A minimalist Piano and Violin version of Ilayaraja's How to Name it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz-MTrlIG_8). The violin recording was lying around for a while now so I added the piano score. This is an adaptation, so the opening interlude is extra and I've stopped where the Simhendramadhyamam stops and the Shanmukhapriya starts. 

Simhendramadhyamam is the raga (mode)the first part of this composition is set in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simhendramadhyamam. It then segues into Shanmukhapriya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanmukhapriya) in the original full version of this. 

How to Name it


"The carnatification", a carnatic musical presentation on a electric guitar is what makes the album entirely different from the others in the market. The  carnatification is nothing but CARNATIC MODIFICATION . The album is filled with pure essence of carnatic music of highest order, comprising of high standard and popular krithis by the greats such as muthuswamy dikshidar, thyarajar, periyaswamy thooran , patnam Subramaniayam Iyer, madurai mani Iyer and purandaradasar. And as a highlight have my first composition too, a peppy ragamalika number. 
               
                   THE UNIQUENESS 

               The album is distinctly unique for the style of playing with double octaves , harmonies, and artificial harmonies and highly grooved swara sections which are completely new to the audience of carnatic. . I LL assure it to be a youth favorite because of the electric guitar factor and the recording quality and the brand names in the album.

              BIG SHOTS IN THE ALBUM

            THE CARNATIFICATION  has some real big names who are currently at the peak in the carnatic feild. I have been accompanied by my dad and percussion maestro Prapancham Ravindran on the mridangam , kanjira maestro B.S.Purushottam and hugely reputed DR.S. Karthick on the Ghatam. The 3 rhythm heroes have provided some brilliant grooves with the electric guitar , thus making it sound epic.

Abhogi 2.0 - the more you uncover the hidden layers in this raga, the more arise! Bringing you my next IndianRaga music video, a sequel to Swara Sadhana, with Apoorva Deshpande once again. This time we ardently explored the eclectic raga of Abhogi, amalgamated both in Hindustani and Carnatic. Which part of this song stood out to you? Comment below!

Abhogi to me, is a striking raga, with the way it's carried in different styles of music. It's captivating and intoxicating, despite missing Pa, the 5th note which is the midpoint in the musical scale. The Carnatic composition is "Sabapathikku," written by Gopalakrishna Bharathi, in the Tamizh language. The Hindustani bandish is an original composition by Apoorva, adding beautifully to the rendition about an abstract divinity in music. The lyrics are deep, meaningful, and idolize an abstract version of a musical deity.
