MUMBAI: Award winning composer Vikas Kohli has scored with a live orchestra for a Korean film â€?Wild Goose Daddy’. The film will screen on 8 February at the Royal Theatre in Toronto.
Kohli who has produced music for Bollywood films, documentaries and art films, scored the music with 28 classically trained musicians at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto.
Kohli said, It’s mighty cool to hear an orchestra record something I’ve written. Thanks to the Screen Composers Guild of Canada for making this happen with the Canadian Film Centre and the Glenn Gould School. The director, Samuel, had a clear vision of what we needed to do to support the film and it was great to draw upon fellow composers Christian Floisand, Tristan Capacchione and Darren Fung to get the end result and also have Josh Tidsbury doing the beautiful surround mix….
Vikas Kohli known for his expertise at fusing together genres as varied as punk, hip-hop and Bollywood pop, is the first composer to receive the Voice Achievers Award and Trailblazer Award at ReelWorld Film Festival. He has also received a MARTY award from the Mississauga Arts Council.
Directed by filmmaker Samuel Kiehoon Lee, â€?Wild Goose Daddy’ is an action-comedy film about a middle-aged Korean gangster who has to team up with a young drag queen in order to find his missing daughter in Toronto.
