Tarana Marwah, known in the music world as Komorebi, says she wishes to create art with a legacy. For her, this desire translates into drawing from her love for Japan, and adding to the indie cultural fabric of India. Her moniker — Komorebi, which means "sunlight that filters through tree leaves" - is just the tip of her obsession with the Orient. "I grew up watching anime, and was fascinated by their soundtracks. It was back then that I decided that I wanted to make a soundtrack. That continues to be my big ambition, to be a film scorer. The music I make right now is only an attempt to incorporate my influences into an album," says the 23-year-old trained vocalist and piano player, who spent her childhood in Canada and returned to Delhi in 2000.
