Former guitarist and founding member of India's longest running band - 'Indian Ocean' is all set to release his album 39Ocean To Ocean39. He talks about his new band 'Susmit Sen Chronicles' and his track - Bongingon, which has created a buzz in the indie scene. Here are excerpts from the interview with iconic musician Susmit Sen..Q It has been a year since you parted ways with Indian Ocean, how's it been?The journey continues no matter what. Lately, I have been working with talented new artists which has made my journey interesting so far. The fact that we are releasing an album in such a short time is indeed very heartening and looking forward to a great response. Hence, it has been a great journey since Indian Ocean and I am looking forward to it.Q Why did you wait till 2013, to part ways with one of the oldest bands of India and continue on your own?There has to be a perfect time to take any appropriate step, it could be 2013, 2011 or probably even later, but everything falls into place at a particular time/date and that's when a decision is taken. Q How did you decide which musicians will be a part of 'Susmit Sen Chronicles'?Each musician has his own story as to how they came about and joined the band. The most important thing in choosing any artist for a band is the person himself because, they can be brilliant musicians but if you do not vibe well with them on a personal level, it gets difficult to continue in a band. Therefore, 39compatibility39 was the biggest criteria for me. Then ofcourse, the talent and their musical knowledge also played the role. Each of them are extremely talented and together they brought a different kind of energy into the band which helped us gel very beautifully.Q Can you shed some light on "Ocean To Ocean"The album does not have any theme in particular and comprises of 7 tracks. We have collaborated with international musicians for two songs. Accordion Maestro Orosz Zoltan from Hungary has collaborated for 39Bongingon39. The song 39Ocean To Ocean' features guitarist Bernie Marsden.
