Ragasiyam
Ragasiyam is our most recent track, a love duet. We wanted to do a
ballad, but not sure how close we came to one! Tones are primarily
from the Fantom rack, korg TR rack, xphraze,Kontakt and hypersonic. We still feel we could have programmed more interesting rhy :)
Credits
Female vocals : Anusha Pradeep
Male vocals : Shyam
Flute : Praveen
Lyrics : Rangan (a.k.a Barathi Maalu)
Music : shyam prasan and praveen
Song Recorded and Mixed at TSJ STUDIO ,Chennai
Anusha's voice on this song has come out very well, her husky tone
probably one of the best elements in the song.

guys
The song has come out nicely
anusha's voice is the x factor this song.
well done.
Are guys big time into soft syths ?
Fantastic guys , so refreshing.! Anusha's voice is very nice indeed
and so it Shyam's voice.!
Fantastic team work, loved the music and the lyrics.!
stupendous...fantastic...killer song folkss..killer indeed...loved everything from the orchestration to the vocals...awesome work indeed
Very nice work! Great to see ppl experiment with stuff.
Aside, I love the details that you provide in the site. In addition to this can you ppl provide more info on the raaga(s) used? A general write-up on how it all started, how you introduced new things at each moment of the song whenever something significant changes in the song. ;-). Ya, asking for too much :-).
Ossum stuff guys...first time coming here...real kewl piece...will watch out this space.
nice stuff ppl, anusha does have an amazing voice! but still thought the song lacked something, dnot know what exactly, maybe too much techno im not sure..
Hey Team,
Great work,routed here from Anup and Narayanan Venikitu'z blog world..!
Nice duet,truely professional and a great clarity mixing,Nice male and female voice'z..
Great team effort..!!
Guyz - Now I've come to expect good quality music from you all - and you did meet it. Agree with most others - the lead female vocals stole the show. Constructive critcism: I beleive you guyz could have done better on the charanam lead tune - perhaps done in a hurry may be? It is a little sour in some spots - compared to the nice beginning. How about if you have another go at it - may be re-post at a later date with an alternative charanam - that is if you agree with me.. :)
keep that music coming.

@ganesh
Thanks for the comments :) and yeah, we do use lot of soft synths. Ever since we stumbled upon Spectrasonic's atmosphere/trilogy and stylus, our soft synth collection has been on the increase. The tones that the soft synths have are getting as close to the real instrument as possible, and we figured that some of the soft synth tones are a tad better than the hardware keyboards/sound modules. Though I guess the best part with a soft synth, for us, is that we get to edit the tones much easier.
@NV Sir, Anup, Rams, Kiranz
thankx for the comments..Even ive been telling Anusha that her voice on this song is one of the best parts. Btw, She is a "december season kutcheri singer"!
@Yogi
Even we hve been thinking something is missing, but unable to pinpoint what. Maybe the rhythm? We broke our heads over this more 3 weeks before we put this up here :) heh heh
@Prasanna
Not too sure abt the raaga...traces of Ananda Bhairavi? we find it difficult to stick to one raaga and we end up including a note here and there which is not true to that raaga.
abt how it started...m not too sure :D heh heh. We usually come up with the main melody first (sometimes the second line of the pallavi comes up first) and then try to fix the chords, rhythm, other instruments and the bass lines, mostly in that order. Like for the melange track, we came up with the second line first, on the sapthaswarangal third demo track, the hook like (tanda na na...) came first..
Ofcourse, we keep listening to the tracks again and again, a zillion times, till our neighbours start wondering if something is wrong with us :D, and add layers as and when we think of something. It is a very slow process for us actually.
Thanks for listening in :)
@Nandu,
Thanks for the comments. Yes. We do need to get back to that charanam some time and try to fix it up. We have been thinking that this song has been lacking something, but not sure what. Will keep you posted when me make the changes.
@tsjstudio,
Ofcourse, we keep listening to the tracks again and again, a zillion times, till our neighbours start wondering if something is wrong with us :D, and add layers as and when we think of something. It is a very slow process for us actually.
Wow!
Thanks for listening in :)
Aah.. Its my pleasure!
Thanks to Anup for introducing me to TSJ blog page ! You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work !!!!
Great job guys!!! Loved it a lot!
Thanks senthil and thanks Jo.. thanks for listening to our songs.
Is there any reason I am not being able to listen to any of the songs?
Swati.
The player would not play the songs for some reason, but clicking on the download worked. Amazing work guys!!! Anusha has beautifully sung it.
Swati.
Dhool Stuff.... Hey just out of curiosity.. is Anusha Pradeep ex VIdya Mandir, and gran daughter of Mussuri Subramaniam by any chance... the voiceseems so familiar to hers...
Fantastic ! nalla aanandha bhairavi vaadai ! anusha's tamil pronunciation is a little brahminical (notholding this agaisnt her), but she has a sweet voice ! Teh orchestration is awesomely rich and Iti si just a matter of time that you ppl hit it big in film circles (if you are plannign to do). I wish you all good luck !
Dear Guys,
I came her once and heard your songs. Now it seems that I will be glued to your songs forever! Awesome tunes.....Totally different...I just wonder what these will sound like when you get all that you want to use...ie...in a film ambience....yes the charanam needs a litttle tweaking to do. Also the male vocals do not match up to the female....
One more doubt... What the hell are u doing here on blogging world?? You belong to the world of A.R.R & H.J.R....This is not your domain...So I pray that you land up there fast.....
Would love to work with you guys some day...
On a passing note guys...Do not use up all your arsenal...use it sparingly... you will need the best for the immediate future....keep the best for the great oppurtunities that may come up (Will be coming soon...no doubt abt that)
hai friends...
i like all songs......wow..! good works.the vst s coloring the work more professional.Try with the vertual guitar,base and rmx for the acoustic work.good talented people....good sequencing...
anil bs
I got introduced to this blog by my friend Arun and I am hooked!!!!!! Great going guys, and wishing u the best and hope to see u scale heights!!!!!

Though I am not a musical fanatic like many of you people here, I just wanted to say that I liked your tunes and wanted to wish you Good Luck! Keep it up!
@Pradeep ji,
though we are flattered by your comments, honestly, I think its a bit out of place. We are no where in the ARR, HJ league...not even at a striking distance...miles to go...and bridges to build! We learn a lot by just listening to ARR and HJ, in terms of layers, orchestration, chords and mixing, and still have so much to learn.
Really happy that such an experienced and knowledgeable person like you enjoy our tunes. Would be our honour to work with you, do let us knwo when you come to Chennai.
Many thanks
@anil
thanks alot for ur appreciation. Ya vst instrumentls help us alot in improving the quality.. and i just have a small doubt sir.. have u played guitar/keyboard in any television programs.. ur face seems to be very familiar
@pramod & kamal anand.. thanks alot for ur wishes. glad that u liked our songs :). Keep visiting when u find time
Thanks
hai..S.P.P
yes.....you are right.i performed an instrumental music programme[ geetham sangeetham ]in soorya tv for about two years.i played guitar for most of the indian playback singers .....spb.. chitra..hariharan...yesudas..etc...you can see some pics in my blog..
I like your compositions.i also made somany logo musics ,ad musics and tittle musics for tv channels......Your works are amazing. nice to meet u...
anil bs
Hello anil sir.. we are very happy to have ur presence in our blog.. Thanks for ur completements sir. Nice to see u here. :)
TSJ - Isn't it amazing to be in the world of Anil's, Pradip's who area PRO's?
I enjoy listening to several of the audiobloggers in the blog world.
So of many of these young people including your group are amazing. I can see the explosion of creativity !
Very Impressive!
The orchestration is rich, complex sangathis here & there which makes the listener anticipate (-:
Ofcourse both the male and female vocals are awesome! Some of the sangathis in the lines sung by the male ( in the charanam) is plain brilliant!
Good luck with everything!
@NV sir.. yeah sir there are so many talented people in the blogworld. We are very happy to share our music with so many ppl here.
@meera... Thanks alot for ur comments :) all credits goes to singers. they improvised so much on melody.
Guys!
The song has come out really really well!! The song has a fantastic feel!
All the very best guys!
Manoj
TSJ Guys! Where are you these days? Why are you silent. I miss your music very badly.Get going fast.

Shyam

Hi people
I do not know what to give for Christmas of the to friends, advise something ....
Hello. Good day
Who listens to what music?
I Love songs Justin Timberlake and Paris Hilton
I have been listening to this song " Ragasiyum" for the last 3 weeks....every single day...I am in love with the female voice and also the Great Orchestration.One thing i wanna tell you guys..." Dont wait for anything.....You Just Rock" The tune is Melodious....soothing and perfectly executed by all means...My rating - 10/10.
Hi Gautham Bharadwaj..... Happy to see your comments. Thanks alot for spending time in listening to our song and posting your comments here.:)
Got to this page, thanks my old buddy Easwar Chandar. This song is absolutely brilliant. Pls keep it up guys, you guys are sure to be stars someday, hopefully soon.
hi team...first time am listening to your music. Soundtrack generates amazing warmth! very well done. Anusha is sure to go places.
Possible impovements: Song dips in Charanam after a bright interlude start. And the shift to a major chord in the later half of charanam doesnt augur well with the whole song.
Expect a lot more to come from you all!!!!
this is one lovely song!a perfect balance of rhythm and feelings..wow!
Anusha Pradeep's voice has been awesome in this masterpiece.
Shyam is also good, but i need to single out Anusha.
Very raw voice and truly mesmerising in the context of the music.
I am a die hard fan of ARR's tamil oldies. and believe me, i will rate this piece of music along with that Mozart.
Ragasiyam is simply awesome piece of work by you dudes.
Only thing i felt lacking in this one is , Anusha's singing of 'Ragasiyam.....' kept me asking for more !!!
i mean, the verse is repeated just 2 or 3 times, in the music.
I would love to have this one as a 5 min song, instead of the 3 minute one !!
It leaves me craving for more !!
so i keep on listening it many times over ! :-)
Hats off to you guys for this one, too good :-)
Very sweet melody! And I agree with the most recent comment, I'd love the songs to be a full 5mins :)
im addicted to anusha's voice
can u pls let me know how to download the ragasiyam song....can't seem to be able to....
thanx
@anonymous : Download link works for us. Not sure why you are unable to download. Please click on the DOWNLOAD THE SONG link and please let us know if you are still facing problems with it.
Excellent guys. I could see one harish jairaj team :)
One small suggestion:
you guys should think for some music i mean some 30 sec between each saranam. Just throwing my view.
Otherwise the song is great. Mindblowing
Great Job Guyz.
I was complementing Harris for the song, until i came to know it was by you guyz. Anusha's voice is just too good. Hats off to her. Keep it going ... and am sure u guyz are going to end up doing something big.
Thanks for the song
Ramesh.
I heard this song just a month back praising Harris as the net has posted. I should really admit that this song was AWESOME. The lyrics were too good and the female vocie as mind blowing with more maturity involved ! Good going guys...
One small suggestion: If you have a website dedicated to yours, please provide us. If not, do create one and i am sure its going to be a hit.
Congratulations to the team once more.
Regards,
Praga.
WOW... just wow. its beautiful. please continue your awesome work. God bless you all.
ohh btw, how can i get lyrics to this song?
Awesome composition!! I was flat when I heard it for the first time...but that was thro youtube and I started looking fwd for the release of the movie after hearing the track. Anyways...true credits go to you guyz. Anusha's voice just rocks!! Get going!!
I am not a musical fanatic, But the song is really a mesmerizing one.... awesome lyrics, music, vocals.... I'm totally speecless... Brahmas of a perfect duet song... keep going dudes.... All the best.

Great song! I have it on my mp3 player and when it plays, I put it on repeat :)
Hey hi.....TSJ team..... My name is VASAN and i am a sound engineering student studying in australia...I am into programming as well...The ragasiyam song is very good..... The composition is good... You guys have a good carnatic music influence in your compositions...The orchestration is ..hmmmm...If i have to leave a constructive criticism.. I would say your programming has to improve a lot... To be honest, the rhythm sucks at some places... It seems like you have used Latigo loops for your rythm arrangement..... You guys should try some real time sequencing with sampler instruments like NATIVE INSTRUMENTS BATTERY 3...It has real depth...i beleive...i have been programmin with it... I recommend it very strongly. Dulcimer sound in the BGM needs more tweaking.... I mean the way it has been programmed is perfect...The idea is there.. But its just the Tone that lacks professionalism....You have a mesmerising tune here...But there are some unwanted clusters....Like some RMX loops in the BGM...My opinion is you have to do a more REFINED sequencing........ BUT apart from all these flaws....THIS SONG ROCKS......TRULY GREAT..... A MUSICAL TREAT....Keep up the good work....
I also recommend you guys to buy a MAC machine and use APPLE LOGIC in the future with your KORG M3 and motif and a bunch of other Virtual instruments........LOGIC is for musicians like as...IT is really GOOD....
Awesome song. Waiting to hear much more melodies from you guys... Great work
Woah...u guys are SO professional, seriously!!
Refreshing ! Songs are rocking ! Keep going..

TSJ.... Ragasiyam has been rocking me for close to 6 months! I know its very late from my end to post a comment now..anyway..Watz there!!! Superb melody.... Anusha.. the katcheri girl...has done it!! Awesome voice.... Met her in orkut too!!! Shyam's voice is also too good... but Anusha stole the show...I must say!!! Azhagae Azhagae is another gud one guyzz... I am frustrated that all these blunders happened in the media...Ragasiyam a song from Vaaranam Aayiram and all... In my friend circles in Chennai & Bengaluru... ragasiyam is the most played/discussed song nowadays... Right now in US... so not in a position to meet up with u guyz... TSJ Team - I am eagerly waiting from new songs from you this year!!!!
Chalo Keep Rocking,
Nithin Subhakar :)
refreshing...wonderful music..
Wonderful song indeed, I heard it first thinking its Harris Jeyaraj music for VA, later i came acrossed this site. The works are simply amazing, I love the small musical details you give to the songs which adds professionalism.
About:Ragasiyam.
Hi guys,its a wonderful song,sad part is only when people think its by rahman,or harris it becomes popular,
is it composed for any movies or ads?
Joseph SJ Manickaraj,Trichy
Haha..I thought that the Ragasiyam song that you guys did was from the movie Vaaranam Aayiram. Anyways, Iam in total love with the song..its so sweet, the rhythm is fantastic and the blend of music and vocals is just perfect. Moreover, the musical composition is highly professional. Keep up the good work and please do upload your wonderful music. Cheers

Keep up the good work!
Waiting for more of your songs, so that I can add in my playlist

I honestly think you guys should release your own album if you haven't done so already!
I am seriously in love with your music!
