BLS V3

We are back with another song, after a long layoff, thanks to
Blogswara. Last August, we had no idea how we were going to work on a
new song as each of us had become part of different time zones. The
inspiration to work on songs from remote locations came from
Blogswara, where people from different places work together, compose
music and release those songs as an online album through their
website. We were keen to be part of such a venture and started
working on a new song for the release of Blogswara 3 (BLS v3). We
contacted the BLS team and they were kind enough to accept our
contribution for their album (BLS v3).

Initially, it was frustrating working from remote locations. Praveen
and Shyam met in Seattle at Praveen's brother's place and Prasan was
working from our studio in Chennai, India. Interacting through phone,
email, and remote servers, we came up with three different tunes. We
have uploaded scratches of all three songs here. Please don't mind
the poor clarity of these samples as they are very rough scratches and
we did this just to get a feel for how the final song would sound. We
zeroed in on the third option as we wanted to work on a fast song. Recording happened in Seattle, andlater in Logan and Houston. Bulk of the vocal recording was done at
our home studio in Chennai, and also at Sai Presto (thanks to Mujeeb's
sound engineering). Though it was quite difficult for first few days
to co-ordinate work, it was lot of fun after the initial struggle, and
we were excited to hear the final output of the song :).

After we recorded all the tracks we created a rough mix of our song.
Later, we contacted Barath Venkatesan who is a sound engineeer and
asked him if he could help us out with mixing our tracks. He was kind
enough to say Ok. Thanks Barath :).

Once again, many thanks to the Blogswara team for the opportunity, and

Prabhu and Aarthi for the constant encouragement and support, space
