Song: Sawa 14 August Signature Tune
Every Musical Score, Big or small, is always started with Piano Doodles, just like a visual artist starts a concept by making doodles on paper. These Piano Doodles are then refined into what we call a Signature Tune or a Theme which is later developed into the full score with the full orchestra. Here is the signature tune of the theater play ‘Sawa 14 August’ in it’s very minimal form played on the piano accompanied by a harp. Enjoy!

Strings fans could be seen in full force last Friday evening at the Royal Rodale Club in Karachi where Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood got off to a bumpy start amidst the muffled voices in the background. They belted out their first track of the evening, Humsafar, from their album Koi Aanay Wala Hai, which is somewhat fast becoming a signature opening number for their performances. The sound system too was good enough to pump energy into the audience.
Sans any glaring glitches or behind the scenes blunders, it was an amazing experience to be at the concert. Although the entry of stags and boys in groups was refrained following the club’s policy, the energy level wasn’t missing.
