Indian rock band Swarathma opens up on connection with Pink Floyd

Indian Folk-fusion band, Swarathma, which is set to perform at the upcoming edition of the rock music festival Independence Rock, has shared its connection with the legendary English progressive rock band Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd, which started as a British psychedelic group, is regarded as one of the greatest bands of all time with its distinctive style of extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows.
Its lead guitarist, David Gilmour is known for iconic riffs including the one for Comfortably Numb and High Hopes.
Talking about their connection with Pink Floyd, Jishnu Dasgupta, the bassist and vocalist of Swarathma said: “A few years ago, we worked with legendary producer John Leckie (Muse, Radiohead, Kula Shaker, My Morning Jacket) on the British Council sponsored Soundpad project. Now back in the 1970s, he was a tape operator on Pink Floyd’s Meddle album.”
Commenting on a prospective collaboration with Pink Floyd as wishful thinking, Jishnu Dasgupta shared: “So, a chance to collaborate with the greats (Gilmour, Waters, Mason, et al), even individually would be a delight, and a ‘pinch me’ moment.” (IANS)
