Siddhant Mathur, who has composed music and background score for both seasons on Netflix Jamtara – Subka Number Aayegatalked about his musical process.
Explaining how JamtaraThe music of was born, he says, “Since we didn’t have time, we had made a schedule that had to be strictly followed. Almost every sequence in the series was given a deadline when it had to be composed and completed. However, there were a few scenes that took a long time to break down. One such scene was in Episode 5 of Season 2, which now seems like a very simple piece of music, but it drained us emotionally. It set the whole schedule back by 3 days, which luckily we were able to catch up on.”
As for the challenging parts, he added, “Both seasons of Jamtara have been very challenging. The main challenge of Season 1 was to create this new sound world of Jamtara. We rejected many ideas before adopting the emotion scoring approach. The second season was supposed to be bigger, better and grander in every way. So it brought even more challenges.”
Sharing about the making of Hasot Liye, a song from the series, Siddhant says, “According to the brief, it was to be a fun, cheerful and uplifting song set against a wedding scene with street-style vocals narrating the situation of the entire phishing scam of Jamtara. The song went through many name changes before we finally decided to call it Hasot Liye. There are some songs that we work on over time and they evolve into the final versions as we hear them. But Hasot Liye, unlike these kinds of songs, was born the day it was written.”
Sharing about his personal life and upbringing, Siddhant says he started performing music through high school and college, participating in bands and musicals, playing guitar and bass. He went to Toronto in 2003 to study audio engineering and technology, which adds the key layer of a producer’s perspective to his music. He has been a part of countless independent music albums and productions (Shilpa Rao, Parikrama, Indian Ocean, Mrigya, Faridkot to name a few) as a producer and engineer from Quarter Note Studios, New Delhi, which he co-founded in 2006.
Apart from indulging in theatre, radio, producing independent artists, live performances and engineering on international stages, he has composed music for critically acclaimed Hindi feature films: Children of War (2014) (Raima Sen, Farooq Sheikh, Pawan Malhotra), Budhia Singh – Born to Run (2016 and National Award Winner for Best Children’s Film) (Manoj Bajpai, Gajaraj Rao, Tillotama Shome) and Short Films: Paroksh (Drishyam Films, Youtube), Bete (Drishyam Films, Youtube) and Madhyantara, Mannat (MX Player).
