Phir Chali....

Phir Chali, Started working on this track back in November '07. Pavan spent a long time onsite and was waiting to get back and make some music. We met up on a saturday and I played him one of my old arrangements which he liked. He started humming a few lines and added some random words to make a tune. We made a tune of close to 4 lines but had a great struggle fitting in the appropriate words. We met up again after sometime before which i had layered some instruments to fill in for the stanza. Pavan comes home and we again do the process of making a tune and then fitting in the lyrics. We had quite a few lines and decided that should be good enough for the song and went onto make a outline for the song and recorded his voice as a dummy track. Once the first stanza was done we were thinking about a different kind of interlude. I locked Pavan in the voice room and asked him to sing something that he has not done ever in life. Then came the ooh,aah,parababappa. Once he was out i took the harmonica and walked in to the voice room and dumped some impromt pieces. Did the final recording of his voice somewhere in January on the same day that i did the recording for my previous song, Oru Poomaram. We wanted Jaishree to sing in a few places for this song and she was all ready to record. Recorded Jai's voice and all the voice dumps were complete. Thanks Jai for your support all the time :)




I had this idea of making a video of the recording process of one of my songs..A visualistic presentation makes more an impact compared to what i write in my blog.
Its a first video in making and i still have lots to learn. Keeping my blog short as the video has it all. Happy Listening.
