Classical Indian musicians make the 'Harry Potter' soundtrack sound new again
If you thought Harry Potter was done giving you emotional meltdowns, you should be tired of being wrong by now. Case in point: The Indian Jam Project has released a classical Indian rendition of musical themes from John Williams’ original scores.
The instrumentation features keyboards and violin, as well as sarangi, santoor, and the Indian flute. The resulting arrangement creates a totally new sound that’s every bit as breathtaking as the original. It also happens to be beautifully filmed.
The Indian Jam Project is a Mumbai-based group of musicians in their early 20s. They regularly cover scores from the screen, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Interstellar, Game of Thrones, and BBC’s Sherlock — which was recognized and shared on Twitter by composer Michael Price and series co-creator Mark Gatiss.
