Lyrics

आँखों को जो आँखों का इशारा मिल गया,
दिल दिल से मिलाने का इरादा हो गया,
पर्दे रहें, क्यों दरमियाँ,
दो जिस्म हैं, जब एक जाँ,
अब शर्मो हया को विदा कह दो न...
आँखों को....

सांसों में है मदहोशियाँ,
कानों में ये सरगोशियाँ,
धीमे स्वरों में कोई बात बोले,
सुन के जिसे मन ये बेताब डोले,
होंठों से,
हो...शबनम को तुम,
प्यार से,
हो....चखने भी दे,
मेरी बाहों में तुझको उठा लूं मैं
सीने से लगा लूँ जरा पास आ...
आँखों को....


मन में उठे तूफ़ान सा,
एहसास ये अनजान सा,
नस नस में क्यों कोई प्यास घोले,
अब तो न संभले मन ये संभाले,
ले ले पलकों में तू, अब मुझको छुपा,
कोई देखे न मुझको तेरे सिवा,
आँखों को....

Aankhon ko - आँखों को - An original in Hindi Feat. Ali Pervez Mehdi and Kuhoo Gupta

My first proper music video, (Link to Video : http://youtu.be/QPT3uup_pOU), I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the Nightingale of California, Meera Manohar in a re-arragment of the song by Ouseppachan, Andhi Maalai.


The tune of the song is heavily derived from the famous kriti of Saint Thyagaraja, 'Endaro Mahanubhavulu'. Meera and I both love this Thyagaraja swamy krithi and so decided that as our first project, we will do a re-arrangement of the Andhi Maalai song. :-D

The original album was released under A R Rahman's name although he had played only as a keyboardist*. The vocals were by S Janaki in the original version with lyrics by Vairamuthu

Vocals, Video and Editing: Meera Manohar ( @meeram ) 
Flute, Music, Arrangement: Vijay Kannan ( @Indian_Music_Fan )
Mixing: Meera Manohar and Vijay Kannan
Mastering: Meera Manohar

Andhi Maalai - A Re-arrangement featuring Meera Manohar

A hard rock adaptation of the Ahir Bharav bandish from the Manarang Gharana in Jaipur made famous by Ustad Sultan Khan in the movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXQXuKpgKEO, with interlude elements borrowed from Hava Nagila, a Jewish folk song. The lyrics, written in Rajasthani, celebrate the arrival of a lover into the household and Hava Nagila ("Let us rejoice") is traditionally sung at Jewish weddings.

The swaras were sung based more on the south indian raga Chakravaham.

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)

A Fusion based on the composition of Papanasam Sivan in the raga Hamsanandi. 

Credits:
Main Melody and Lyrics: Papanasam Sivan
Vocals: Uma Ramasubramaniam
Music: Vijay Kannan

I have known Uma Ramasubramaniam for quite a while and had also been involved in a carnatic music CD (http://ragasurabhi.com/carnatic-music/buy-lalithamritham-audio-cd.html). Recently, Uma and Ram had come to Berlin and had a chance to record a couple of songs. 

She hosts a website where one can learn about ragas of Indian Music : http://ragasurabhi.com and also teaches carnatic music online. 

http://ragasurabhi.com/carnatic-music/buy-varnam-lessons.html

An interesting aspect about the music I have done for the above piece is the use of Graha bedam (Tonic Shift) in the second interlude.  The actual raga of the song is in Hamsanandi. The graha bedam leads it to Hindolam
{{
The tonic shift is done when I change the Shadjamam (Sa, tonic note here is G) to the Rishabam of Hamsanandi (G#). Now the swaras of Hamsanandi are S R1 G3 M2 D2 N3 S' Hindolam scale is reached when I play R1 G3 M2 D2 N3 R1' (which when R1 = S becomes S G2 M1 D1 N2 S').

Hamsanandi:
G  Ab(G#) B C#  E F# G'
Hindolam:
Ab(G#) B C' E F# Ab'(G#')

"Iravin Parithavippu" or "Angst of the Night" is a rather upbeat song I had once composed: http://soundcloud.com/shivsu/iravin-parithavippu

This is a revisit together with http://soundcloud.com/Indian_Music_Fan who has, quite literally, breathed a new life to this song, playing motifs he has specially made for this song on his bass and tenor flutes in addition to a slick cello track.

And I, behind my Yamaha MO6 workstation, have made the rest of the arrangement.
