Shimla musician’s work shines at Melbourne Film Festival

Tejaswi Lohumi has created a unique soundscape that mirrors the cultural and environmental fabric of the Himalayas. He has used some unconventional instruments like the didgeridoo, handpan, kalimba, and djembe along with traditional ones such as the cello, flute, guitar, and nagada to good effect, providing the music the film needed to portray the darker side of life in the hills. It effectively complements the visual narrative.
