Uyirum neeye udalum neeye uravum neeye thaaye... :)

A kutthu garage rock remix of the White Stripes' classic "Seven Nation Army". Lyrics in collaboration with https://twitter.com/raghuthaatha written from the point of view of someone who ignores tradition and superstition only to face an anticlimactic response from the establishment at the end. 

I'm in a barbershop
Amavasai couldn't hold me back
I'm going to flag it off 
Middle of rahu kalam, that's my knack
And I'm sleeping in my bed at night 
While I'm facing north
I ask for kovil prasadam
left hand extending forth

And i dont give astrologers money, yezhara naattu sani

Don't wanna hear about it
Kili josyam’s got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
Don’t need no drishtipottu as well
And if I touch it with my ecchai patthu
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the message from my horoscope, it’s sevva dosham bro

Ava aappu vecchuta
Enters left leg first I swear
And when I’m going out
she always has to ask me where
And I'm sneezing, and she's sneezing, and we're sneezing
when there’s good news  
All my pages filled with real bad words
sri ramajayam's no use

And even then the message from my elders, is “nee pozhacchu po"

Lyrics explanation: For those not from South India, every line refers to a superstitious belief held strongly by many here, like 
* not visiting the barbershop on auspicious days (like Amavasai - new moon day)
* Avoiding kicking off things during Rahu kalam
* Head facing north while sleeping
* Sneezing when good news is announced

The title is a reference to an astrological belief that the 7.5 years of Saturn transiting through the 8th house from the moon in one's horoscope. 

The guitar parts were recorded on an Ibanez SA-120 through a Boss ME-25 FX processor and an amplified fuzz effect was used on the vocals to make it sound like Jack White's. 

The percussion and drums were sequenced & programmed

Teardrop Bahudari

This is an instrumental Produced by me for a baby shower video. The Director Wanted something which had an Authentic SouthIndian Vibe , But I tried to make it a little contemporary If you will, . Thanks to  My fellow Musicians Parth Chandiramani who played Flute on this and Adarsha Ramakumar who played the Violin.

The Innocence

An adaptation of Ilayaraja's "En Iniya Pon" from the film Moodu Pani with fellow Raja enthusiast @mediumcoffee . This project is called "Le Rogeur" and the idea was not to do a literal cover but improvise liberally while still retaining the semblance of the original song. Here we take Raja's original harmony/chord structure & use more jazzy variants. The other improv happens in the interludes, where we start out sounding like the original interlude but wander off into different territories. We hope to do a few more of these under the "Le Rogeur" moniker over the next few weeks. And oh, another thing. For this project, in recognition of the technical challenges of Ilayaraja's golden years (the 80s), we will only use real instruments live-recorded without any software programming.

En Iniya Pon

listen to the soulful mellifluous song Manasa Sancharare on guitar by Shylu Ravindran. This is from the second album called "The Electric RTP" accompanied by stalwarts such as B.Ananthakrishnan on Violin , K.V.Prasad on Mridangam and R.Raman on Muhursung.

Manasa Mix Final

"I am the size of what I see, not that of my stature." 

These words, taken from 'The book of disquiet' by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (translated by Richard Zenith) define the song Saramati. 
Based on the beautiful yet moody raga Saramati, these words intertwine with the breezy Carnatic classic, Sengathir Vaanam. Renowned saint-poet Sri Pithukuli Murugadas, who has written this song, talks about the joys of living an unpretentious life and finding God in nature. 

Saramati resonates this message of simple living along with the wise words of Pessoa.

Lyrics

Pallavi 

Himagiri thanaye hemalathe amba 
Eeshwari sreeLalithe mamava 

Anupallavi 
Rama Vani samsevitha sakale 
Rajarajeshwari ramasahodari 

Charanam 

Paashaankusheshu danda kare amba 
Paaraathpare nijabhakta pare 
Ashambare hari kesha vilase 
Aanantha roope amrutha prathape.

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