Hi Prem, I like the rhythm, but would sound more good with some orchestration as well. Regards.

Prem,

After listening to this, I agree that Rhythm would be good.

I'm planning to buy some software this weekend. I'll try and post my version with rhythms. Let's see.

Nice work Prem. Big motivation here.!! I think we can work together to do a complet piece together.

Let's see

prem:

rhythm programming is very nice. There is one thing that you may need to watch out while singing though. It is important to have a shruthibox or a background chord to provide the listener a clear idea of the tune. It was a little difficult to understand the scale that you have adhered to for this song.

Keep them coming !

BlueByrd - Thanks for visiting. I'll be more than happy to listen to your songs.

IBH / Anand / Ambi / Jeevan & Anjali - Glad you all liked it. Hope to publish more.

Jo / NV - I'll try and add somemore bgm.

Murali - You are absolutely correct, I need an instrument to keep up the shruthi. I think it is very apparent on the last stanza, correct ?. Is there any particular areas, like the ascent/descend that sounds out of scale/ shruthi or is there a general lack of shruthi.

I always feel that I have more control when I go up, but totally out when going down.
Jo & Murali - Is that typical ?

Thank you all for your valueable feedback, it really helps.

I think it is very apparent on the last stanza

It indeed is. You had started and ended and two different scales. If that is intentional (like ARR), it is well conceived. If not, you need some base shruthi which will help you to rest against a reference constantly. this way you can improve your rendition.

Both very high and very low notes are difficult to have good control at. At high notes, the voice usually gets strained and sometimes one has to resort to falsetto. And in the low notes the person's ability to distinguish between two successive notes gets marred. Since the listening becomes befuddled, the singing mind (ya..I believe it is the mind which sings. Voice, like any instrument, just expresses what mind thinks) gets confused about what it is trying to sing and what it hears (feedback through the ear). This leads to apashruthi or off-scale singing. Only way to rectify is to keep the reference shruthi and sing along and practice. Practice ! Practice ! Practice ! And concentration ! These two are the magic words. Nothing else. :)

Ganesh - Yes, I've been on the TFM site. Will try to harmonize.

Murali - No it was not intentional. It so happenned that I recorded that section after a break and as you rightly said, started off on different base. I've always struggled to maintain shruthi, hopefully more practice should help.
