In an interview with FACT published yesterday, Ricardo Villalobos reveals that he’s currently working on a Bollywood soundtrack project.
“Max [Loderbauer] and me are working on this Bollywood soundtrack,” he says. “We try to give some dance scenes a touch of our city. We’re Berlin-ising them, remixing them.”
Loderbauer and Villalobos this month release Re:ECM, a double-album of “sound-sculptures” inspired by the music of Manfred Eicher’s ECM label, including works by Alexander Knaifel and Arvo Pärt. Loderbauer is also a member of NSI. and The Moritz von Oswald Trio.
“First of all, we share a big respect for the Indian musical heritage, in general for Indian culture,” Villalobos continues. “Shah Rukh Khan is in it, and so are many other Bollywood greats. I suppose we really liked the idea of co-tailoring a musical costume for that movie.”
Nothing else about this project is known right now, but of course we’ll update you when we know more. Read the full interview with Villalobos here.
