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 :)

Anusha's voice on this song has come out very well, her husky tone
probably one of the best elements in the song.

Sapthaswarangal Third Demo ( Viralodu Uravadum)



This is the third demo that we did for sapthaswarangal. So far no reject / no approval from Sun TV people.. Dunno if they wil accept this one. We initially did a scratch for 2 mins.. They heard the track and asked us to do an One min version of the song. So this is wat we did. Song Sung by Ashok(ashok.gopi@gmail.com), VijayNarain (r_vijaynarain@yahoo.com) and Aruna. Vijay and Aruna are Praveen's Juniors in college. They both are very good singers. Ashok and Aruna are the lead singer and vijay and Shyam has backed them up.
We wanted to add some Veena to this in some places but we couldnt get hold of someone who could play a veena :( . We've used some accoustic kits from Roland-Fantom XR, the patches are good but still we are looking for some better accoustic kit patches so that it will sound more realistic in some places :) . Anyways lets see wat SUN TV ppl thinks about this one. We are still waiting for our results :))

Sapthaswarangal Demo 2


Sapthaswarangal is a popular music based TV show. We were asked to do a title song for their new season. The first demo that we gave to them was rejected for some reason. This is the second one.. and they dint like this one too as they felt this might not be suitable for show title song.. They felt it had some romantic flavour in it.. so asked us to do another one... Anyway this is the second demo that we gave it to them. Its kinda classical based tune.

Mandhamarutham


This is a 20 sec jingle that we did for Praveen's College cultural fiesta.. 'Mandhamarutham' is the name of the cultural prog.. its actually a sanskrit word and means 'Slow and gentle breeze' ... but the song doesnt go slow :) .. its a little fast one . Song sung by Shyam,Ashok and Suganya. Ashok is Praveen's college mate and he is a very good singer and has a beautiful voice. He sounds like Unnikrishnan(Playback singer) at times, but he doesnt do that purposely :) May be because both Ashok and Unnikrishnan learnt carnatic from the same guru (Ashok's Grandmother). Suganya is Praveen's Junior in college and she is a good singer too.

Vocals: Shyam, Ashok & Suganya

Podhum Manasey


Started this song before we started on the vectone news project... So once we completed the news we completed this track. We did some log drum loop using fruity loops but felt difficult to balance it.. its taking up so much space in song and i think we also used some ethnic strings tones from hypersonic and some arps form xphraze... Well i guess this is the first song we did using Nuendo. Dint find much difficult in using Nuendo as its interface is very similar to Cubase SX.
