    Nitin Sawhney - Discuss your fav songs here.

    Nitin is arguably the busiest, most versatile and most sought after composer and producer alive today. Having recently signed a lucrative deal with Universal Publishing, he has made 8 studio albums, for which he has been nominated for a Mercury Music prize, won a MOBO, 2 BBC Radio 3 awards and a Southbank show award, amongst 15 others. He has scored over 40 films for cinema and television, with an Ivor Novello nomination for best score leading to his forthcoming Orchestral music to the BBC series “The Human Planet”, Salman Rushdie’s new screenplay “Midnight’s Children”, Mira Nair’s recent film “The Namesake”, two recent film scores for live performance by the London Symphony Orchestra and two biopics respectively about Brian Epstein and Jean Charles De Menezes.

    Sawhney has been a regular Dj with London club “Fabric”, performed around the world with leading orchestras and his band, composed extensively for renowned dancer, Akram Khan, gaining best composition award from New York for his music for “Zero degrees”, and has composed for many theatrical productions including Olivier award winning work from Complicite’s “A Disappearing number”.

    His career spans production and composition work with Sting, Cirque Du Soleil, Shakira, Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, Taio Cruz, Imogen Heap, Anoushka Shankar and many others. Recently he has also scored for videogames, including Sony Playstation’s number one game, “Heavenly Sword” and its sequel “Enslaved”. As the recipient of four Honorary doctorates from separate universities, fellowships from LIPA and Southbank University and considerable critical acclaim he also acts as a patron to many educational establishments, is now a judge for The Ivor Novello Awards, BAFTA, BIFA and sits on the board of trustees for London’s Whitechapel Gallery and Somerset House.

    Currently Nitin is working on his new album ‘The Last Days Of Meaning’, due for release in May 2011, which will launch at the Royal Albert Hall. Click here for more information about the event.

    This is the first piece by Nitin that I heard, and have been hooked ever since =)

    I assuming it's from his "Homelands" album



    it seems like people either really appreciate his work or blame him for ruining an original piece of music...
