    Kalyani 2

    Much better recording quality. Used my PC line-in from my keyboard Yamaha E 403. Still trying to figure out getting the midi file out of the instrument. The software that came with the keyboard sucks! Anyway, hope you like this version.

    Kalyani

    Yeah, recorded it straight off the keyboard using a headphone mic. So obviously the audio is bad and has a lot of ambient noise. But I want to bounce it off you and hear from you on what you think about the piece. It is pretty catchy and all but can do with some layering. I want some help in recording it too so if you have any expertise (no I am not talking of doing it in a studio, just my comp and keyboard) let me know. Also, if any of you is an exponent of Carnatic vocals, let me know, I need to add some vocals too. Ok, hope you like it.

    Un Sirippinil...

    Beautiful song. Timeless. I don't care too much about the lyrics but the music is cohesive, stirring, and evocative. Listen to it. Now. Pay attention to the Sax piece and the groovy guitar riff that follows. Harris Jeyaraj! Are you okay?

    She was over priced...

    ...but you know how it works. On a warm Sunday evening I stepped out having made up my mind about quenching that desire. My budget was 3000 bucks. So I walk in and this short, frail guy pops up and says 'Imported or local?' I settled for imported, I mean what the heck!
    And then I saw her. I fell for her curves and the dusky posterior. The guy pimping her said 'you have five minutes to decide saar.' I asked him if I could check her out. He agreed. She fell into my lap and as I ran my fingers through her I was entranced and transported into a myriad, ecstatic place and time... And the guy said '6000 Rupees sir.' For one fleeting moment I thought maybe I was doing the wrong thing, but then it was too late. I was in love!
    Why don't you take a look at her?
