He claims to be inspired by Bollywood composer A.
Khanvict’s soundtracks are replete with strong elements of fantasy with skilful percussion and deep bass harmonised. The song packs a punch, in more ways than one. Released on March 26 under the Snakes x Ladders label, ‘Closer’ uses traditional Punjabi lyrics called ‘boliyan’, with a distinct Electronica and EDM sound. Seema Hari was the perfect fit for the lead role, as an anti-colorism and anti-caste activist herself. Additionally, she has written and filmed extensively for Nature, Reuters, the CBC News, the BBC, and NPR. Her feature films have premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and Toronto's Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, before being picked up by the likes of Amazon and Netflix. She is known to have advocated various important issues throughout her career, including environment protection and the importance of human rights. The video directed by Nayar is a stark visual interpretation of anger and unrest. This song is our allegiance to the common cause.”
Although this film digs deep into our South Asian heritage, there are many similarities between the Indian caste system, often equated with colour, and the current issues in the Americas. Nayar, the Director of the music video says, “this film was made in quarantine by brown people and their allies, as a creative outlet and expression of hope for a better and more equitable future, where people are not judged based on who they are, who they love and how they pray. The frustration of these three talented artists, is palpable through the visuals of the music video, which recreates goddess Kali’s triumph over evil. Mostly made during quarantine, the song calls for action against the systemic racism that people of colour face – especially those that descend from South Asian nations. The song is a collaboration with other artists of South Asian descent – model and activist Seema Hari and renowned filmmaker Anjali Nayar, who has directed an arresting video to accompany the single. The latest song to express this rage, directed especially at the existing socio-political system around the world, is ‘Closer’ produced by Surrey-based Music Producer Khanvict aka Asad Khan. Words are often limiting in their scope, but sound and visuals effectively get the message across.
