"Neatru Aval" - Mariyan - Cover By Rajkumar R & Ranjani R

This is ancient sound played in temples, some 2-3 thousand years ago, and also till date.
These are played when Lord wakes up, sleeps, eats, roams around, goes out for walk, and plays.
Stay tuned for more.

This is the first video song, of my original composition sung by the very talented Meera Manohar. Meera and I co-wrote the lyrics and she took care of the video editing as well. :)

The evolution of this song from the scratch to final version is an interesting one. I had made it as a basic tune that traverses through many ragas; (Karaharapriya, Sriranjani, Reethigowlai, Baageshri as these ragas are very close in their structure) It was a tune that I liked and called it Uncertain (due to it being always changing shades from one raga to another). When Meera heard it, she was really excited and suggested we make it as a proper song. So then the stanza happened followed by the interlude etc ;). Anyway, do listen and share your feedback, likes etc. :-D

Unarvai - Vijay Kannan Ft. Meera Manohar (Video)

"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.

Hindolam makes a move [Collab. with Shivsu]

I have played different styles of music from traditional carnatic to film-pop. However something that I've always leaned towards is to explore the idea of propping up our beautiful classical music against various genres like pop, rock, jazz etc. So here is a song from my outfit Karthick Iyer Live. We have played Thyagaraja's krithi Manavyala in the raga Nalinakanthi.

Do share! :) 

Covers music got a lively twist with the entrance of Karthick Iyer Live. Karthick Iyer who has played with bands and in festivals spanning almost all the continents in the world, has contemporized the existing format to suit the ever changing needs of the audiences. His concerts are known to touch every single person in the crowd, from old to new and from the laymen to the learned. He spices up his concerts with medleys of English, Tamil and Carnatic songs rolled into one. Dressed in a dazzling Moghul costume, holding a blue electric violin and armed with a compelling selection of Tamil, Hindi, English and Carnatic songs, Karthick is ready to cast a spell!
