Theepangal - Tribute For Heroes -மாவீரர்களுக்கு எமது சமர்ப்பணம்

My first proper music video, (Link to Video : http://youtu.be/QPT3uup_pOU), I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the Nightingale of California, Meera Manohar in a re-arragment of the song by Ouseppachan, Andhi Maalai.


The tune of the song is heavily derived from the famous kriti of Saint Thyagaraja, 'Endaro Mahanubhavulu'. Meera and I both love this Thyagaraja swamy krithi and so decided that as our first project, we will do a re-arrangement of the Andhi Maalai song. :-D

The original album was released under A R Rahman's name although he had played only as a keyboardist*. The vocals were by S Janaki in the original version with lyrics by Vairamuthu

Vocals, Video and Editing: Meera Manohar ( @meeram ) 
Flute, Music, Arrangement: Vijay Kannan ( @Indian_Music_Fan )
Mixing: Meera Manohar and Vijay Kannan
Mastering: Meera Manohar

Andhi Maalai - A Re-arrangement featuring Meera Manohar

A hard rock adaptation of the Ahir Bharav bandish from the Manarang Gharana in Jaipur made famous by Ustad Sultan Khan in the movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXQXuKpgKEO, with interlude elements borrowed from Hava Nagila, a Jewish folk song. The lyrics, written in Rajasthani, celebrate the arrival of a lover into the household and Hava Nagila ("Let us rejoice") is traditionally sung at Jewish weddings.

The swaras were sung based more on the south indian raga Chakravaham.

Albela Sajan

A Fusion based on the composition of Papanasam Sivan in the raga Hamsanandi. 

Credits:
Main Melody and Lyrics: Papanasam Sivan
Vocals: Uma Ramasubramaniam
Music: Vijay Kannan

I have known Uma Ramasubramaniam for quite a while and had also been involved in a carnatic music CD (http://ragasurabhi.com/carnatic-music/buy-lalithamritham-audio-cd.html). Recently, Uma and Ram had come to Berlin and had a chance to record a couple of songs. 

She hosts a website where one can learn about ragas of Indian Music : http://ragasurabhi.com and also teaches carnatic music online. 

http://ragasurabhi.com/carnatic-music/buy-varnam-lessons.html

An interesting aspect about the music I have done for the above piece is the use of Graha bedam (Tonic Shift) in the second interlude.  The actual raga of the song is in Hamsanandi. The graha bedam leads it to Hindolam
{{
The tonic shift is done when I change the Shadjamam (Sa, tonic note here is G) to the Rishabam of Hamsanandi (G#). Now the swaras of Hamsanandi are S R1 G3 M2 D2 N3 S' Hindolam scale is reached when I play R1 G3 M2 D2 N3 R1' (which when R1 = S becomes S G2 M1 D1 N2 S').

Hamsanandi:
G  Ab(G#) B C#  E F# G'
Hindolam:
Ab(G#) B C' E F# Ab'(G#')

Malarndhum Malaraadha - Vijay Kannan And Krish Ashok

Earphones please :D 

One of my favourite songs in the world :) Extremely beautiful. Was thinking of recording this for a long long time. Majorly have gone for the feel of the song, as I wanted to try some freestyle, but I believe it has come out very beautifully in just one take. Do follow, like, comment, repost, share :)

Here is my short description on the song: A mom sings to her boy and says please come fast my child and show me your face. The boy is Krishna. Then she goes on describing the great feats her son has achieved. Now the words say fast, "come krishna come fast", that is what the first line means. And one may surely argue that this must be sung fast and not slow. But I feel the description that comes afterwords suggests that the mom is actually describing her child also, which actually puts forth the question, is she in a hurry? So, is the word fast, just a way of showing her yearning to she her boy? Would you praise your child when you are desperate to see him? I dont think so. People may also say, during the first line the mom is just seeing whether her son is there. When the statement repeats again, however, she actually wants him to come and when it repeats again, she wants him "there" and so on (This is surely a good way to look at any song as it leads to lot of musical exploration ). This is portrayed musically by adding more gamakas, where the note stops, volume e.t.c. e.t.c. Though analysis is a good way to look at music, analysis is not music. Music is just what you feel that day. Sometimes an entire day you can be yearning to see your child and not be angry at him or anything, that is what I try to portray in my version. PS. It is so much fun singing Yaman Kalyani, slow :)
