Nandu Mahadevan, my friend and a talented Keyboardist with whom I have had the opportunity of performing in many concerts, has a keen ear for harmony and melody. Most of you must be already familiar with the web site gumbals where he and his friends have pooled their talents and put some wonderful music for us to enjoy. Some numbers like "Copa cobana", "Hey undhan walk i paaru" and "Chiku" have been well received by all. I am personally a fan of his base-track scoring abilities. He always comes up with some innovative approaches in the base track and also in the harmony. His voice typically suits many of the 'pop'pish numbers.
Here in the following link he presents a version of "indhak kaadhal" - a poem written by Narayanan Venkitu:
Please listen to his nice harmonious attempt and encourage him to produce more for our listening pleasure !!

ReplyDeleteNandu - Listened to all your work, loved it. My favorite - "Kannadi Maaligai" followed by "Copa Cabana". Most of the songs seem to use similiar kind of instruments and arrangements, hope you would try other ones in future.
ReplyDeleteWaiting to hear "Kathal" in Jo's voice. For a change it would have been nice if Murali could have done that song.
When you get the chance, please do visit my blog and let me know your feedback.

Nandu,
ReplyDeleteI wanna know how u get that good sound quality.. i have a psr2100.. but somehow, i feel recording quality is bad.. does it have to do more with the keyboard?..
Murali and Nandu,
ReplyDeleteAwesome work! loved both versions of 'Intha Kathal' song.
Nandu, Have you tried cubase or sonar ? Is Pro Logic/Cool Edit/Wavelab better?
Ajit - My 2 cents, if your keyboard outputs good sound, but still not able to get a clear recording and if you are using a computer for recording then it could be your soundcard. The regular computer soundcard has limited capabilities for recording good quality sound.
ReplyDeleteVery nice tune and nicely sung too by Gumbals.
ReplyDeleteAnd today Jo has sung it as well really nice.!!
Thanks Murali for introducing Nandhu to us.!
hey murali...you bet dude...nandu rocks and of coruse not to metion jo and narayan sirs lyrics..i hope they do a lot more songs and it would be a pleasure to listen to em..great job ppl
