Malarnthum Malaraatha

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

Ghode is Raagleela's original which stands for the energy this song brings. It depicts the Celebration of life. Based in Raag Bageshree, which is meant to depict the emotion of a woman waiting for reunion with her lover. It is said to have been first sung by Mian Tansen, the celebrated court singer of the Emperor Akbar in the sixteenth century

Recorded & mixed at Plug n' Play Studio Delhi by Anindo Bose

Mastered By Tyrone Fernandes

Lyrics by SP Suresh (https://twitter.com/vajrabhrt)

अथ कस्त्वम् कुतो वन्द्यः ?
मानी प्रभुरवादीत् 
Who are you now, who deserves such respect (and obeisance)? 
So said the proud Lord 

उभावपि सिम्हौ रुचिरेव भिन्ना 
इदमेव तथ्यं जानामि
We are both lions, only the sheen is different! 
This is the truth that I know!

सुवर्णम् रक्तम् वा भवतु चर्म 
नखाः समाना एव! 
मम तु दीर्घास् तीव्राश्च  
त्वदीयेभ्यस् तीव्रतराः
Let the skin (sheath) be gold or red, 
the nails are similar! 
Mine are long and sharp  
Sharper than yours!  

इत्यवोचत् इत्यवोचत् 
काश्मीररजः  
So he said, so he said, the King of Kashmir

अद्य तु शून्या तत्सभा 
विलापवृश्टिस्तस्याम् 
Now his court is deserted 
And there is a rain of tears in it 


Rains Of Kashmir

Melodious Sarangi - Raag Bhimpalasi

just like sound, light wind and water can have its own intesity, so does pain. one can feel pain at different levels you simply feel pain like a pinch, you feel the pain tingling up you spine, it can increase and stimulate your vocal chords to release the pressure, it can make you scream if a simple ouch doesnt release it, but what if screaming doesnt work ??                                                it reaches a saturation,a point where you go blank, where the wires in your head can't be untangled, the emotion of this level of pain is called IRE
