Music and two random non-fannish illustrations
Song time! Three songs from two Tamil movies, Indira and Thiruda Thiruda, music by (who else?) A.R.Rahman. As always, please let me know if you're downloading the songs (right click and save), and if you like them :) More music can be found by clicking my 'music' tag.
Download Nila Kaigirathu (Nila Kaigirathu: The moon is shining) This is a beautiful song, for the melody as well as the singer. The original version of it in the movie is of a little girl singing this to console her father, and many years later, it's sung by her lover trying to console her.
Download Veerapaandi Kottayile (Veerapandi: Brave) Kind of a grand song, I love the slowly building up beginning with the lovely female voice and the mix of styles it somehow makes work throughout the song. It also makes me want to dance.
Download Thee Thee: An almost capricious song, it has a steady rhythm, but it almost feels like it doesn't sometimes. Again, a mix of interesting instruments and voices. Uses the kind of words as intermittent chorus that are usually used in classical music to keep time, and it works really well.
I was contracted a while back to illustrate a children's book. I got paid (not a lot) but the book itself is never going to get published :( So, here are two pages I randomly wanted to share.
