My first composition, based on the scale of Raga Hari Kambhoji (I hope).  

Carnatic Rock Fusion

The band’s first ever composition, ‘A Clown’s Junket’ represents Karthick Iyer’s first few steps as he transitioned from a being a freelance violinist to the front-man of his solo outfit. It is set in Raga Sankarabharanam (the Western major scale), one of the most fundamental scales from which many ragas have evolved. It represents the beginning of the musician’s journey, as he balances his feet, while ensuring the audience stays entertained. The chorus signifies joy that comes from reaching small goals the band set for themselves.

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.

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..

Aliveni Enthu Cheyvu

I recently started experimenting with my electric violin to create deep cello-like tones. Once I came up with a few interesting musical 'hooks', I started looking for a song to complement these, and landed on Vatapi Ganapathim, a popular Indian Classical song composed by Muthuswamy Dikshitar. I've added multiple violin and vocal layers to complete the arrangement. I'm so excited about this song, and think this kind of a homogenous arrangement with only violin and vocal tracks to back the main melody can become a theme in itself for more videos in this channel. Hope you like it!
