The Sound of the Hills: Scoring River Songs

Composer Lena Debbarma on recording an album live across three Northeastern states.

Borok TV was built to give Northeast India a stage of its own, and every story we publish here comes from that work — the shoots, the studios, the festivals and the people who make them happen.

The background

Getting a project like this off the ground takes months of groundwork: scouting locations across difficult terrain, assembling crews who know the region, and clearing the music and archive footage that give it texture.

What it took

Production ran across several states, with a small crew working around the weather. The result is something that could not have been made anywhere else, and that is exactly the point.
