Kanavaa, New Channel ID & News

Finally the three of us got together after a period of 16 months! Sure it was a long and painful gap for us. We (Shyam and Praveen) went to India during our month long fall break. We also upgraded our studio with new equipment. Two new workstations (Korg M3 Workstation and a Yamaha Motif XS), a new condenser mic, and a pre amp are welcome additions to TSJ STUDIO :). The keyboards are really great but we didn't get enough time to explore them fully. However, we did manage to do some music. Composed two songs and two jingles.
Thanks to our singers, instrumentalists and lyricist for coming by our place and helping us for without them we wouldn't have been able to finish these songs/pieces.

Song recorded and mixed at TSJ STUDIO, Chennai.

Started of with this one(probably the next day we landed in Chennai). It took us a long time to finalize the tune. All three of us were totally out of form (reminded us of Rahul Dravid at Melbourne!) and it took us few days to come back to our normal groove. Also had to spend a long time in learning the new synths and browsing through those tone banks and effects.

Karthik Krishnamurthy is Shyam's cousin. He is currently in SFO and he does quite a few stage shows in and around SFO. Luckily he had been to Chennai that time and we called him to sing this song for us. Thanks so much Karthik, for your time and effort. Hopefully you had a better experience this time around, as compared to the song that we recorded five years ago!

Anusha Pradeep, many thanks to you for rendering your beautiful vocals. Anusha participated in a music competition hosted by Vijay TV ( Vijay TV Paadum Office) and she won the first prize in Carnatic Vocals. Congrats Anusha :).


Channel ID




We started working on the Channel ID and News during Summer 07, but never got a chance to complete it that time.
These two jingles are for a Tamil Channel and for a News Channel and both the channels(managed by same group) are shortly to begin its broadcast in U.S.A.
