Have you noticed how Indian independent music has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade? If you have, have you also noticed how there are only a precious few publications in this country that document this rise in print? Congratulations on holding one (and check out mid-day’s e-paper as well). But now, there’s another print platform. A Humming Heart (AHH), a Delhi-based initiative that has been tracking under-the-radar musicians online, has launched a print magazine that is dedicated to the cause of giving those same artistes a leg-up.

They need it, the artistes. Music media in India is so centred on mainstream commercial music that people like bedroom-music producers live in the shadows. This magazine is one step forward in giving them the recognition that they deserve.
