Response to Overlapping talas

This is a response to Ramesh's blog on "Overlapping talas", since i couldn't embed audio widgets in comments.

Ramesh is great in finding this kind of interesting tidbits within songs. I still can recall the song "Famous" from "Bombay Dreams" where somewhere in between, there will be a very fraction of delay / pause but the song will never seem to be mis-timing. And I never noticed that before hearing from Ramesh.

Coming to the discussion of the current post on Kannalane song from Bombay, I listened it, especially the interlude part of this discussion. However, in this interlude, I jsut see a simple 4 / 4 timing. I guess, ARR has introduced the "gubu subu" phrase at odd places with a little interesting Tabla march (2 / 2 kinda edhirnadai maybe). Below is the wma file, to support me, that I recorded the interlude with my clapping and pronunciation of 'tha ka thi mi tha ka ju nu". May be you will best hear the bolded part, since i needed breath inbetween. May be I'm missing something, please let me know in that case. While listening, please dont be confused since i started recording from the "tha ka ju nu" part of the previous bar.

Below is the recorded one.

Complete version of one of my initial compositions

From my childhood, I loved music. But got a chance to learn guitar and music only at my 18. Now 'm 30. Just kept my self within small domain. Used to play in my college and office 'AdventNet'. But didn't pursue any further other than trying out few compositions on my own taste.

Here is one my first two compositions. I have described about my compositions already here and here. However, at that time, I was not able to make the complete versions available for listening. Now making one of them available with eSnips (I face problem in uploading the other one).

All the music in this composition, except the voice, are produced by software. Since I did not get a good singer, I sang this song. Also I haven't added enough spice. Please forgive me for any mistake in the voice & in the orchestration.
