World Music Abi | DipakC | Inner Voice | Official Music Video and Behind the Track

Hope you enjoy my debut single in collaboration with DipakC.

I met Dipak during my time at university when we performed together. I was really impressed with how he could play the piano by ear. He has taught himself so much and is a wonderful collaborator to work with.

He contacted me during the pandemic and intiated our collaboration with a track he had already made. I asked him to wait until I was ready to commit to the project and I'm thankful for his patience. I put together a few vocal tracks which Dipak then selected and together, we're telling the story of the inner voice. We had several back and forths for mastering, We had a lack of coordination in our schedule to make the music video so after confirming the ideas were okay with Dipak, I went ahead with producing the music video for our collaboration.

A few words from Dipak:

It's been a real pleasure working with Abi. She's such a talented vocalist and delivered exactly what I envisioned! I wanted a chant/abstract vocal repetition at the beginning which continued through the track and Abi provide what you hear at the start and I was blown away at the accuracy of what I wanted vs what was delivered.

The first set of vocals were great and allowed me to snip and cut bits of the vocals and place them in certain places to give rise to varying textures of the track. When snipping, sometimes the vocals were distorted due to my errors and Abi was more than happy to record them again which we have used in this final track. I'm so glad I waited for Abi to be available to record this as the wait definitely paid off with Inner Voice - I couldn't be happier with it!

Here's an interesting fact: we did not meet in person at all to record this track or video!

How did this track make you feel?

Please let me know in the comments!

The lyrics are rhythmic syllables found in Carnatic and Hindustani music.
