This past weekend, I tried recording my first video.

(Do like, share, subscribe and what not and show your love as always :-)

I played out Ilayaraja's masterpiece from the movie 'Olangal' Thumbi vaa and merged it into A R Rahman's Masterpiece from Roja. It was meant for two things.
1. To see whether video came out well - Turns out it did :P ;)
2. Just that I love both these songs and wanted to do it.

After people listened to this, I have got a lot of requests for enabling it for download, for making a longer version. I will definitely try and do it. But for now, here is the version as it stands. :-D

Sri Kandha Guru Kavasam

"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.

Sri Kandha Sasti Kavasam & Guru Kavsam

Sri Kandha Sasti Kavasam-VmusiQ.Com

Syama Sastri's classic composition in Ragam Neelambari 'Brovavamma Bangaru Bomma' is improvized by 2016 IndianRaga Fellows Sindhu Shashikanth, Karthik Ramasubramanian, Vinod Krishnan with guest performer Alex Lee-Clark on Trumpet, with new-age instrumentation and arrangement.

Neelambari Jazz lullaby

This song is inspired by a poem written by #Sadhguru on #Shiva, the Adiyogi.

Don't you trust the still one. 
He drew Me in with his stillness. 
Me thought He is the way. 
Be warned He is the End.

#Adiyogi is embodied as the ultimate in every aspect of life – most lively, yet most meditative, the peak of bliss, yet absolutely still, ambitious, yet dispassionate. These seemingly contradictory characteristics have wooed many a devotee with both intrigue and hope. He is an inspiration through any path that at its intense extreme takes you towards liberation where one rises beyond what looks like contradictions.

#Mahashivratri is one of the largest and most significant among the sacred festival nights of India. This – the darkest night of the year – celebrates the Grace of #Shiva, who is considered the Adi Guru or the First #Guru, from whom the yogic tradition originates.

Tamil Lyrics: 

தீரமும் வீரமும் வாழ்க்கைனு நினைச்சேன்
சாகசம் பலப் பல செய்திட துடிச்சேன்
வீரத்தின் உச்சத்தில் சிவனுன்னு பாத்தேன்
எனக்குள்ள அவனையும் ஒன்னுன்னு சேத்தேன்
ஆட்டம் நினைச்சேன் - உயிரோட்டம் நினைச்சேன்
மோனம் உணர்த்துவான் – நம்பாதே
பாதைனு நினைச்சேன்- பாதத்தை புடிச்சேன்
முடிவை உணர்த்துவான் – நம்பாதே
ஆட்டமும் பாட்டமும் வாழ்கைனு நினைச்சேன்
கேளிக்கை உலகுல மூழ்கியே திளைச்சேன்
ஆட்டத்தில் உச்சத்தில் சிவனுன்னு பார்த்து
எனக்குள்ள அவனையும் ஒன்னுன்னு சேத்தேன்
சாதனை செய்வது வாழ்க்கைனு நினைச்சேன்
வெற்றியின் சிகரத்தை அடைஞ்சிட தவிச்சேன்
சாதனை செய்தவன் சிவனுன்னு பார்த்தேன்
எனக்குள்ள அவனையும் ஒன்னுன்னு சேர்த்தேன்
ஆட்டம் நினைச்சேன் - உயிரோட்டம் நினைச்சேன்
மோனம் உணர்த்துவான் – நம்பாதே
பாதைனு நினைச்சேன் - பாதத்தை புடிச்சேன்
முடிவை உணர்த்துவான் – நம்பாதே
தீரமும் வீரமும் வாழ்க்கைனு நினைச்சேன்
சாகசம் பலப் பல செய்திட துடிச்சேன்
வீரத்தின் உச்சத்தில் சிவனுன்னு பாத்தேன்
எனக்குள் அவனையும் ஒன்னுன்னு சேத்தேன்
முக்தி வடிவாம் ஆதியோகி	
வினையின் முடிவாம் ஆதியோகி
