Relish in Japanese Musical Fantasy as One Composer and Musician, David Kerrison, Delivers a Journey Through Time, Space, and Nature in his Album “Udoor”
David Ainslie Kerrison is a composer and musician who was born in the UK. He has been able to lead a career spanning several years of success with so many accolades and recognition for his efforts—he has scored music for several films as well as written music for TV and commercials. This is alongside the countless sold-out gigs and events he has under his belt. A virtuosic experimental musician who likes his adventures over the polyphonic analog synths, he has developed a penchant for blending lighting cello and guitar runs with unique rhythms to provide an electrifying combination of the original sound.
David explains his style of play as fusing a plethora of styles together simultaneously without worrying about what particular rules go with each style. I think this is a perfect case scenario of the ends justifying the means, according to Kerrison: music has its own sense of direction that allows it to take its listeners where they should be, as opposed to where they want to be.
“Udoor” is a 13-piece musical collection featuring some of the most impeccably realized and composed pieces I have listened to in a long time. While I am no virtuoso to this kind of traditional sound, I did acknowledge the precision and technique that went into this, especially after reading the miracle David pulled off to make this a success all by himself—don’t forget that he was performing at a sold-out Japanese shrine that was located next to the sea.
This kind of performance involved a seamless blend of traditional Japanese instruments with western instruments, with perfect synchronization between musicians, dancers and lighting. To say that David pulled a miracle to deliver to near perfection actually feels like an understatement. I don’t know how he managed to pull this off, but the fact that he did is such an impressive milestone that affirms his indisputable artisanship.
“Udoor” is up there as the impeccable distillation of ingenious artistry with a universally appealing blend of Japanese and western instruments to achieve a desired taste that reaches the core of emotional satisfaction. I’ll skip the nitty-gritty details about the orchestra between the cellos and violas and how, due to the huge size of the venue, he had to allow the keyboards to play two parts simultaneously ( I know, it’s just rocket science to us who have never stepped foot in a music school!)
It was also impressive how he was able to harness the natural sounds of the cave and sea and integrate them into his performance, and like the maestro he is, he was able to unbelievably capture that experience of the sea gradually entering the cave, which was mind-blowing for everyone in this show!
To the tracks themselves, quite a number did tickle my fantasy and hit me emotionally in a way even words can’t. My favorites from this whole collection are “Entrance,”, “Behind the Door”, “Heartache” “The Gift”, “Ripple Effect”, “Synchronicity II” and “Inner Voice”.
I mean, it’s just magical how an impressive blend of traditional and modern melodies and rhythms can have such an indescribably sublime effect on a listener even without the lyrics. Kerrison creates a collection whose beauty and charm really defy the imagination and takes a listener through quite a meditative journey through time, space, and nature!
With that in mind, I believe it’s long past time that you got acquainted with this surreal listening experience for your own benefit; just remember that this type of music is less heard and more experienced—savor every sip off of its delicacy!

So far, Yash Raj Suneja’s accomplishments as a hitmaker have been extraordinary. Just to scratch the surface, this mega Indian producer has been able to handle that mainstream stardom with admirable virtuosity, balancing records, stage shows, films, music videos, and other multimedia projects, alongside charitable activities.
Once again, Yash reaffirms his status as a prodigious talent, forward-thinking producer, and influential global superstar with his latest jam, “I Love You”- a masterclass in romantic Indian music that hits you with warmly familiar feelings of love and intimacy.
“I Love You” is a standout jam from start to finish and is really the result of first-rate production. This track will surely dominate the charts thanks to how incredible it is, both in grandiosity and scope. Yash really outdid himself with this one, which feels like a next-level project even for a megastar like him.
“I Love You” was actually produced by Shiva Music’s parent company, Shivamadhur Digital Private Limited, and features the phenomenally gifted Manvir Nayak on the vocals, with the music video acted by the equally incredible actor Alok Raj and the strikingly beautiful actress Bipasha Das. The cameraman and editor is Akash Lohra, who does an incredible job of blending those professional scenes together to come up with an eye-catching music video.
On a production level, “I Love You” captures the essence of romance and that Indian culture with gracious precision thanks to the stunning and catchy beats concocted from the sitar, sarod, tambura, sarangi, and the guitar. The saxophone adds depth and sonic elegance to the arrangement and elevates the song to greater heights.
This performance deeply resonates with the listener, and watching it with that accompanying music video is even more fulfilling; it’s like watching an intriguing love-inspired Bollywood film as the actors grab your attention from start to finish.
This is the anthem for love that gives you goosebumps and makes your heart skip a beat, and as Yash tears through the beats, he reminds anyone listening in of his consistent ear for pristine beats and knack for the commercial.
“I Love You” is an incredibly produced and immaculately arranged song; Yash set the stage for which the amazing singer Manvir skates, and the result of that is this addicting song that will remain in your head long after it is gone!
The music video is equally stunning as the track itself and the perfect complement to this song, both in storyline and symbolism.
Yash and his Shiva Music are breaking new ground every day as they sell the Indian culture to the world and invite more people to share in their richly eclectic heritage, where good music and great people reside.
“I Love You” is a worthy addition to any playlist, which is why I highly recommend this track.
