Vaasamilla Malaridhu... !

A recording attempt after ages!!!.

Took a easy one to hopefully ease into some kind of form, after a very slow recovery with my throat!.

A simple yet catchy hit tune by T. Rajender sung by SPB … I think the film was a big hit too at that time.

All comments welcome….don’t hold back!!.
Thanks for listening.

Song: Vaasamilla Malaridhu

Rasaathi Unna Kaanaadha Nenju - Keyboard Instrumental

I play the keyboard a bit and here goes an instrumental version of this song using my Yamaha keyboard. I got inspired after listening to Tailgunner and wanted to try it out myself.

The voice I chose on the keyboard was a rock guitar as I thought it suited well for this song.

Hope you like it .. you comments are most welcome!.

Raja Enbar Mandhiri enbar !

When philosophy mixes with Ilayaraaja's music it is sure to move us!. However, this one could be mistaken for a MSV composition too!. Thanks to Sowmya for suggesting this song that she likes a lot!. This timeless melody is a rare one and veterans SPB/Janaki have just sprinkled their genius on it. Hope you will enjoy our rendition too!. Feel free to comment.

Namma ooru singaari !

"After a bit of a gap, I got hold of this racy track and started to gel with it .. and so here it is .. Namma MSV/SPB paatu from the hit movie Ninaithaaley Inikkum. The track is not the original but does the job pretty well and at a tempo which is slightly faster than the original. If you like spicy dishes you might well dig into this one!!.

Here is a little riddle: MSV has very cleverly composed it in a scale that you will not even guess initially, because of the racy nature of the song. Can you identify this raga (scale) name? Both north and south classical have their names for this scale.

Sangeedha Megam

Hi Friends,

Managed to record this yesterday and thought it was safe to post without major harm to precious ears!!.

OK I am still stuck in the MSV & IRR era .. no apologies for that!. Just love IRR's BGMs more than the actual song in this one. What a miracle it is to hear!. The harmonies in this song are simply awesome to hear with so many runs of high and low strings. You can really hear the 60 member rich orchestra in this one. The sound engineer must have had a field day mixing all this!. This is truly a masterpiece.

As this is a happy stage song (acted by 'Mic Mohan' in the movie!) I felt free and at liberty to adopt whatever came to me; in fact a few 'accidents' happened along the way and I decided to just let them be!.

Hope your ears take this well and feel free to vent your comments!.
