Yengiranthe Vanthai - Enakku 20 Unakku 18

A Saranga Convergence started out from a quest initially to make a psychedelic song. However what came about was a song that had strong influences of progressive rock and time signature experiments along with a carnatic 'thillana like' melody . This whole song came about within a few hours of jamming with the musicians and remains one of our favourites.

IndoSoul
The Indian civilization has stood the test of time, welcoming and absorbing numerous cultures along the way. It has reinvented itself with every addition, but never lost 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. It breaks down superficial barriers between genres, instruments, cultures, languages to bring out deep commonalities that define great music everywhere.

Own Comp

Over the past year my increasing interest in Electronic music(EDM, House, etc) has led me to envision the interplay between Carnatic ragas and EDM synths and grooves on track. I came up with this track when I was playing some synthesizers in a western melodic scale called Phrygian. I found myself humming an alaap in Raga Sindhu Bhairavi soon as a couple of synth phrases were done. There seems to be such an irresistable pull between the beautiful variations of the raga and the repetitive nature of the electronic part underneath. Here is a version of me playing a violin alaap and swaram in Raga Sindhu Bhairavi as the first video of a new series, House of Carnatic.

Lyrics:
Sapne phir bhi dekhe tum ne 
Mushkil thee bhale 
Haathon ki in lakeeron ko tum
Badalne ho chale 

Unchi udaanen bharna  
Dil ko hai yeh kahaa
Toofaano se na darna 
aisa hai haunslaaa 

I am ready, going steady, I am now
Can't you see, let me be, I am free

Logon ki jo baatein unmein 
Kuch bhi na raakha 
Mile tujhko khushi hai jisme 
Usmein kadam badha 

Umeedein zinda rakhna   
Dil ko hai yeh kahaa
Toofaano se na darna 
aisa hai haunslaaa

I am ready, going steady, I am now
Can't you see, let me be, I am free
I am ready, going steady, I am now
Can't you see, let me be, I am free

Ready. Steady. Free.
Ready. Steady. Free.
