Mani
My First Film as a Music Director.This was also a first film for
Yograj Bhat ,Suri who are today the top directors of kannada film
industry.It was an experience which I will never forget.I never
compromised on what I wanted to give and make and I am happy that
people listen to the songs even aftere a decade. I directed Shankar
mahadevan to sing savira nadigellyella ,written by kalyan.Though I
was not happy with the visual I was extremely happy to see my music
on screen. Rajesh Krishnan and MD pallavi sang the duet Nana
Hrudadalli. A super smooth melodious duet that one enjoys
listening. Sadness filled every heart as we recorded Baradae, the
pathos song of the film. Manu balakrishna's voice penetrated every
heart in the studio and not an eye was left dry. Sambhramavo,one of
my fav song sung by my friend Bappi Da with 3 times state award
winner Nandita. A light romantic song that never failed to lighten
the mood. Bengaluru thayee, a real comic tapang song where i had
everyone singing it in the studio.Last but not the least Ratto
Ratto,sung by Chitra. A small rhyme of the childhood and a rain of
peace as we become adults.
Naavika
Navika, a film I did in 2012. There were totally 5 songs including
a version of Telihode. Teli hode Naanu, a duet sung by Badri Prasad
and Chaitra, an amazing blend of melodies and simplicity. Always
relaxing to listen to.
Shankara, my rock tribute to lord shiva sung energetically by
Hemanth of preetsae fame.
Usiraguve, a pathos like no other,slow and smooth and ligering and
makes your heart sing along,beautifully rendered by Badri
Prasad.
Then the last tapang sung by Jogi Sunitha and Hemanth. nice and
pacy
Manasina Puttadalli
Manasina Puttadalli,A film which was done in 2012.
Everyone in this was a fresher.
Needed fresh and native sound.
Happy New Year sung by Chaitra,
The title track was sung by Badri Prasad.
Amazing voice and feel to the song.
A slow romantic song called Mettage sung by harsha,
and a pathos sung by Lakshmi Nagraj .
A another song called naditidae gadi by Reena Raju
which marks her as the first Heart tranplant receipient in the
world to have sung for cinema.
Feel the
world
Feel the world was a amazing project that took almost an year to
complete.
These are songs by Rakesh Salian.
We met one day in a music store and during our
conversation
he expressed his desire to bring out his album.
I invited him to the studio and started to work on the
arrrangement.
It was an experience that cannot be explained by
words.
Feel the world is the title track and each and every song on the
album
right from the Like a River to NH17 were all arranged at a time
when
I was going through a really tough phase of life.
Best is to listen to the tracks and judge for yourself.
Come On India
My tribute and message to my great nation India.Though it took me a few hour to compose and record the song it took me 14 years to release it. I am hopefull of bringing out the video this year
I hope to bring out and release much more music this year.
