jwnicholson78 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, It's been a while since I've posted. I hope every is staying safe and healthy. I finally got a chance to to do some recording. Mohanakalyani Thillana is a famous Indian Raaga. I've always loved it, my wife and I played it at our wedding, and I've always wanted to make my own version. I'd love to know what people think. Thanks in advance for the listen.

PhonoBrainer Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 This is pretty great! I like the glitch background stuff, and cool when the tablas come in! Anything that grooves this hard is a winner in my book! at 2:06, you could add some cool hand claps on the two and four. Just an unasked-for idea! guitars have a great tone and the harmony phrasing of your guitars is very spot on! I'd say it all works a treat. cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good suggestion for the claps. I will try that out. Actually, the percussion is a mridangam. It's not as well known as the tabla. This song comes from the south of India, where they use different drums than the north, and the mridangam is common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Love the guitar and mridangam (never knew what a mridangam was before this). I like the song quite a lot but to me it got a bit repetitive after a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musical573 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I really like this! Mix is solid. I think the master might be a tad soft. JJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 cool stuff, agree with it could do with a bit of mastering to bring it up a bit Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Interesting interpretation of a Raaga, what did you use for Tabla? mix works well here on the Adam's, nice guitar tones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! It's actually a mrindangam, not a tabla. It's from the south of India. I used the Native Instruments India vst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
