Aasai Mugam - Contemporary Carnatic adaptation

Whatever sounds u hear is from my fruityloops and associated vsts done (using mouse only, using no midi )except the Indian bamboo flute, done by my talented musician friend Anand.Myself enjoyed scoring, playing and arranging the mridang, ghatam, ginjira, morsing, tamburu, triangle, the bassline (sry)tambur and ambience in the respective vsts.I ove mridang a lot.notice the duel mode in last charanam.This one is a famous composition by Saint Sadasiva Brahmendra in 18th century, set to raaga Shyama.

Take 2: Bantu is probably best described as Carnatic-Jazz. It is a breezy take on the Thaygarajar krithi, Bantu Reethi Kolu in the raga Hamsanadam. The Carnatic song sits over a jazz arrangement bringing together the primary improvisational music forms in the East and West.

The fifth song of #ThePallaviShift

Marubari, composed by Dharmapuri Subbaraya Iyer, is a type of South Indian classical composition called Javali. Javalis are love poems written in simple and colloquial language. The IndoSoul version of Marubari features a brisk version of this classic with an RnB groove. The latter part of the song features female vocals, giving voice to passion, pursuit and desire.

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..

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 :-)

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. Karthick Iyer who has played with bands and in festivals spanning almost all the continents in the world, has contemporized the existing format to suit the ever changing needs of the audiences. His concerts are known to touch every single person in the crowd, from old to new and from the laymen to the learned. He spices up his concerts with medleys of English, Tamil and Carnatic songs rolled into one. Dressed in a dazzling Moghul costume, holding a blue electric violin and armed with a compelling selection of Tamil, Hindi, English and Carnatic songs, Karthick is ready to cast a spell!
