Tose Naina- Arjit singh

This is one of the performances of mine with Naveen(acoustic guitar) and Bharath(keyboard) for Kamal Hassan sir's birthday special on Radio One 94.3FM. One of the best songs of recent times, and one more reason to love Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy more.
This is a live performance recorded with two microphones.

Unnai Kaanaamal (Live)

Suttum Vizhi ( Kandukondein Kandukondein)

Mar Jawan Full Song High Quality Music

A minimal cover of an all time favorite, Uyire / Tu Hi Re from Bombay, featuring the brilliant @indian_music_fan on the flute. 

Uyire / Tu Hi Re Cover ft Vijay Kannan

Falak Tak Chal Sath Mere

Long time wish to cover this one. A kinda minimal interpretation of Arziyan from Delhi 6. Here, finally :-)

Arziyan (Delhi-6) Cover

A re-imagination of the Gujarati bhajan in Raag Khamaj, written by Narsinh Mehta, set to a simplistic ghatam groove and orchestral backing. And a few solos on the Animoog synth. 



Lyrics/Translation:

Vaishnav Jan To, Tene Kahiye Je
Peed Paraaye Jaane Re
Par Dukkhe Upkaar Kare Toye
Man Abhiman Na Anne Re

Vaishnava (devotees of Lord Vishnu) people are those who,
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let ego or conceit enter their mind.

Sakal Lok Maan Sahune Vandhe,
Ninda Na Kare Kainee Re
Baach Kaachh, Man Nischal Raakhe,
Dhan-Dhan Jananee Tainee Re

Vaishnavas, respect the entire world,
Do not censure anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,
The mother of such a soul is blessed.

Van-Lobhi Ne Kapat Rahit Chhe
Kaam-Krodh Nivaarya Re
Bhane Narsaiyyo Tenu Darshan Karta
Kul Ekoter Taarya Re…

Vaishnavas encompasses the absence of greed and deceit,
They have renounced all types of lust and anger,
The author of this poem (Narsi) would be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.

Vaishnava Janato

A mashup of two sparsely connected tracks. Love Me Like You Do and Iktara from Wake Up Sid. 

@elliegoulding meets Amit Trivedi meets Bilahari raagam.

Featuring Shravan Sridhar (the_non_violinist_project) on the electric violin!

Love Me Like You Do / Iktara (Wake Up Sid) | Sudharshan Ashok, Shravan Sridhar

Breathetaking ...
Shankar Ehsaan Loy used experimentation to the max possible level to merge the most heart pounding of lyrics sung by the one who could alone have done justice to this song ... to device a marvel ...
Tanhayee reminds me of the first time wen the foolish heart was acquainted to the GOD of emotions ... and still is skin and blood and echoes in the voids dat once was the heart ... and will always be ...
5K+ times later Tanhayee still seems as fresh and killin as was the first time it played on the Cassette player ...


Tanhayee - Sonu Nigam - Dil Chahta Hai

I tried. Turn up volume. Earphones required.

Vellai Pookal

Tum Ho

Rearranged the music of Unnai Kaanadhu from Vishwaroopam with Mixcraft 5 and covered it.
Original Tune by SEL

Unnai Kaanadhu Cover (Rearranged)

Slowly learning to pick strings. Evidently not very good at it. 

This is my favourite Joshua Radin song.

I wish I had played it a little differently. Anyway.
