, can you tell us a bit about yourself? are you from Mumbai originally?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. No. I was born in Delhi, but when I was young my parents moved to a small place near Mumbai where I did my schooling, and then I came to Mumbai for my further studies – I’m a qualified mechanical engineer. Then I was working in Mumbai as a sales executive. But I was learning the guitar and I really wanted to take up music as a career. But it was hard to convince my parents. But finally they agreed and I went to LA to the Musicians Institute to do my degree in music. Then I came back to India.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. What are your personal influences?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. I listen to a lot of different genres – progressive, alternative, melodic death, and classical. But I try not to get influenced by other musicians, so I don’t listen to music at all while working on a new track.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. What’s the music scene like in Mumbai and India right now?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. In India now a lot of places have opened where you can play live. But last year there weren’t many open to play the sort of music we play – because we were seen as not playing a metal set, not playing a funk set, not playing a classic rock set, not playing a hard rock set. So it was like a completely new genre, and people were saying where shall we put you in? But with ‘<b>Ethereal Ash</b>’ we won’t face that problem as we have shown we are towards the metal side. In fact we should be playing some gigs in the near future.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q. So what are you guys doing next? Earlier in the interview you mentioned another song?</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A. Yes. We should be ready with a new single by February. It’s going to be a bit darker. Heavy. And it may have classical vocals from another language.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That’s sounds very interesting – can’t wait!</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, a massive thank you for giving me the time today to speak to you and learn some more about Symphony Novel and the way in which you created such an amazing piece of music.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0.6em 30px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you."</span></div>
