Another one from my Vault....!!!
This was a very coincidental production as i was recording the singer Deepthi for a jingle.
Apparently she was having a bad day and her throat was givin a traffic block.
I told her to start singing some alaaps and this traditional krithi...
Somehow the RECORD was ON and i ended up gettin a rough track with bunch of clicks n pops.I eventually ended up producing this track just for fun.This was done in 2005 if im not wrong.Hope you will enjoy this very old production of mine...

SHREE JAGANNATH ASHTAKAM

SINGER : PRAHER VORA

COMPOSSED BY : SHISHIR BHATT



JAGANNATH ASHTAKAM

VATHAPI

This is one of the most popular invocations on Swami Ganesha set in the raagam Naattai, a very pleasing and chirpy raagam, almost considered a standard in many if not all classical concerts.

The one by Bombay Jayashree in the movie is a little short… so I rearranged the track a little, and added my own stuff to it. And, for the first time- have done harmonies in a totally classical composition and introduced a mild western influence here and there.


Krithi: Mahaaganapathim
Raagam: Naattai
Thaalam: Adi 
Original composer: Sri Muthuswami Dikshithar
Movie: Morning Raaga
Lead, Backing vocals, Harmonies and Mix by: Meera Manohar

There’s also a short explanation of the lyrics that I found somewhere. Makes an interesting read:

Pallavi:
Mahaganapathim Manasa Smaraami
Vashista Vaamadevaadhi Vandhitha

Anupallavi/Charanam:
Mahadevasutham Guruguhanutham
Maarakoti Prakaasham Shaantham
Madhyamakala Sahithyam:
Mahakaavya Naatakadhi priyam
Mooshika vaahana modhaka priyam

Swaram:
P P M G M R S 
R S N S P M G M
P , D N *S *R *G *M 
*M *R *S N *S N P M
*S N P M G M 
N P M R G M R R S 
*R , *S *S , N P , M G , M N S G M

Pallavi:
Dikshithar starts off with a very small pallavi singing “I medidate and recite(‘Smaraami’) with my whole heart(‘Manasa’) on the supreme Lord Ganapathy, he who is worshipped by(‘Vandhitha’) sage Vashista, Vaamadeva and others(‘aadhi’)”. Very simple but extremely open-ended for improvisation and I have heard so many different versions of the pallavi alone which once again is because of the flexibility characteristic of all dikshithar krithis. The entire scale and important phrases of the raga are brilliantly captured in the opening lines itself. Moving on to the samaashti charanam now

Anupallavi/Charanam:
Dikshithar continues describing Lord Ganesha as “He is the son(‘sutham’) of Lord Mahadeva, adored(‘nutham’) by Guruguha. He shines(‘Prakaasham’) like crores(‘koti’) of cupids(‘maara’) put together. He is the peaceful one(‘Shaantham’) and loves(‘priyam’) literary epics(‘Mahakaavya’) and other arts like Drama(‘Naataka’). He uses a mouse(‘mooshika’) as his vehicle(‘vaahana’) and loves modhakam(a popular sweet).” Not much to explain in the charanam except for the beautiful inclusion of the raga mudhra ingeniously incorporated in the word ‘Naataka’ referring to drama. On the whole, a simple composition.(With all due respect to Lord Ganesha), maybe Dikshithar composed this while he was asleep or something :). The characteristic ‘Sa Ri3’ phrase embellishes this composition.

Electronic music meets Carnatic music

Listen and be amazed as the silky flute and the slick synthesizer entwine to take you to a world beyond...

My first collaboration with the incredibly talented flutist, http://soundcloud.com/indian_music_fan

Hindolam makes a move [ft. IndianMusicFan]

"Iravin Parithavippu" or "Angst of the Night" is a rather upbeat song I had once composed: http://soundcloud.com/shivsu/iravin-parithavippu

This is a revisit together with http://soundcloud.com/Indian_Music_Fan who has, quite literally, breathed a new life to this song, playing motifs he has specially made for this song on his bass and tenor flutes in addition to a slick cello track.

And I, behind my Yamaha MO6 workstation, have made the rest of the arrangement.
