The Dewarists is a new, 10-part television series that premieres October 16 at 8pm on Star World. The show features collaborations between artists of different genres, shot at locations across India. Each episode will centre around the creation of an original track by the combination of musicians, and will culminate in the performance of the new composition.

The series has been directed by acclaimed ad-filmmaker and Scribe frontman Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy. The U.K.-
based, DOP-director duo of Fred&Nick co-directed the series, which was produced by the good peeps at Babble Fish
Productions. The duo was recently nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Mumford & Sons’s video for ‘The
Cave’, which was shot in Goa last year.

The lineup for the first five episodes has been released on the official website, and features indie music stalwarts like Indian Ocean, Imogen Heap and Zeb & Haniya, as well as veteran Bollywood artists like Vishal-Shekhar, Mohit Chauhan and Shantanu Moitra. The second half of the series will (unsurpisingly) feature several names that feature on the lineup of The Dewarists Stage at the Bacardi NH7 Weekender. Monica Dogra (aka Shaa’ir of Shaa’ir + Func) will play the role of an informal host in the series, aside from featuring in one of the collaborations.
