Hello.. Could you please contact me in apsilal@gmail.com

As a tribute to the utterly wonderful HBO series True Detective, this remix explores the similarities between the show's underlying theme of time being a flat circle and the Indian idea of Moksha, the release from that very circle of vicious repetition. 

So I took Thyagaraja's hauntingly brilliant "Mokshamu Galada" where he wonders if there is ever going to be Moksha without knowledge, and blended The Handsome Family's "Far from any road", the theme song of the show with it. 

Played on the following instruments
1. Yamaha C40 Classical guitar
2. Hofner beginner Cello
3. Electric violin

The raga is "Saramathi" which well into fits into the A minor key of the theme song

Far From Moksha

A lullaby song,written and composed just  with Voice and Veena and harp.

Thekkini

A Sanskrit adaptation of "Hurt" (originally written by Trent Reznor & made famous by Johnny Cash' haunting rendition (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc)
Lyrics: @krishashok & KSKarun (twitter.com/kskarun)
This version is told from the viewpoint of Duryodhana (from Bhasa's 2nd century play Urubhanga)

Verse 1
माम् अद्य अहिंसयम् (I hurt myself today)
भावना परीक्षितुम्  (to test my feelings)
पीडाम् योजयाम्यहम् (I focus on the pain)
याम् अस्ति यथार्थम् (that is the only truth)
रंध्रं छिद्रयति सूची (the needle tears a hole)
परिचितदंशः (the very familiar sting)
यतेऽहम् हन्तुम् सर्वं (I try to destroy it all)
सर्वं स्मराम्यहम् (I remember everything)
 
Chorus
किमहम् अभवम् (What have I become?)
मधुरतम मित्र (My sweetest friend)
यान् सर्वान् जानामि (everyone I know)
अन्ते विगच्छन्ति (goes away, in the end)
त्वम् लभेथाः सर्वम् (You can have it all)
मम तृणसाम्राज्यम् (my empire of grass/dirt)
निराशा यच्छाम्यहम् (I bring tragedy)
त्वाम् व्यथयाम्यहम् (I hurt you)
 
Verse 2
कण्टक मौलिम् वहामि (I wear this crown of thorns)
आनृतकासने स्थितन् (upon my liar's chair)
हीनविचारपूर्णः (mind full of harmful thoughts)
प्रतिकर्तुम् न शक्यम् (That i cannot repair)
कालस्य कलङ्केषु (In the stains of time)
भावनाः लीयन्ते  (Feelings disappear)
अन्यः त्वमसि (You are someone else)
अहमत्रैवास्मि (I am still right here)

Picture: Duryodhana, as a character in the Bhasa play "Urubhanga", an alternative take on the Mahabharatha story where he realizes the futility of war and loses interest in empire.
