Manavyala in our Mind, one of our early Carnatic adaptations, became synonymous with our sonic character and theme. Our live version on YouTube that we had played three years ago at my sister's wedding was the first time we had ever performed it. While recording our album IndoSoul we decided to make a studio version of this song as well. There's something about this Thyagaraja krithi in raga Nalinakanthi that continues to fascinate through decades and centuries. Vibrant and positive it can never grow old! Here's our humble tribute to the great composer.

Karthick Iyer Live seeks to introduce IndoSoul to people around the world, and inspire them to appreciate music that they might not have sought out on their own.

“The Indian civilization has stood the test of time, welcoming and absorbing numerous cultures along the way - reinventing itself with every addition, but never losing its depth. In a similar vein, IndoSoul goes beyond the confines of genre, seeks out and welcomes other musical influences - while retaining its core identity of Indianness” - Karthick Iyer.

Song Lyrics:

Pallavi:

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
Kann variantha oviyamE

Perazhagu dEvadayE
Arputhathil pEr arputhamE

Unnai urukiyE ennai Eendreduthaalakki
Athil neE magizhchi kandAi perumayum kondAi

Stanza:
En than thevaigal, athai muzhuthum nee arivai
En than mounangal, athin arthangal nee purivAi 
Anbin mozhi mattum pEsum unakku veru mozhigal theriyathu
ThAyainum mElAna deivam ulagilE vEronru kidayathu.

Ithu varai neE seitha thyAgangal pothume

KanmaniyE kAviyamE

aariraaro oraariroo

mhmmmm.....

English translation:

Pallavi:

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
A stunning painting par excellence (metaphorical)
An angel so immensely beautiful
You are nothing short of a miracle

From my birth, you have endured a lot of pain, all the way
But radiated only happiness and pride every single day

Stanza:

My needs and desires, you know too well
My silent moments, you understand them all
You speak only the language of love, none other
There is no angel greater than you, O Mother!

Enough of all the sacrifices you have made for me so far
It is now my turn to be your mother, O my dear! (Implied)

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
sleep my dear, sleep my dear...

Kanmaniye - Vijay Kannan Ft. Uma Ram

This is a contemporary Hindustani Carnatic Jugalbandi with a bandish in raga Jog written and composed by Apoorvaa Deshpande, and a krithi 'Naadaanusandhana' composed by Koteeshwara Iyer in ragam Vaagadeeshwari.

This piece is performed by 2016 IndianRaga Fellows Vinod Krishnan, Apoorvaa Deshpande, Santosh Baynes, Shankar Iyer, Chethan Anant and Karthik Ramasubramanian.

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 :-)

A Contemporary violin adaptation of Brovabarama(Thyagaraja krithi)

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 Brovabarama in the raga Bahudari

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!

Telisi Rama in Purnachandrika holds a special place in my repertoire of songs as this was the first track I learnt from my guru Kalaimamani Sri. V. Thyagarajan. The breezy melody of the track with the catchy swarams lends itself beautifully to the sound of the violin.
