Modi! Modi!

Pro-Modi rally reimagined by Odette Museleon.

"After reading articles about Mr Modi and about this area of Delhi, I thought to create a totally imaginary Indian street scene, which combined some sounds associated with Indian cities and the use of the exuberant and joyful soundfile, to create a pro Modi demonstration passing through. I sourced other field recordings via creative commons including birds, crows, a flute seller, Delhi and Calcuttan street traffic, and the sound of the Kali Bells from a temple. On researching Mr Modi, I found that he had two favourite films, one is Guide (1965) and the other is Jai Chittor (1961). I sourced a track from this film – “O pawan veg se udanewale ghode - Lata - Jai Chitod” (https://youtu.be/FOD6wEbl_YI ) from an Indian Bollywood movie soundtrack site and used it as if playing from one of the small shops, that I imagined I was standing outside of.
