After nearly 2 months, being out of station.. I have returned back with a Jingle that was composed by me for a local radio channel. However the same wasn't selected. Hence thought, could make use of it for musionn.This is not a tune that has an adrenalin effect in it. It has an effect of slow poison that would slowly get into your mind like ARR's music and that is what an advertisement should have in it . I believe in it.

SHRIMATHI.DK PATAMMAL....THE LEGEND

2007-08-13T10:31:00.000+05:30

The vocalist Shrimathi.Damal Krishnaswamy Pattammal is one of the most popular and respected Carnatic musicians. Pattammal and her contemporaries M. S. Subbulakshmi and M. L. Vasanthakumari were popularly referred to as the "female trinity of Carnatic Music. This trio initiated the entry of women into mainstream Carnatic Music.

Shrimathi.DK Pattammal was born on March 28, 1919 at Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu, India. She gave her first public performance in Chennai at the age of 14. She quickly rose to stardom, and her musical career has spanned more than 65 years. DK Pattammal amma in concert with her brother, DK Jayaraman; circa early 1940s.Pattammal's sweet disposition and humble nature belie the fact that she started a few revolutionary trends in Carnatic music. She is the first Brahmin woman to have performed this music publicly, both on stage and on air. Brahmins ranked as the highest in the caste hierarchy prevalent in India in the early 20th century, and society considered it taboo for a Brahmin woman to perform on stage. Furthermore, Pattammal is also the first woman to have performed Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi on stage. Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi (or Pallavi) is the most difficult concert item in Carnatic music. Before Pattammal, it classed as a male stronghold. Not only did Pattammal amma boldly venture into Pallavi-singing, but she also performed very complex Pallavi-s in intricate Talas (rhythmic cycles) impressively enough to earn the respect of her male peers. For this reason, she became dubbed “Pallavi Pattammal”. Today, many female Carnatic musicians perform Ragam-Tanam-Pallavi as the main item in their concerts.

Pattammal popularized many compositions of Muthuswami Dikshitar and Papanasam Sivan. Particularly, she has a reputation as an authority on the compositions of Muthuswami Dikshitar. She has learnt authentic versions of Dikshitar's compositions from Ambi Dikshitar (Dikishitar's grand-nephew)[4] and from Justice T. L. Venkatrama Iyer.

Pattammal has performed in numerous venues throughout India, the United States, and other countries. Although she received many offers to sing for films, she only accepted those which involved the singing of devotional or patriotic songs. She has popularized several nationalistic compositions of Subrahmanya Bharati, and other composers.

Pattammal has received several awards and titles throughout her career. Most notably these include the title “Gana Saraswathi” bestowed on her by the musician Tiger Varadachariar, the Sangeetha Kalanidhi (considered the highest accolade in Carnatic music) in 1970, the Padma Bhushan from the Government of India in 1971, and the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian honor, in 1998.

Pattammal possesses a full-throated voice in the low alto/high tenor range. Her outstanding musical qualities include an overwhelming technical expertise, an uncompromising adherence to pitch and rhythm, and clear enunciation of lyrics. Her performances of shlokas and viruttams (poetry or verse sung improvisationally without rhythmic accompaniment) express great emotion. She also has a reputation as a very disciplined musician. As a child she woke up before dawn and practised for hours. Throughout her performing career she meticulously planned her concert items weeks in advance and practised rigorously

Pattammal's style of singing attracted many students, foremost among them her younger brother D.K. Jayaraman, who sang with her in several concerts, and who himself received the Sangeetha Kalanidhi in 1990. A few of her other popular students include Lalitha Sivakumar, Geetha Rajashekar, Nithyasree Mahadevan, and Bhavadhaarini Anantaraman.

SHRI.PAPANASAM SIVAN.... THE LEGEND

2007-08-09T10:38:00.001+05:30

Papanasam Sivan was born as the second son of Ramamritha Ayer and Yogambal Ammal at Polagam in Tanjore District on 26.9.1890. His parents gave him the name of `Ramayya’. He came to be called Papanasam Sivan by the inhabitants of `Ganapathy Agraharam’ Tanjore district in 1912 when they were all attracted to the Sivan temple in that village at dusk, while Sivan was praying to the Deity singing `Arum Ponne Maniya’ with a voice full of fervor; they exclaimed that Lord Siva himself had descended to earth from Kailasam, as it were, in the shape of that youth.

He lost his father when he was six years old, and since the family was afflicted by adversity, Sivan, his mother and elder brother migrated to Trivandrum, the “Dharma Rajya”. They found subsistence in the `Ootpura’ of the Maharaja. While at Trivandrum, Sivan came under the influence of eminent musicians Noorani Mahadeva Bhagavathar, Samba Bhagavathar and Karamanai Neelakanta Dasar. While at Trivandrum, Sivan studied in the Maharaja’s Sanskrit college and obtained the title `Upadhyaya’. Beyond this he had no schooling at all.
Sivan’s mother, who had a gifted sweet voice for music, had learnt more than 600 songs of the famous composers of the day. Sivan imbibed this talent hereditarily from his mother and his maternal grandfather, who was also a good musician.

Having lost his mother in 1910, at Trivandrum, Sivan returned to his native district with his brother. He used to tour the district by foot and conduct bhajans in all the temple festivals. By singing his own compositions as devotional songs rapturously, he used to attract large crowds. Among them were the Saptha Sthanam at Tiruvaiyaru, and the Adi Pooram at Nagapattinam. From 1912 to 1959 without break he attended Saptha Sthanam festivities. During Margazhi, every year he conducted Giri Pradakshinam around the four Mada streets of Sri Kapaleeswarar temple at Mylapore, right from 1930 when he came to Chennai (then called Madras), till 1972. He passed away on 1-10-1973.

He started composing songs as early as in 1910 and he used to sing them himself. While singing he always closed his eyes and he had expressed that he was on such occasions in communion with god. It was in this decade that he came to be acquainted with Koneirarajapuram Vaidyanathaier, a faithful exponent of Carnatic music and acclaimed to be the greatest musician of the times. Vaidyanathier took kindly to Sivan and was overawed by his compositions in Tamil and Sanskrit hearing them sung by Sivan himself.

As a composer “Sivan ranks with the great giants who followed the trinity in the middle of the ninetheenth century”. He did not use any lexicon or dictionary for choosing rhyming words. Almost all eminent vidwans of yester years, viz. Ariyakuri Ramanuja Iyengar, Maharajapuram Vishwanatha Iyer, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Musiri Subramania Iyer, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer and others have sung numerous compositions of Sivan in their performances. Sivan’s compositions cover a wide gamut of songs ranging from varnams, krithis, and operas to padhams and javalis. His daughter Dr.Rukmini Ramani has published his compositions in book form. Six volumes of his compositions have been published so far.

After about 10 years of relentless work and purposeful concentration, Sivan compiled and brought out a rhyming Sanskrit Dictionary titled `Sanskritha Bhasha Sabhta Samudhraha’ in 1952 (Vadamozhi Sorkadal). The last works of Sivan were `Sri Rama Charitha Geetham’, the Ramayana epic sung in 24 stanzas in 24 ragas and `Kaaraikkal Ammaiyar Charitham’. Both these operas have published in book form.

Sivan composed songs for films, for about 15 years from 1936, charging spiritual fervor into them and this was responsible for phenomenal success of many film producers. Reluctant as he was to mix with the motley crowd of artists, he was prevailed upon by a close friend and well-wisher a Cine Director late K.Subramaniam to agree to play a few roles in cinemas. He acted in 4 films, `Bhaktha Kuchela’, `Thiyaga Bhoomi’, `Bhaktha Chetha’ and `Kubera Kuchela’ all of which were hits. The roles suited him admirably and it was the unanimous verdict of critics that he alone could have lived in these roles.

Sivan was a recipient of a few titles. In 1950 the Indian Fine Arts Society honored him by conferring him the title `Sangeetha Sakithya Kala Sikhamani’. At the celebrations of the 60th birthday of Sivan, Kanchi Acharyal blessed him with the titled `Siva Punya Gaana Mani’. The Tamizh Isai Sangam honored him with the title `Isai Peraignar’. The Music Academy honored him with the title “Sangeetha Kalanidhi”. He was admitted as a `Fellow’ of the Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi. In 1962 Sivan received the President’s Award. Lastly in 1972, at the age of 82, the Indian Government conferred on him `Padma Bhushan’.

Sivan’s benefactors included Smt. Rukmani Arundale of the Theosophical Society and Kalakshetra, the late Sri. K. Subramaniam, Cine Director, late Sri.S.S.Vasan, Editor of Kalki Sri.T.Sadasivam, Smt.M.S.Subbulakshmi and the Hon. Former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu Dr.M.G.Ramachandran, Tamilnadu State Sangeetha Nataka Sangam and Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi, to name a few.

Personally my father has experience in his teenage of seeing Papanasam Sivan composing krithis on the spot in the margazhi madham bhajanais.

Sivan led a very simple unostentatious life, was very pious by nature, timid and shy to the extent of self-abnegation. Sivan’s bhajanai tradition is continued even today his daughter Dr. Rukmini Ramani.

SHRI.SEMMANGUDI SRINIVASA IYER....THE LEGEND

2007-08-08T10:12:00.000+05:30

Shri.Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer (July 25, 1908 - October 31, 2003) was considered to be one of the greatest Carnatic vocalists of the twentieth century. He was the youngest recipient of the Sangeetha Kalanidhi awarded by the Music Academy then in 1947,[1] has received many awards including Padma Bhushan and Padma Vibhushan from the government of India. He was affectionately addressed as "Semmangudi Maama" (Semmangudi Uncle) by his disciples. He was also considered the "Pitamaha" or the grand sire of modern Carnatic Music.
He was born in Tirukkodikaval, Thanjavur District as the third son of Radhakrishna Iyer and Dharmasamvardhini Ammal. He lived with his maternal uncle Tirukkodikaval Krishna Iyer, a legendary violin maestro, until the age of four and after his death, moved to his parent's home in Semmangudi, Thanjavur District. At the age of eight he started learning music from his cousin Semmangudi Narayanaswamy Iyer, and underwent musical apprenticeship with Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer. In 1926, he performed his first music recital at Kumbakonam.He was known for producing soulful music, highly creative and yet very orthodox, despite a recalcitrant voice.
He was instrumental, along with Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar, for work on the krithis of Maharaja Swathi Thirunal Rama Varma. After attending one of his concerts in 1934, Maharani Sethu Parvati Bai of Travancore was so impressed by his talent and scholarship that she invited him to come to Thiruvananthapuram to edit and popularise the compositions of Swati Tirunal. He succeeded Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar as Principal of the Swathi Thirunal College of Music at Thiruvananthapuram, a post he held for 23 years, until the age of 55. At this age, he handed over his responsibilities to another Carnatic legend, G N Balasubramanian and at the behest of the Government of India, became the Chief Producer of Carnatic music at All India Radio, Madras from 1957 to 1960. In later life, he concentrated on concert performances and tutoring youngsters. He gave public concerts even after the age of 90.Semmangudi mama was widely renowned for his virtuosity as a concert performer. He was famous for the meticulous planning that he put into every concert, including the choice of krithis, raagas and duration.He was also widely acknowledged as a master of improvisation, particularly in the form of niravals

M.S.SUBBULAKSHMI...THE LEGEND

2007-08-07T18:20:00.000+05:30

Madurai Shanmukhavadivu Subbulakshmi (September 16, 1916 - December 11, 2004) was a renowned Carnatic vocalist. Her mother tongue was Tamil. She was the first musician ever to be awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honor.

M.S.Subbulakhsmi was born to a musical family, in the temple town of Madurai, situated in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India. M.S. started learning Carnatic music from a very early age and released her first recording at the age of 10. She then began her Carnatic classical music training under Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer and then Hindustani classical training under Pandit Narayan Rao Vyas. Her first public performance was during the Mahamaham festival at Kumbakonam. At 17, the child prodigy made her debut at the Madras Music Academy. Since then, she performed countless musical forms in different languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Sanskrit and Kannada.

M.S. became famous as a film actress. Her most memorable role was Bhaktha Meera in Meera (1945). The movie had M.S. sing the famous Meera bhajans, with Dilipkumar Roy as the music director. Those renditions by M.S. continue to enthrall listeners to this day. Following the success of the film she quit films and turned wholly to concert music.In total she has acted in five films spanning a decade. The list includes Sevasadanam, Savitri, Meera(Tamil) and Bhakti Meera( Hindi).

M.S. met Sadasivam, a freedom fighter, and a follower of Rajaji, in 1936. She married him in 1940 and their marriage spanned over 50 years. They had no children. Sadasivam had children from his previous marriage that M.S. treated as if they were her own children. They were named Radha, Vijaya. M.S and Sadasivam also raised Sadasivam's nephew Ramachandran (Ambi) and niece Thangam, who were orphaned at a young age. Radha frequently sang with M.S. in concert while Vijaya played the Tanpura. They lived in a mansion named "Kalki Gardens", and as Radha, Vijaya, Ambi and Thangam grew up, their children also lived in the mansion with M. S., or as they affectionately called her, Ammu Patti.

M.S Subbulakshmi acted in three Tamil films. Her film 'Meera(1945) was a great hit and even the songs were hot chartbusters in those days. Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru fell in love with M.S 's character played in that movie and appreciated her a lot for her performance and her songs in the movie.She also played the role of Lord Narada in one film.

M.S. travelled to London, New York, Canada, the Far East, and other places as India's cultural ambassador. Her concerts at Carnegie Hall, New York; the UN General Assembly on UN day in 1966 (while U Thant was the Secretary General); the Royal Albert Hall, London in 1982; and at the Festival of India in Moscow in 1987 were significant landmarks in her career.

Mahatma Gandhi was so charmed of her Meera bhajans that he requested her to sing the song Hari Tum haro Jan ki bheer (Lord, please dispel the fear in mankind). A message had been sent to Madras that Gandhiji wished M.S. to render his favourite bhajan, "Hari tum haro", and a response had gone from husband Sadasivam to the effect that since she did not know how to sing this particular bhajan, somebody else could sing "Hari tum haro", and she could sing another bhajan. A reply had promptly come back on behalf of the Mahatma: "I should prefer to hear it spoken by Subbulakshmi than sung by others."

In the late 1950s, as she sang at the Ramakrishna Ashram in Delhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister, was among the audience. At the end of the recital he was so moved that he bowed, and said, "What am I, a mere prime minister before a queen of music (he was to repeat it in every speech of his, praising her)."

Not unexpectedly, "she talks, sings and lives music twenty-four hours a day," and is deeply religious. The puja (prayer) room in her house has three life-size portraits of Sri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati Sankaracharya, the saint whom she calls "divinity in flesh and blood," and who has "been instrumental in restoring the faith and religious temperament of the people of Madras and reclaiming many to the path of God" in recent years. As her guru, he selected the verses for the highly popular record she made in 1970 of the Bhajagovindam (some 30 verses composed by the poet-philosopher Sankara in praise of Lord Krishna, which are both musical and of much philosophical content) and Vishnu Sahasranamam (a musical chant of the 1,000 names of Vishnu, one of the three main gods of the Hindu pantheon).

While Lata Mangeshkar called her Tapaswini (the Renunciate), Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan termed her Suswaralakshmi (the goddess of musical notes), and Kishori Amonkar labeled her the ultimate eighth note or Aathuvaan Sur, which is above the seven notes basic to all music. Her many famous renditions of bhajans include the chanting of Bhaja Govindam, Vishnu sahasranama (1000 names of Vishnu) and the Venkateswara Suprabhatam (musical hymns to awaken Lord Balaji early in the morning).

An EMI record of MS SubbulakshmiShe was widely honored, praised and awarded. Some of them more popular ones include Padma Bhushan in 1954, Sangeetha Kalanidhi in 1968 (literally, Treasure Chest of Music. She was the first woman recipient of the title), Ramon Magsaysay award in 1974, the Padma Vibhushan in 1975, the Kalidasa Sanman in 1988, the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration in 1990, and the Bharat Ratna in 1998. She was also honored as the court-singer of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.

Although she was bestowed with enormous prize moneys on these awards, she donated most of them to charity.

She was an ardent devotee of Kanchi Mahaswamigal and she rendered his composition Maithreem Bhajatha (O World! Cultivate peace) in her concert at the UN in 1966. She donated many of the royalties on several best sold records to many charity organizations.

With the death of her husband Sadasivam in 1997, she stopped all her public performances. M.S.Subbulakshmi died on December 11, 2004 after a brief illness, due to complications relating to pneumonia and cardiac irregularities.

Hope you enjoyed the information about the legend Bharat Rathna Shrimathi. M.S. Subbulakshmi.

Though technology has improved so much I am not sure if some one has done this as Mr.Bharadwaj. "May Madham 98l major aanene" from Jay Jay has interlude that does not make sense like all Harris songs that has one atleast. As soon as I heard this song from Jay Jay in 2004 i had a small thought if they have reversed the first line of the song. To my surprise I was right. It did suit the song very well. So started checking all the harris songs songs too but they weren't this way. Just select the first line of the song and reverse it with any of the music softwares you use and you will find it.... :)

After seeing the video posted before, tried playing the arabian music in my keyboard with the Voice (Classic Guitar). Hear it.

Excellent Guitar...

Happened see this video by chance with the title "PACO DE LUCIA-MALAGUENA DE LECUENA"
Now I am not sure what does that mean..I hope PACO DE LUCIA must be the name of the artist and the remaining must be the name of the song he plays. What ever be the case.. playing is just amazing.

My Kutcheri..

2007-04-19T19:46:00.000+05:30

It was in the year 1999 when I did my last kutcheri . I do not know whether is it the disinterest or anything else that stopped me by doing kutcheris all these days. This time I should thank my friend Keerthi and his parents for encouraging and pushing me hard. KB along with his parents again were a source of hope . I was really surprised with the hope and confidence that they have on me . My Aththai - Mrs. Hemalatha Kannan along with my parents who have helped me in learning music are to be thanked a tonne . I feel that I should definetly grow to their expectations. Pls find one of the songs from the kutcheri

Oru Koodai Sunlight.....Sivaji

2007-04-13T09:55:00.001+05:30

Two songs from Sivaji that have become my favourite after hearing it 3 to 4 times. Oru kudai sunlight and Balleilakka are those which I had to force myself to listen and then it becomes the favourite one. I could say that the song is definetly not upto the mark what Sahara and Vaaji Vaaji has. However I hope it is A.R.Rehman and Rajini who force many of us to listen the song and not the music . There are many other songs in tamil now that I realise are upto the same standard. So most of them are not true music listeners is I personally feel. May be the one who say Sunlight and the Baleilakka are better than any other tamil film music would be a person with more affinity towards ARR or Rajinikanth . My say here is not to comment on the Sivaji songs but that we could develop our attitude towards other songs too positively. May be we develop our interests and they would sound good. "Thaaliye theva illa" from thaamirabarani is a better song and though sounded identical with some song is good to hear infact. kaatril from Mozhi is excellent.. Many other would become our favourite but that would depend upon intention and interest .

Vannam Konda Vennilave...Sigaram

2007-04-09T08:55:00.000+05:30

One of the favourite song of mine.. It was actually a great surprise when I heard few years after the release of the film that Mr. S.P.Balasubramanian was the music composer for this film.
All the songs in the film are very good to hear infact. So I have tried singing the song...

Singer Balram....Mozhi

2007-03-12T00:21:00.000+05:30

balaraman voice mp...

Singer Balram has got a very different and a soothing voice. PBS Sir udaya oru chinna resemblence irundhalum he sounds different from all other singers. I have been listening to his songs since paarthale paravasam, however the song in the film Mozhi (kaatril...) is just a class when Balram starts the song and the paalavi of the song is really awesome. Many others songs sung by him to add are Vidai kodu engal naade (Kannathil mutham ittal), Iru kangal sollum..(Kaadhal samrajyam),nee dhaan en dhesiya...(paarthale paravasam), Pani kaatre..(Run) and many more. I have alredy become a fan of Mr. Balram

A.R.Rehman Song endings...

2007-03-06T23:50:00.001+05:30

ARR SONGS ENDINGS....

This music really made me dance in the car this morning. All the credit goes to A.R.R for his fabulous music in Muqqabala from kadhalan. There are many other songs in which A.R.Rehman ends the songs not just like that but a music that runs for a minute atleast even after the song is actually over. Three songs that comes to my mind as soon as I think of this.

Any other song that comes to your mind ?

Chithiram Pesudhadi.....Sabash meena

2007-03-05T10:44:00.000+05:30

Chithiram Pesudhadi is one of my favourites from the Old film Songs. The song in the voice of Thiru. T.M.Soundarajan actually just melts. Ihave tried my part. Listen to it.

2007-03-03T00:43:00.000+05:30

Poongatru Pudhiraa...

Munish is my class mate in higher secondary. I was not so aware that he is interested in music so much. with his Keyborad he has composed the Poongaatru song (Only pallavi) . Just an intro I would say...Many more to hear from him.

Aaj Se Pehle......Chitchor

powered by ODEO

I still remember those childhood days when my father hears to the songs of Chitchor in his Bush (bed type) tape recorder. This being his favourite along with other songs in the film is also my favourite for its music and lyrics and most important is K.J. Yesudas's voice that melts in all the songs infact.The credit for the music definetly goes to Mr. Ravindra Jain. I am not sure if such good lyrics are still written these days.

aaj se pahale, aaj se jyaadaa, khushee aajatak naheen milee
itanee suhaanee, ayesee mithhee, ghadee aajatak naheen milee

is ko sanjog kahe yaa, kismat kaa lekhaa, hum jo achaanak mile hain
manachaahe saathee paake, hum sab ke chehare dekho to kaise khile hain
takadeeron ko jod de ayesee kadee aajatak naheen milee

sapanaa ho jaaye wo pooraa, jo hum ne dekhaa, ye mere dil kee duwaan hain
ye pal jo beet rahe hain, in ke nashen mein, dil meraa gaane lagaa hain
isee khushee ko dhoondh rahe the, yahee aajatak naheen milee

dil mein toofaan uthhaa hain, hothhon pe nagmaa, aakhon mein aansoo khushee ke

Illayaraja has got the most different as well as a soothing voice as a music director. you could hear to his voice above from few of his songs sung by him. Kandippa sruthi ettalena kuda adhu oru sugam dhaan ivar paadinal. The first one is the best of Illayaraja I would say. There are many more to be covered in musioinn about this great personality as a musician and nuances handled in his works.

Vaigasi Nilave....

powered by ODEO

Hear to this small piece (1st audio) from the song Vaigasi Nilave from the film Unnale Unnale. Harris in this has given a kind of music that he has never tried in any of his songs. Usually he sticks to his same kind of music . But when one hears to this without any introduction would feel that this should be composed by the maestro. I hope Harris is slowly coming out from his usual trends of Music composing. Havinglistened to that now listen to the the second audio from Rangeela (Jaane Kaisa hei) by A.R.R. Hope differences are very less. This is how great people think alike I suppose.

Uyirum Neeye - Pavithra - A.R.Rahman

2007-02-01T10:37:00.000+05:30

powered by ODEO

Uyirum Neeye Udalum neeye is one of the best compositions of A.R.Rehman from the film Pavithra (Starring : Ajith , Radhika). The song is sung by one of my favourite singer Unnikrishnan. Hope , this is his second song after Ennavale Ennavale from Kaadlan. This song is not known by all as I have experiences people asking me "Is it a devotional song". Well, it is, in a way. This is a song in praise of a mother. "God cannot be everywhere, so he created moms" - is a famous quote. You will find references to this quote in this song. Infact this song was given a National award. I've attempted the song in my voice, and my own BGM. Do listen to it.

As I said earlier Harris has started with a very different music in Pachai kili Muthu Charam. A violin that is really good and does not sound like Harris kind of music. I hope even the songs are good. you could hear the violin here

Unnaale Unnaale - Harris Jeyaraj

2007-01-16T00:13:00.000+05:30

Was hearing to the songs of Unnaale Unnaale. The usual Harris Jeyaraj Style and kind of music. However doesnt make someone

feel uncomfortable on hearing the music. Six tracks and they sound as if we have already heard many of these kinds from Harris Jeyaraj. I think Harris should show some difference and versatility in his music to maintain his stand in the market for a long time. Have heard people talking to each other about the music "Adhey Harris jeyaraj style da..." Lets see as to how Pachai kili muthucharam comes out.

Last night, while visiting the Creative site , got this new Demo version of Creative Sound Blaster X-fi. A demo application to play your mp3 music that sounds equivalent to a 5.1 DVD audio. Really had a doubt as to how could this work, but after hearing Karkka karkka from Vettaiyadu vilayadu and Manjal Veyil Yes, it just sounds excellent. There is for sure a difference between the mp3 played in Creative X-fi version and other applications. The caption for this product is "Hear to believe".

MY GURU

2007-01-01T10:48:00.000+05:30

I learnt music from my Grand father Shri. Thiruvayaru.S.Krishnamurthy who is a vidwan in vocal, veena and harmonium. A person of hardwork and confidence taking music classes till his age of 88. Even now at the age of 94, being bed ridden I could find him singing and revising his knowledge by practising . A lot to learn from him .

At present , My aththai Mrs. Hemalatha Kannan is my guru. She has done her M.Phil in music. A very knowledgeable person. Could make anyone addicted to her scintillating voice. She has won twice in the all india music competition. Many more about her works and voice will be posted very soon in this blog.
