Welcome to Arvind's music page. You can find some of my interesting creations. I am a keen student of world music (don't read too much into the word 'world' ;).

Hope you enjoy them and leave enough in the way of feedback to make my next creation even more enjoyable :)

Have you performed in front of an audience?

For the love of my life, i can't play anything live. I have never been trained in any form of music. It is just out my interest, and determination, i have made thus far :) Special moment : Not along ago, i used to pester my parents (poor them) - as to how film songs, beautifully weave the magic of the raga, without sounding like a carnatic/hindustani composition. Now when i create these concepts based on raga, each and every bit is fulfilling i.e. the process of creation is more fulfulling than the finished product - atleast up until now :)

Your musical influences

Without doubt ARR and IR - the two people who have lured me towards music more than anyother composers. 

With ARR - it is the whole package, his creativity, his sound engineering etc

With IR - it is his amazing talent to showcase the beauty of any raga with simple constructs !

What equipment do you use?

Casio WK 3200, CTK-551 and a pentium-box

Awesome groove...love it...expressive singing...really enjoyed this exotic piece

Kanda naal mudhai has Amritavarshini and also one more raaga. Also i see the influence of Ilaiyaraaja's "Enna Varum Vendum". Brilliant work. This song is the best of this album.

Hi!

I thoroughly enjoyed all songs. All though they sound very novice-like, they are damn good.Nice simple arrangements and compositions are very good. Infact, if you can get the support of any orchestral arranger, these songs can be turned into great numbers, with the help of a good professional studio. They sound better than most of the silly new songs these days. I wish you all the best and more growth in your musical endeavours.

Dawn is a cool beat, sounds like sh***s creepin at the begining, then switches into some other sh***, nice... come by and check "Principle Over Profit" please, thanks.

LOL  yes, i learned that lesson quickly too:  NEVER mix with headphones -- they color the sound and create the illusion of a good mix.  Home stereos do the same thing but not as bad as headphones.

First step is to get some accurate monitors -- Try the M-Audio StudioPro 3 ($100) or the Behringer Truth B2031A ($350)
