Padayatra

As soon as we played this song in the jam room, we knew we had landed on something extremely powerful, and very different from our usual sound at that. IndoSoul is a journey of discover for us and it was amazing to see how the raga Shanmugapriya transformed magically with powerful guitar riff. Along with the tribal drums and bass grooves, the song gets a distinctive metal feeling!

IndoSoul
The Indian civilization has stood the test of time, welcoming and absorbing numerous cultures along the way. It has reinvented itself with every addition, but never lost its depth. In a similar vein, IndoSoul goes beyond the confines of genre, seeks out and welcomes other musical influences, while retaining its core identity of Indianness. It breaks down superficial barriers between genres, instruments, cultures, languages to bring out deep commonalities that define great music everywhere.

Boundless - IndoSoul by Karthick Iyer Live

Mid-Air started off as a random tune in raga Harikambodhi in my head while on a flight from Auckland to Queenstown during my honeymoon. I recorded this tune onto my iphone and sent to the band. When we met a month later in Chennai, the song started to take shape. The song features an interesting interchange between the guitar and violin supported by a powerful groove reminiscent of a 60s or 70s classic rock song with a carnatic twist!

Mid-Air - IndoSoul by Karthick Iyer Live

As a grand finale to this album, IndoSoul, Karthick Iyer Live presents ‘Rejoicing in Raghuvamsa’, ending it where it all started. Composed by Patnam Subramania Iyer, Raghuvamsa Sudha is one of the happiest carnatic songs. This is a classic violin piece in Raga Kadhanakudhukalam, and serves as a conclusion in carnatic concerts. This high energy piece is as much fun to perform for the musicians in the band, as it is for the listeners in the audience.

AVIAL SUPRABATHAKALI - MALAYALAM ROCK SONG

Who ruffles feathers and gets excited when the dark clouds gather rain?

Who is he that plays the flute when the skies swell and threaten to burst? If you will, whoever you are, always remember that vanity is futile
So go take a hike

Sailing out in the stormy seas, there are only a few that brave the elements

But who joins the lowly fisherman to cast his net? And who joins me when reeds are chopped to build a nest? Who gets to share the nectar filled up in a bamboo shoot? When grains are ready, swaying in the fields, who would be my sickle to harvest it? 

Come along

Let’s watch tribals dance, let’s join in their rhythm and song

Bravely walk across to a place where wild beasts roam to watch a kingfisher perched on the horns of an antelope

Come hike the jungle-path

Let’s build a tree house hidden from the world and sing and dance behind creeper curtains…`

In the backdrop of dark clouds threatening to burst into rain, the idol of the Goddess arrives on a caparisoned tusker. The skies rumble ~ “Thimi thimi takkam thei thei” ~ for she who is worshiped in the Malayalam month of Karkidaga (during monsoon time between mid-July and mid-August). Ladles of rainwater pour down into the temple courtyard and the sky lights up in the colours of the rainbow. The dance of the peacock reminds one of locks of hair set free…the clouds fill-up, dissolve, drip and float away.

Karukara

Chekele describes the plight of an agrarian couple Chathan and Neeli.

The farmer and his wife awoke before dawn and arrived at the thambran’s (landlord) house to mark their attendance before working the fields. At the paddy field, they find the crop destroyed due to flooding. Chathan, worried about his next meal, wonders if he could get a simple porridge at dusk. “Madathilendunde kachikudikkan aiye Andekadi ke daathi” (is there anything at home that can be boiled and drunk for dinner, my dear? He asks). A failed crop, is a failed year…when the harvest festival of Kerala ~ Onam ~ comes, this year, the couple will be unable to participate in the ritual of giving handsel, a token gift of food and grains to the landlord.

The farmer’s predicament takes him and his wife into the forest for sustenance. The last-remaining sweet-tasting food they brought along for the journey has attracted ants and the cane basket that they carried their belongings in has come undone…

But despite being unlucky, the journey into the forest gives the couple a chance to be alone; never losing sight of each other they climb many hills, hastily.


Chekele

Sometimes one relates to happiness in brief illusory moments but the search for bliss is never ending…

The twinkling stars flicker ~ little oil lamps in the sky that I see from the ground below. The blue-gray sky, the wind, it speaks to me again and all seems clear
I trudge across hills hoping to reach someplace
I look back only to realise that I am back to where I began

Like a beach looking for a wave
My search has taken me across oceans deep and wide
The night has fallen and the tide has risen
Now the seashore is enveloped in a warm embrace

Waves crash the shore like pounding arteries in my head
It’s daybreak again and along with sunrise comes a renewed hope that all is within reach…

The slippery fish can be caught
The elusive dear can be trapped
The repositories of ancient trees can be traversed
And the oceans can be crossed

Across hills and vales the horizon is but only a mirage begging to make sense…


Ettam Pattu

True to their name, Avial (a mixed-vegetable delicacy) blends Malayalam Poetry with Contemporary Alternative Rock Music.

With elements of Indie Rock and Folk Music underlying an electronic feel, Avial’s music has overcome language barriers not only in India but is also drawing fans across the sub-continent and the globe. It has an increasing fan following, with a revolutionary approach in today’s
contemporary music scene in India.

The band members come from an in-depth musical background, with a diverse exposure of working with different bands before they could come together. In search of something more intrinsic, with a sense of belonging, Avial discovered and articulated the expression in their own mother tongue, dared to express their music with their self-titled debut album.

Fetching a great name for them selves, Avial is one of the most sought after Indian bands today, transcending genres, justifying the term “Alternative Malayalam Rock”
