How has it been to work for tinsel town?
RAHUL: Thankfully, the filmmakers we’ve worked with aren’t typical Bollywood fare. Anurag Kashyap (for whom we did Black Friday and a song for Mumbai Cutting), Arindam Mitra (for whose film Shoonya we have done a track), Jaideep Verma (a song for his Halla) and Avik Mukhopadhyay (all the tracks of his Bhoomi) are all very cool guys and have given us a lot of freedom. So far, we are getting the space to make the songs of the length we want. But there may come a time when the pressures of the market curb our freedom. We don’t make music for others, we make it for ourselves.

Have you been approached by a biggie?
RAHUL: Our music is not the kind that a Subhash Ghai or a David Dhawan would approach us. We were approached by another very big name though for composing the background score of one of his films but we refused. We have nothing against doing background music. Roja’s background score by AR Rahman was great. Mani Ratnam knows where to use music and where not.
AMIT: We are in talks with Anusha Rizvi, whose film may be produced by Aamir Khan. It’s too early to talk about it though.  

Wikipedia says Indian Ocean does“Indo-rock fusion with jazz-spiced rhythms that integrate shlokas, sufism, environmentalism, mythology and revolution”.
SUSMIT: I never knew we were so complicated. We are just Indian Ocean. If we define ourselves, that’ll limit us.
