Me Singing....

Soorya Kireedam - Malayalam - In my voice

2010-12-04T23:11:00.000-08:00

I was immediately excited to try this song when Rama Iyer played this to me from her car stereo. So much that it remained looping in my mind all the time for its simple composition and yet soulful rendering by M G Shreekumar.

Sample of a song for the church....

2008-01-18T03:04:00.000-08:00

We have been working on composing choir music or rather Christian music for a church in south Karnataka. The project has been taking a long time since me and Prem have been busy with our own professional lives.

This song is in Kannada (language.) We had the basic tune of the song being sung by choir group over many years. But we wanted to add our own creative background music with our own choice of instruments. So here you hear the unfinished (a lot of editing, balancing, sampling, grooving needs to be done) raw music. The main song is played in Baritone Sax instrument. Rhythm is crude. This will be removed and replaced with actual instruments at the time of recording. Some of the instruments are meant to be replaced by manual playing later on.

Listen and let us know your feel. Thank you.

My earlier post of the same song that was recorded in a professional studio is replaced with one I had sung and recorded earlier in my office :) Yes I stayed overtime till everyone was gone and sang with no inhibitions.

But I leave the comments that was posted by friends for my previous post. It will surely help me improve.

Thanks to Santhosh Iyer for letting me steal the karaoke from his collection on eSnips.

How those humble beginners started off huge businesses in music....read about them and their grand ventures from the scratch....its all just about music and the passion.

[You don't have to be a rock star to make a living from music. Find out how four entrepreneurs have turned their love of music into thriving enterprises.]

Quote: [Passion--that's a given. But you've also got to convince your market of that passion. "If there's a single-most [key to success], I would say perseverance," says Davis. "It's hanging in there and staying with your product and working it. There's nothing in a marketing plan that replaces enthusiasm."]

Ok. I was shut off from Blogging here. Trying my next, a Hindi song. I have lowered shruti a bit to be within reasonable control of my voice. Please excuse my accent here and there...

Movie: Julie
Music: Rajesh Roshan
Orginally Sung by: Kishore Kumar
Orchestration for this song by Ashok (Bangalore)

By the way, Ashok (I dont know his full name) is a genius in orchestrations...He can play around with any musical instruments especially in recomposing these songs to its most accuracy. This karaoke has been originally created by him for us, Prem has done a bit of tuning. Unfortunately, Ashok has chosen Intoxications as his first choice over this (:() Whatta talent wasted!

Please let me know your feel after listening..

Hey, I mean that's the name of the movie "Ninaivellaam Nithya". I have tried to sing this song on the same day I recorded my first post. I was still recouping from flu. You will experience not-so-involved performance of me in this. However I was thrilled to see variations being sung by other guys on the blogs. Check their blogs in the following links. Intoxicating musical effect and tune, by the genius Ilayaraja.

So this is again ILayaraja's super super super composition. Evergreen. On the lines of his extravaganza in "PayaNangaL mudivadillai" he has utilised guitar to a great extent. Every instrument blends so well with the other and his playing around with the raaga is just beyond something..hmm!!!

Ninaivellaam Nithy...

Also listen to other variations of the same song. Very creative work here.

Another iLayaraja hit. But no background Music this time.

2007-04-19T12:23:00.000-07:00

I do not know much background about this song, but its from a tamil movie "Pagalil oru Iravu" (a night in the day.) I have no background music for this. Believe me its 1 am now and I just finished recording with my headset and did couple of editing using audio software....and here it is.

My voice was literally dead for more than 3 weeks from cold and flu. It was painful having voice box infected. Now just today I find my voice sounds clear (only after my recording of previous post) from infections. Hopefully you like it even with nothing much in it.

According to little research I made, this controversial movie was made by ace director I V Sasi, with Sridevi and Vijayakanth in the lead. SPB has sung this originally. I just love the song and wanted to sing it. If you like the tune of this song, for a better effect on you listen to the original on http://www.raaga.com/channels/tamil/movie/T0000132.html

My first attempt to sing along Karaoke music for a blog. This is a song from NiLhalgaLh one of the Ilayaraja's greatest hits. Excuse my performance in this song. I will repost with better effort soon.
