Working with Gerard Alís has been a pleasure. He is a perfectionist and a very constructive person. In order to design the “Melting Pot” documentary’s soundtrack, Gerard took as a starting point a thorough investigation of Indian music and of melodies performed by instruments like the Shehnai, so to create a unique melody that blended the melodies surrounding Human Towers. He achieved a musical dialogue around the meeting of Catalan and Indian cultures.
