Half-way through our conversation about the secrets of collaboration in music, composer Dhruv Ghanekar drops a line that sticks. “I remember a phrase from Quincy Jones,” he says, “When you create music, you have to leave enough space for God to walk in.” His latest album, Voyage 2 that released yesterday under his label Wah Wah Records, and features a veritable who’s who of artistes from Ila Arun, Gino Banks, Abhay Nayampally to bassist Tim Lefebvre, trumpeter Sam Dechenne, and saxophonist Artur Grigoryan, among others.
The album is a follow-up to Voyage (2015). It has been in the works for almost a decade, he admits. “Unfortunately, in this city, commissioned work takes precedence over passion projects. It was always on the table, but I lacked the time,” the Mumbai-based composer says. Over the last six months, he has been working furiously to compile the albums, bringing together the collaborations over a collection of 10 songs.
