Charanjit Singh (1940 – 5 July 2015) was an Indian musician from Mumbai, who performed as a session musician,[3] often as a guitarist or synthesizer player,[4] in numerous Bollywood soundtrack orchestras from the 1960s to 1980s,[3] working with filmi composers such as Shankar-Jaikishan, R.D. Burman, S.D. Burman, and Laxmikant–Pyarelal.[5]
In the 21st century, Singh became known for his 1983 album Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat following retrospective associations with acid house, both of which prominently feature the Roland TB-303.[3] It received re-release in 2010 on the Bombay Connection label.[6]
