Carnatic Fusion

Two Sides of Karma takes you on a journey through the bright and dark parts of life, that the ancient Indian concept of Karma subjects us to. The emotions conveyed through the songs explore both the good and the bad of the ever-prevailing Karma. Along with IndoSoul’s original creations, you will find interpretations of two Indian Classical compositions by Saint Thyagaraja. Sit back and soak up the IndoSoul sound, that takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions encompassing joy, love and even obsession.

Two Sides of Karma

At the Theatres is Karthick Iyer Live's first ever vocal based track. This song is about a day in the life of some people who go to the theatre to watch a play. This play explores relationships between a man and woman leaving the audience with an imprint of the similar situations they face in their lives everyday.

At the Theatres - IndoSoul by Karthick Iyer Live

Available for free download at https://tinyurl.com/kingsofm

A thillana is a brisk and lively number, usually performed towards the end of a concert - and especially popular with dancers. Kings of Maand is the last song in this album - this is IndoSoul's interpretation of Sri. Lalgudi Jayaraman's Maandu thillana. When I play this song, what comes to mind is a celebratory scene at a royal palace, with dancers and musicians..

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/ 

I hope unlike the usual way in which sequels suck, this is better than the previous. 

Do use headphones please :-)

Beauty Of Nalinakanthi - REDONE - (REMASTERED)

Carnatic Classical Fusion - (Mokshamu Galatha) - Aathirai Sivapalan

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!
