Kadhal 420 sings about The Precautions, The fall and The Raise in Love................

In june 2008, i got a call from Mani, my friend/partner asking me to meet Mr.Antony, Manager of Neyam Music channel. Neyam music was in a urge to release an album and they look forward to work with a composer from pondicherry. Myself and My friend Vimal had composed a song named "Freedom" in 2006 for Freedom Jam Event in Pondicherry and later the song was forgotten by me. When Antony met Mani for a business proposal he happen to hear the song and he liked it.So that's how i happen to Rope up with Neyam Music

We had the pooja for the album on 9th july 2008. When i was attending it, i was afraid and had less hope whether i could do my job properly coz i had never done music for someone before. I started believing myself more when i recorded my first song "Mudhal Murai"......................(I had blog ed on each song separately below)

I composed 4 songs for the album. We planned for 6 but due to budget we came up with 3 songs and 1 Theme music. All of the 4 songs had been made video.......will post the youtube song links soon...........My favorite number is Enathuiyirae

The album had a very little budget and we tried to co-operate with that. We made sure that we give opportunities to the people of pondicherry. So we had a audition test in Sound garden Recording Studio and selected 2 singers namely Thiyagarajan and Sowmiya.

Mudhal Murai

First Song of the album Featuring Thiagarajan and Sowmiya as lead vocals and Amaya and Antony as Lead actors. This song is a pattern driven song. All the areas like bass, rythm, arrpegs are created as patterns and used. Some loops of flstudio are also used in the song.
I used Sonic synth vst plugin for chords,bells,synth sounds with my yamaha midi controller. This Hiphop and RnB combination worked for telling the romantic sadness and precaution in Love.

This song was recorded 4 times for the perfection in the Male version

The Voice at the end of song "Kadhal 420" belongs to Yuvaraj of Hello Fm . You might be already familiar with his voce "ithu 106.4......ithu than Right Number"




Enathuyirae Enathuyirae

May be Some songs are destiny.....

This song is 100% manual right from keys to flute. I used a Korg Triton and Korg o1w.
I personally thank Lyricist Pudhuvai Pradha and Pianist Kenny for their outstanding work.

Thaigarajan was the lead singer and actor in this song along with deepika and nithya as chorous singers and nandhini as lead female actor.

The song was shot around Puducherry. As you can notice Cinemotography plays a main role in the song. V.B.Siva, the director of photography is my close friend too. The shooting schedule was 3 days. i hope you like this number
