Mahaganapathim - Fusion Cover

My first collaboration with the extremely talented and enthusiastic  http://soundcloud.com/shivsu . I have played the raga hindolam (Malkauns in Hindustani). Shiva has done the amazing arrangement all with his Yamaha M06 alone. We hope to do more such awesome music :-D

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!

Brovabarama - Release the burdens - Free Download

For a class project, I had to come up with an artistic mission and a project that reflects that mission. Over the last few years, I have been very interested in mixing different styles of music; this is the basis for my world fusion band, Jugal Vandy, and the remixes/mashups that are on my SoundCloud page. For the demo portion of my project, I composed an original refrain in Bilahari Ragam and, with a few friends, I recorded a song that fuses elements of Carnatic music and Jazz music. 

This is my very first recording where I am both a performer and the producer. All the recording, mixing, and editing was done by me. I would like to especially thank Shelby for writing the Jazz chord progression. Also thanks to Richard and Vinay for helping me out with this project.

Saxophone: Shyam
Piano: Shelby Flowers
Guitar: Richard Droghini
Drumset and Congas: Vinay Shroff

Hope you enjoy it!
