Mathias Duplessy, Music Composer
“My favourite memory in India was when I worked with a bunch of slum kids in Mumbai. The producer of Phat Phish Records, Anand Sarapur, requested me to compose an album with three children, Nagarjunn, age 13, singer and harmonium artiste, Durga, age 9, and Bramendra, who has played the stones like a percussion. Working with them was an incredible experience for me; just to share their energy, their joy of life, and see the power and value of life in their eyes. It was a huge lesson for me because in France I see a lot of people depressed and sad. Now, every time, I get into a blue mood, I think of them, and my sadness flies far away.”
