ONE of the world’s leading music production companies has brought together top musicians from Thailand and the UK to compose a series of unique tracks dedicated to His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn on the occasion of his Coronation on May 4-6, 2019.
 
This collaboration sees West One Music Group providing nine tracks from its library of more than 50,000 songs, with Thai musicians led by Somnuek Saeng-arun adding traditional instruments like the khim, flute, ranad and drum to create beautiful compositions with a distinctive Thai character. Other participating musicians were Prasarn Wongwirosuk and Lerkiat Mahavinichaimontri.
 
All nine of these special edition tracks will be donated free of charge to TV channels in Thailand for use in programmes televising the Coronation.

The recordings took place in Thailand last month at the Karma Sound Studios in Bang Saray West One Music’s co-founder Richard Harvey oversaw the musical sessions and the new arrangements. He was assisted by the group’s technical director Chris Brown who worked on the project from the company headquarters in London.
 
“The aim of this collaboration is provide Thai television stations with world-class music to accompany programmes about the Coronation. There is absolutely zero cost for their use in covering this wonderful event,” explained Mr Harvey.
The idea of a musical collaboration  originally came the Mass Communications Organization of Thailand (MCOT), one of West One Music’s major clients in the kingdom.
 
“They inquired whether we were planning anything special to commemorate the Coronation,” explained Ms Rossarin Sawasdiraksa, West One Music’s PR and Marketing Manager in Thailand. “Our team came up with the idea of inviting Thai musicians to add their musical talents and instruments to some of the best music from our library.
 
“The result is a magnificent collection of Western-Thai music that we believe befits this unique occasion which means so much to the Thai people.
 
“We are extremely proud and honoured to be part of this very special event,” added Ms Rossarin.
