Minchagi Neenu - A Super Hit Kannada Song

Its been more than a year since I moved to Bangalore. I need to travel an hour to reach my office and I use my company transportation for the same most of the time. So I do have a lot of oppurtunity to listen to Kannada songs which are being broadcasted in FM stations. Although I dont understand the language much , I used to enjoy the tunes and sometimes ask my friends about the meaning of these songs and understand them. When I hear some of them, I used to feel like trying out them.

The song which I present here today is a super hit song 'Minchagi Neenu Beralu' from the film 'Gaalipata' sung wonderfully by none other than Sonu Nigam who has become an integral part of the Sandalwood film industry. This song is penned by Jayant Kaykini and beautifully composed by B Harikrishna who is a leading music director in Kannada film industry. Please let me know how you all like this.

Raaga Bhaavam - Sindhubhairavi

I have always been captured by stupefaction looking at the limitless possibilities of expressing myself, through my music. Our traditional Carnatic Music has really amazing capabilities of bringing in as many varieties or as many ‘shaili’s as there are number of musicians!! So to say, each and every artiste has her/his own different style which emerges out of their inner soul that merges seamlessly with their recital.

Manodharmam is such a beautiful and distinguished unique aspect of classical music. I cannot express my state of mind, as an unheard new ‘sangathi’ flows out of my heart to my throat as I am improvising the manodharmam in a concert! As though, the omnipresent one has chiselled it from a portion of my heart, prompting me to present it to the world. That is where we fail to recognise the boundary where music blends into the power, the power which moves the world; where does it start, where does it end? Can anyone separate the two and tell the world what is what? I thank with all my heart, my God, who has blessed me with Himself, with music...I thank from the bottom of my heart, my Guru, late Mr. Shri Vaikom Gopalakrishnan who made me realise the vastness of Carnatic Music.

With blessings from each one of my Gurus and all who have always supported me, I would like to start an endeavour to bring out each raga the way each one of them have touched me and left their mark on me...I would rather call this as “Raaga Bhaavam”..This time it is Sindhubharavi in the form of aalaap initially which flows in to the famous Shloka “Shivam Shivakaram Shaantham Shivaathmaanam Shivothamam Shivamaarga Pranethaaram Pranathosmi Sadaashivam”. It is totally unplanned. It just happened....I have also sung the krithi “Gangaadheeshwaram...” towards the end.

Your feedbacks are very important for me. That is how I have improved along my way..

Back to Blogging - Oru Venalpuzhayil from Pranayakalam

Back to blogging again.After moving to Bangalore I din't have a way to record songs. Recently I bought a Creative E-MU USB Sound card and a condenser microphone thinking that I could restart blogging and also this can help me in recording scratch versions of songs for other projects as well. And today I am presenting the first song which I have recorded and mixed at my home. Its been very interesting to play around with the software to try out various things.

The song which I present here today is 'Oru Venal Puzhayil' from the film Pranayakalam composed beautifully by Ouseppachan on the lyrics of Rafeeque Ahmad. This is a superhit song originally sung beautifully by Ranjith. Please let me know how you all like this one. I would like to hear about the recording and mixing aspects too since I am pretty new to this.
