Raghu - Dixit - Jagchanga - Sajana

"Moments and Centers" - Shankar Tucker

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.

Mokshamu Galada

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..

A R Rahman Flute Medley - Celebrating Indian Independence - An ARR medley for Peace and Unity - Flute Vijay Kannan

Aug 15, 2017 marks 70 years of Indian Independence. I present here a medley of three of A R Rahman's songs on flute, songs which I dearly love and songs that convey the importance of giving back, of unity, of peace, of togetherness, of love, of kindness, of the undying spirit of humanity that should 'trump' evil, prejudice, bigotry, narrow-minded selfishness and jealousy. India has been a country that has been defined by its diversity. Diversity of culture, traditions, languages and geography but all linked by that spirit of Bharat which in my belief is humanity. I hope it becomes stronger and unites not only people of India but everyone in this world. Nationalism is good when we realize that this world we live in, the whole of it is actually one Nation.

The songs I have chosen in this medley are 
Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera - Swades
Thamizha Thamizha - Roja
Vellai Pookal - Kannaththil Muththamittal

Full Credits
All Original compositions of A R Rahman
Arranged and performed by Vijay Kannan

Song: Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera
Movie: Swades
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar

Song: Thamizha Thamizha
Movie: Roja
Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Song: Vellai Pookal
Movie: Kannaththil Muththamittal
Lyrics: Vairamuthu

Lyrics of the Medley as performed here

Mitti Ki Hai Jo Khushboo, Tu Kaise Bhulayega
Tu Chahe Kahin Jayeh, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayee-Nayee Raho Mein, Dabi-Dabi Aaho Mein
Khoyeh-Khoyeh Dil Se Tere Koi Yeh Kahega

Unakkullae Indiya Ratham Undaa Illaiya?
Ondraana Bharatham Unnai Kaakkum Illaiya
Thamizha Thamizha Kangal Kalangaathey
Vidiyum Vidiyum Ullam Mayangaathey

Yengu Širu Kuzhanthai Than Kai Alithidumø
Angu Thøndraayø Køllai Nilavae
Yengu Manitha Inam Pør Oyinthu Šaayinthudumø
Angu Køøvaayø Vellai Kuyilae

Vellai Pøøkkal Ulagam Èngum Malaravae
Vidiyum Bøømi Amaithikaaga Vidigavae
Mann Mael Manjal Velicham Vizhugavae
Malare Šømbal Murithu Èzhugavae
Kuzhanthai Vizhikattumae Thaayin Kathakathappil
Ulagam Vidiyatumae Pillayin Siru Muthal Sirippil

A R Rahman Flute Medley - Indian Independence day - (VIDEO)

An Asha Bhonsle number. Excuse the pronounciation. Was recorded right after Kanne, again as a voice sample. Programmed and recorded by Sindhu :)

Ghazal - Bhini Bhini

Two Sides of Karma takes you on a journey through the bright and dark parts of life, that the ancient Indian concept of Karma subjects us to. The emotions conveyed through the songs explore both the good and the bad of the ever-prevailing Karma. Along with IndoSoul’s original creations, you will find interpretations of two Indian Classical compositions by Saint Thyagaraja. Sit back and soak up the IndoSoul sound, that takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions encompassing joy, love and even obsession.

01 Vidaja

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts
