Charanjit Singh (musician)
Charanjit Singh (1940 – 5 July 2015) was an Indian musician from Mumbai, who performed as a session musician,〔 often as a guitarist or synthesizer player, in numerous Bollywood soundtrack orchestras from the 1960s to 1980s,〔 working with ''filmi'' composers such as Shankar-Jaikishan, R.D. Burman (Rahul Dev Burman), S.D. Burman, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Singh led a wedding band and recorded and released a number of albums covering popular film songs. These were a form of instrumental elevator music, some of which have since been re-released by Sublime Frequencies,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Sublime Frequencies )〕 such as his steel guitar renditions of "Manje Re" from ''Bandhe Haath'' in 1973 and "Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne" from ''Yaadon Ki Baaraat'' in 1975. In 1981, he produced synthesizer-based electronic renditions of the ''Silsila'' soundtrack in his record ''Charanjit Singh: Plays Hit Tunes on Synthesizer of Silsila''.〔
''Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat'', an album of original electronic disco compositions Singh recorded in 1982, was a commercial failure at the time of its original release, but its re-discovery in 2002 and re-issue in early 2010 garnered attention due to its resemblance to music from the acid house genre of the late 1980s. Since then, certain commentators in the music press have recast Singh as an originator of acid house music.〔〔 He also used the same drum machine and synthesizers for his experimental electronic calypso record, ''Experiments in Calypso''. His son Raju Singh is a composer, who has scored for films and television shows.〔
Charanjit Singh died of cardiac arrest in his sleep during the intervening night of 4 and 5 July 2015 at his home in Bandra, Mumbai.〔http://www.huffingtonpost.in/suprateek-chatterjee/rip-charanjit-singh-the-m_b_7750646.html?1436343715〕
==''Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat''==
In the 21st century, Charanjit Singh gained attention for his 1982 release ''Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat'', an album originally intended as a fusion of electronic disco music with Indian classical ragas. Singh's use of both the TR-808 drum machine and TB-303 bass synthesizer has led some music journalists to suggest that it is perhaps the earliest example of acid house music; predating Phuture's seminal Chicago acid house record "Acid Tracks" (1987) by five years.〔〔 Comparisons have also been made with the work of other electronic dance musicians who were inspired by acid house such as Ceephax, Phuture 303, and Aphex Twin. According to ''The Guardian'' writer Stuart Aitken, Singh's record was "far ahead" of its time.〔 Aitken also discussed the importance of the record on US radio station PRI's The World.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indian Origins of American Acid House )〕
