Original Compositions

This is a very old composition of mine which was conceived during a train journey.  I made this my phone ringtone and many of my friends liked it. So I am sharing it here and enabling download of the same. You are free to use it as your ringtone too ;-) :-P

Reethigowlai Burst - A Ringtone (Check description for free download link)

This is quite a dark composition which is still in progress. I have visualized this as a three stage composition and here am sharing the first stage which I have completed. Set in the Indian carnatic raga Pantuvarali (similar to the Purya Dhanasri of Hindustani) this conveys an emotion....well ok... You guys leave me as comments what you felt when you heard this composition. :-)

As always, if you liked it please do share it with your friends too. ;)

Redemption - A short theme

A song that I composed, wrote and sang. This is a track version and hopefully I will find a better singer to do justice to it and probably have another stanza too (fingers crossed :P ).

As always, please do leave your comments and if you liked it, show your love by sharing it to your friends and family.

I give below the lyrics, and a rough translation (which I think is right but if there is a mistake, please do tell so that I can correct it. :-))

Headphones or a nice speaker would be best. Laptop speakers suck! :-/

Lyrics:
pon maalai neram
Idhayam avalai azhaikkum

Poo sirikkum neram;
Manamo avalai ninaikkum

Saaral; thoovum; aval sirippil thulaindhu vida thondrum;
raagam; paadum; aval kuralil karaindhu vida thondrum;


Stanza:
---------

Nadhiyin karai manalil,
naan thaniyai..nindren...siru

kuyilgal paadum isaiyil
aval ninaivai.. konden


Maname en maname
avalai ninaithe dhinam vaadidudhe

avalai naan pirindhe
iravum pagalaai indru maaridudhe

hey penne;
nee indri;
Naan; thaviyai thavitthen!


Rough Translation:
-----------------


When the dusk is golden,
(My) heart calls out to her.

When the flower smiles,
(My) mind thinks about her

(I) want to get lost in her drizzle like smile.
(I) want to dissolve myself into her voice which sings raga*

Stanza:
------

On the sand of the river bank,
I stand all alone,

In the music sang by the small koels(cuckoo)
I found her.

Mind, oh my Mind,
withers thinking always of her.

Being away from her,
(My) nights are also becoming days.

Oh my love!
Without you;
I struggle (to live)

Pon Maalai - (Track Version) - Vijay Kannan

http://youtu.be/YtnobSOIjlA

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

I tried to make small but dark and deep piece. What I imagined was 


When one looks into oneself;
Search for peace,
Search for truth,
Search for meaning,
The never ending search,
ends here.

The Search Ends - Vijay Kannan

It had been a long pending one, the desire to compose something in the raga sahana. Sahana is one of the very beautiful ragas and has a few pieces in film songs which are all huge blockbusters. 

Similar to my composition Beauty of Nalinakanthi, I made this as Beauty of Sahana. Do check this one and if you like it, do share it with your friends (Reposting, facebook, twitter and what not ;)).

Cheerio!

EDIT: (11/11/2017) The reception towards this piece had motivated me to start the Beauty of Ragas series.  I have re-recorded and remastered the original track as I was never happy with the quality of the flute recording. I hope you all like it as well now.. :)

A sequel to my previous composition for my blog posting on the raga Nalinakanthi : http://aboutindianmusic.com/2012/03/raga-nalinakanthi-part-2/

A Day To Remember

Charukesi is one of my very very favorite ragas. Here I have tried to present it as a lullaby.  
It features the flute with the backing provided by harp, strings (cellos basses and first chair violins only), and choir; the percussive backing is done with a tabla-mridangam-kanjeera along with the manjeera (jalra) 

The artwork is a screenshot from the movie Thalapathi
