superb fusion to vatpapi to vellai pookal-great play

What to Say ?A perpetual sucker for the violin

Singer: Haricharan; Keys: Navneeth Sundar; Recordist and Motivator: Shweta Mohan ;)
Hari, Shwe and I met at my studio a year ago and decided we'd jam something. Hari sang Pakkala Nilabadi composed by St Thyagaraja and I played the keys. Shwe was our audience cum recordist cum motivator. We had total fun that day. Audio captured on a single mic in addition to my keyboard's line.

Syama Sastri's classic composition in Ragam Neelambari 'Brovavamma Bangaru Bomma' is improvized by 2016 IndianRaga Fellows Sindhu Shashikanth, Karthik Ramasubramanian, Vinod Krishnan with guest performer Alex Lee-Clark on Trumpet, with new-age instrumentation and arrangement.

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.
