This film cue was recorded by the European Recording Orchestra in Sofia, Bulgaria, on July 20th, 2024. The animation is from "Говорящие руки Траванкора" ("The Talking Hands of Travancore"), a Soviet short film from 1981 directed by Vladimir Pekar. The film is about the origins of Kathakali, a Southern Indian classical dance form dedicated to telling stories from Hindu mythology. I would like to thank the Film Scoring Academy of Europe for their help in facilitating this recording. Conductor: Nikola Petrov Sound Engineer: Vladislav Boyadjiev Composer: Akshay S.
