'Under Attack' by Slow Knights

'Under Attack' is a track I co-wrote with Del Marquis (Scissor Sisters) for his solo project Slow Knights (http://www.soundcloud.com/slowknights).

I'm starting to play it in my live sets back in the UK, so here it is, incase you haven't heard it.

Slow Knights debut album 'Cosmos' is out now.

Under Attack [Slow Knights - vocal by Bright Light Bright Light]

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)

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!

Dhanashree Thillana (The Inner Self Awakens by Agam)

http://karthickiyer.com - The second single from Karthick Iyer Records strikes a more sober note. Lurking Shadows creates awareness by depicting the metastasis of one of the most deadliest diseases in the world, Cancer. Man’s insignificance in the scheme of the humungous universe is reinstated by this highly potent disease. As we race to find a cure in time, somewhere along the way we realize that this is nothing but a disciplinary check on our lifestyle that nature enforces upon us.
