"Gumbals" Nandu's take on "indhak kaadhal"

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 !!

Audio post - Flute piece - My first tryst with sequencing in Motif ES

Two months after its arrival, I finally found time time and touched the beauty that is MOTIF ES. The stunning sounds urged me to compose at least a small piece. And here is the flute piece is shudhdha saaveri ragam. Just a "ching chak" with flute and piano. This may be considered a prelude to the music that I may be composing in the future.

Audio post - oru paadalai pala raagaththil

This song finds a place in my SPB list. This was tuned by the composer - G. K. Venkatesh. To read about him and his wonderful compositions in detail, click the songs links in this page. Saravanan, the walking encyclopaedia of film music, has written wonderfully about the discography of GKV.

This song is from an obscure movie "malligai mohini". the song went equally obscure I believe. With people like Udhaya and Saravanan around, there is no dearth for "new" old song surprises. It went into my "to sing" list, the moment I heard it (may be a year or two back). I was given this link for the telugu version:

It has been sung by G. Anand - never heard of him - who has done a nice job too. Let me know how my attempt sounds.
