Colors of the World - a music by Sonaljit

Entered in the first round ballot of the 56th Grammys®. From New Age instrumental album - Dreaming the Afterlife https://soundcloud.com/sonaljit/sets/dreaming-the-afterlife In Bengali, nodi stands for river, and ontoheen stands for endless. This music is inspired from a certain genre of Bengali folk songs known as bhatiali songs. They are usually written about the lives of boatmen (called majhi in Bengali) who spend their lives fishing in river waters. The songs usually depict the hardships they face. Often the lyrics emphasize on the concern of their beloved ones while they row their boats against waves and tides. The word bhatiali is derived from bhata, which means ebb tide. From Instrumental Album 'Dreaming the Afterlife'

Sonaljit - Dreaming the Afterlife

Ever since I heard the MTV unplugged live performance of 'tu hi re', by Hari Haran/Leslie duet, I have been longing to make a cover of it. And I came up with this finally :). I recorded my voice through iphone, while holding on the strings in keyboard; then added the piano, and other sounds later. All music in this video have been played, programmed, sequenced, orchestrated in my home studio using my keyboard (M-Audio key station pro 88) and computer (Garageband/Reason). No music has been cut or used from the original soundtracks. In between the video, I put slideshows containing some random photographs that I took during my travel experiences in India and US. For vocal practices, I took help from the original song, and previous 'tu hi re' covers by Purnash Durgaprasad - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui8VPm6Vxpk and Aviral Bajpai - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UbpONvwKZY . (I personally believe, Purnash's cover is the absolute best that you will find on youtube, so do check out his video!). # Apologies to my Tamil brothers and sisters. I probably couldn't get the accent in the first four lines correct. I am Bengali, so had to memorize the accent from the original Tamil version 'Uyire'. # You might be surprised to know that the flute sound I used here is not an Indian bansuri, but a Japanese Shakuhachi. I would have definitely used the bansuri in case I had professional bansuri player, or an authentic digital Indian woodwinds library, but I don't. It's way too expensive. In short, enjoy !

AR Rahman's Tu Hi Re cover - Sonaljit

Subscribe to my facebook page for more - www.facebook.com/music.sonaljit I decided to make a cover for Rahman's Vandemataram, before performing it at a show in Rhode Island the next day. All music in this video, are digitally synthesized, played and programmed using M-Audio keystation pro 88 (midi keyboard with hammer action piano keys), Garageband and Reason. I slightly modified the ending of the original song, based on a performance we did during college days back in India.. This was recorded 1 note below, on C#. Voice was recorded through iphone, so may not be upto the mark.. # Long Live India, my motherland. Jai Hind.
