"Shakti Sahita Ganapathim" is a Sanskrit phrase composed by Muthuswami Dikshitar that likely refers to Lord Ganesha, who is considered to be the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings, in the presence of the divine energy (Shakti).

"Shakti Sahita Ganapathim" has been reimagined as an energetic dance number that seamlessly blends symphonic and orchestral elements with contemporary beats. The strings section sets the foundation for the track with its lush harmonies, while the flute adds a touch of ethereal beauty. The use of foxtrot beats elevates the energy of the piece, making it perfect for the dance floor. This remix showcases the versatility of classical instruments and how they can be seamlessly integrated into contemporary music to create a unique and captivating sound. In addition, I have included a original composition piece of my own in the track, demonstrating the musical prowess and creativity.

The dynamic climax of "Shakti Sahita Ganapathim" is sure to leave a lasting impression on listeners. The track builds momentum as the tempo increases three times, culminating in a high-energy finale that showcases the full range of the orchestral and symphonic instruments. The use of strings, flute, and foxtrot beats come together in perfect harmony to create a thrilling musical experience. The original composition seamlessly integrates into the track, adding an extra layer of artistic expression and personal touch. This finale is sure to captivate audiences and get them moving on the dance floor. With its powerful energy, dynamic climax, and artistic vision, this remix of "Shakti Sahita Ganapathim" should be true masterpiece of contemporary orchestral music, i believe.

Shakti Sahita Ganapathim - Orchestral Version by Advaith A

"Sorgame Endralum" is a popular Tamil song from the 1990 Tamil film "Ooru Vittu Ooru Vanthu". The song is a romantic duet, sung by Ilaiyaraaja  and S. Janaki, with music composed by Ilaiyaraaja himself in Hamsanadam Raagam. and lyrics written by Gangai Amaran.

The lyrics of the song suggest that while Singapore may have modern amenities and a cosmopolitan lifestyle, it lacks the cultural richness and natural beauty of the native place. The lyrics describe the lush green forests, sparkling rivers, and majestic mountains of their homeland, which are contrasted with the urban landscape and artificial lights of Singapore.

The song also celebrates the traditions and cultural heritage of the homeland, suggesting that it is an integral part of their identity and sense of belonging. The lyrics suggest that while the singer may be living far away from their homeland, their love for their culture and traditions remains unchanged.

The theme of nostalgia and longing for one's homeland is a common theme in many Tamil songs and movies, especially those that are focused on the experiences of Tamil immigrants living in foreign lands.

The music is soothing and melodious, with a blend of traditional Indian and Western instruments.

"Sorgame Endralum" is a classic love song that has remained popular among Tamil audiences even after several decades since its release.

"This classic Tamil love song has recently been reimagined with a Western instrumental fusion touch, featuring a duet of violin and guitar as the lead instruments, creating a unique and refreshing take on the original melody." 

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of fusing traditional Indian music with Western instruments and styles, resulting in a range of new sounds and genres. This fusion of different musical styles and instruments can create a unique sound that appeals to a broader audience, while also preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of the original music.

Overall, the work on "Sorgame Endralum" with a Western instrumental fusion touch mix duet with violin and guitar as the lead is an exciting and innovative interpretation of the classic Tamil song, and has the potential to reach a wider audience while also paying tribute to the song's traditional roots.

I have got an opportunity to create an instrumental version of Sri Varalakshmi Namastubhyam in a world fusion style. The track features the Duruan instrument and is composed by the renowned composer Muthuswami Dikshitar.

Sri Varalakshmi Namastubhyam is a hymn dedicated to the goddess Sri Lakshmi, who is considered the deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune in Hindu mythology. The composition is widely popular among Carnatic music enthusiasts and is often performed during the auspicious occasion of Varalakshmi Vratam.

My instrumental rendition of Sri Varalakshmi Namastubhyam in world fusion style features the Duruan instrument, which is a stringed instrument similar to the lute. The Duruan adds a unique and distinct flavor to the composition. My interpretation of the composition in the world fusion style is a refreshing take on the traditional hymn, showcasing my creativity and skill as a musician.

Muthuswami Dikshitar's composition is known for its intricate melody and complex rhythm, and i believe my instrumental rendition does justice to the original composition. The world fusion style of the track adds a contemporary twist to the traditional Carnatic music, making it appealing to a wider audience.

Overall, this instrumental rendition of Sri Varalakshmi Namastubhyam in world fusion style is a beautiful amalgamation of tradition and innovation. The use of the Duruan instrument and the interpretation of the my composition showcased my versatility and creativity as a musician.

Salutations to Varalakshmi, the giver of good fortune, whose graceful lotus feet carry her with elegance at every step. I pray for her protection. She is dear to Vishnu, the father of Cupid, and radiates like molten gold, shining with the brilliance of a million suns. Varalakshmi is easily accessible to devotees and safeguards those who are devoted to her. Her adornments include a lotus garland, and she is the embodiment of virtue, reveling in the heart of Krishna (KEshava).

On the Friday preceding the full moon of Shravan (August-September), Suvaasinis worship Varalakshmi, and she wears a gemstone garland gifted by Guruguha and celestial beings. Expert in shielding the suffering, she is akin to a golden shower and a discerning patron of emotions, worshipped by Saraswati. Varalakshmi grants liberation (mOksha) and bestows desired blessings.

Silent Spring Theme Music
Music Composer:  Advaith A  @advaithmusic

The single tear rolling down a cheek carries a heavy burden, symbolizing the damage inflicted upon our planet by pollution, animal cruelty, and deforestation. The tear reveals a glimpse of the past beauty that we must strive to protect. We have the power to make a positive change and safeguard our environment and its inhabitants.

As we approach Earth Day, it is an opportune time to reflect on our impact on the planet and commit to taking action. Earth Day is a global event celebrated annually on April 22nd, to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote actions to protect our planet. This year's Earth Day theme is "Restore Our Earth," emphasizing the urgent need to address climate change and restore ecosystems that have been damaged or destroyed.

In the spirit of Earth Day, my new instrumental composition, "Silent Spring," embodies the essence of this message through its haunting melody and somber tones. Just as the tear represents the weight of the world, "Silent Spring" reflects the absence of the beauty and vitality that once flourished in our environment. Through this musical piece, I hope to inspire reflection, action, and a renewed commitment to restoring our planet to its former glory.
