H.
Sridhar, a popular Sound Engineer who has been involved in over a
thousand songs passed away this morning at around 8 am due to a massive
heart attack. The Sound Engineer had been part of A. R. Rahman's team
right from the onset. He was 50.
Having been closely associated with director's Mani
Ratnam, K. Balachander, Bharathiraaja, Shankar, Kamal Haasan, P. C.
Sreeram, Priyadarshan and Ramgopal Varma, H. Sridhar was a towering
icon when it came to mixing music.
H. Sridhar was the recipient of the prestigious
President's Gold Medal (National Award for best Audiography) four times
for the films 'Mahanadhi', 'Dil Se', 'Lagaan' and 'Kannathil
Muthamilttal'.
Sridhar was so talented and was sought after by the
likes of George Harrision (a member of the famous Beatles), Pandit Ravi
Shankar, Zakir Hussain and John McLaughlin to mix music for their
albums.
This true talent will surely be missed by the music fraternity.
Indiaglitz condoles the passing away of H. Sridhar. May his soul rest in peace.
