Wednesday March 7, 2007
Last two months have been exciting for me. I am just all over the place, clueless what my next move would be! There are two projects that I am involved in at the same time with conflicting interests! First, more importantly of course, is the album mixing and then the eventual release and then second, equally important (he he), is the Kannada Movie Project ‘Psycho’ for which I am composing and directing music. Because I am the music director, I am also having a field day claiming ownership to sing atleast 4 songs…he he again!
While Raveolution Studios has been busy with churning out mixes of the album, I have been busy parallelly composing, sequencing and then of course fighting against the provided budget to get the best musicians, best studios, best engineers so that my music for ‘Psycho’ could sound good ;).
The process of composing and designing sound for Psycho is proving to be extremely challenging but yet very exciting. Till now I have never got involved so much into sound designing as much as I have for ‘Psycho’. Not only did I get to meet and work with some phenomenal musicians and technicians but also encountered the amazing technologies and software tools that have sprung up all over. And suddenly I felt small…like that ‘toad in the well’ feeling! Everyday I walk into the studios like a scared student trying to remember what I had learnt yesterday and then wondering whats in store today. Santosh is the guy who not only has helped me in getting the sequencing and programming in place, but also patiently taught me what goes into making a track sound ‘filmy’…what technically can be called ‘Cinematic sound’. Ofcourse, almost 80% o what he says goes above my head and overwhelms me that I automatically go numb! Phew!
Sandeep, my bandmate worked with me on a daily basis to get the interludes composed. Shiva, the drummer-band mate of RDP is helping me getting the rhythm section tight. Psycho has 6 songs and a theme instrumental track. I have tried different genres for each song. While the first song is somewhat an alternative rock song named ‘Neene Beku’ (= I want only you) in Kannada (not sure if you can imagine that!), the second song Mahadeswara is an interesting song. Its a Kannada folk song which actually was a spontaneous vocal melody that sprang out of nowhere on a bed of a latino chords progression that Anirban played for me during one of the RDP jams long back and now this song finds a place in the movie. I should definitely mention Anirban as the co-composer of this whacky song.
The next 20 days is crucial for RDP is many ways…the road ahead is really the last leg….till we reach for a beautiful view…and then yes, we move on to the road ahead yet again…and the journey continues. Hop in…we sure do have space for you too.
‘Psycho’

Thanks for a great album in Kannada!!I really enjoyed the song “Neene beku” which is my favorite. Ninna Poojege bandhe and mussanje are my other favorite songs
finally Kannada music industry is blooming with talent… i salute Raghu Dixit for what he has given us… its a feeling that no one can express when one hears to his songs… BELADINGALANTE.. a fine mixture of classical n western music which is the best song i have ever heard.. n this itself is very distinct from what they call “FUSION”.. JAYANTH KAIKINI again all the songs are superb in your album especially NINNA POOJEGE BANDE MAHADESHWARA… THX 4 the melodious music..

Hey Raghu,
The first poster on this page.
Well, yes your songs rock! Your voice is unique & amazing, not to forget, very fresh!!
What disappointed me was the way the songs were shot. It’s a pity that such great songs didn’t get a good cinematographer. The song sequences look pathetic. I barely made it through all your songs, in the movie. It’s a pity that you chose this movie as your launch vehicle.
Hi Raghu,
Awesome tracks… Listening to each of them and have watched the movie as well.. Although the movie is nothing to write home about, the songs and the sequences of those songs and the choreography have been top notch.
My congrajulations to you and your team… please keep on entertaining us with more such fab songs. I know for sure that a lot of hard work has gone in to deliver such technically brilliant songs.
Please also keep us informed abt your future projects and All the best for your future endeavours.
Regards
Ajay Muralidhar
Raghu,
You have done a good job.. I like the violin and lead guitar in the song “Ee Tanaavu ninnade”. I guess you could used a bit a flute in the interlode.. The way the bass picks at the start of the song……….. Simply Awesome… On the whole.. You are a class apart…
Thanks,
Akshay Solomon

Hi Raghu,
Liked all your compositions in Pyscho. It was a superb ride of emotions, joy and feelings when listened close enough. I liked it so much, i wrote a small review, i tried to get your view during composition when i listened to those songs umpteen number of times. Got there to some extent. Maybe you should read n tell me if i was even a bit near :P.
The review is here -> http://mayajaala.com/?p=78
All in all, you have revolution on the move, expecting more from you.
truly a fan!

Hi Raghu:
You are simply FANTASTIC. In the recent years, Kannada music has sky-rocketed - thanks to folks like you.
Please keep this going.
U R ‘The BOSS’.
Hope you don’t mind me mentioning this - you are what ‘Bruce Springsteen’ was/is to the folks in USA, particularly New Jersey.
May GOD be with you.
hey raghu,
your music definitely has everyone talking……..it would be really great if you could post the chords for the songs ….
Hi Raghu,
Came to know about you from “Psycho” …
Later heard the new album songs, they are really good..
Liked “Gudugudiya” music very much and “Soruthihudu” too…
Your live show at Udupi Paryaya was good..
