Journey with Nalinakanthi

Project YUJ has faithfully and authentically bridged the gap of the Western and Indian traditions through their brand of music, Neo-Carnatic Funk. YUJ's command of style allows the band members to effortlessly shift gears and steer the course into the unknown, flanked by novelty and technique to burn. From the slick modern arrangement of Deekshitar's classic kriti “Mahaganapathim”, to the upbeat montunos of “Maputo”, to the korvais of  “Reethigowla Blues”, all the way to the Flecktones - inspired, “Banjo Rumble”, the album consistently surprises and changes course, keeping the listener surprised, guessing and eager for more. If the maiden voyage holds this much promise, the future looks bright.

01 Mahaganapathim (Muthuswamy Deekshitar Kriti Re - Arranged)

"The carnatification", a carnatic musical presentation on a electric guitar is what makes the album entirely different from the others in the market. The  carnatification is nothing but CARNATIC MODIFICATION . The album is filled with pure essence of carnatic music of highest order, comprising of high standard and popular krithis by the greats such as muthuswamy dikshidar, thyarajar, periyaswamy thooran , patnam Subramaniayam Iyer, madurai mani Iyer and purandaradasar. And as a highlight have my first composition too, a peppy ragamalika number. 
               
                   THE UNIQUENESS 

               The album is distinctly unique for the style of playing with double octaves , harmonies, and artificial harmonies and highly grooved swara sections which are completely new to the audience of carnatic. . I LL assure it to be a youth favorite because of the electric guitar factor and the recording quality and the brand names in the album.

              BIG SHOTS IN THE ALBUM

            THE CARNATIFICATION  has some real big names who are currently at the peak in the carnatic feild. I have been accompanied by my dad and percussion maestro Prapancham Ravindran on the mridangam , kanjira maestro B.S.Purushottam and hugely reputed DR.S. Karthick on the Ghatam. The 3 rhythm heroes have provided some brilliant grooves with the electric guitar , thus making it sound epic.

Just happened to record my cousin Usha do an impromptu rendition of Krishna Nee Begane Baaro in the style of T Balasaraswathi - slow tempo and expressive. So I have kept the arrangement quite minimal. The raga is Yaman Kalyani

Krishna Nee Begane

Written by Adi Shankarachaarya, 8th century Indian philosopher

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 :-)

A Contemporary violin adaptation of Brovabarama(Thyagaraja krithi)

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 Brovabarama in the raga Bahudari

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!
