Hear(Here) me singing

Just registered for an audio blog. So I was curious to try it here; hence this small song sung by me.

Song: Ennamum orutharam

Raga: Yadhukula Kambhoji

Tala: Adi (2 kalai)

Composer: Gopalakrishna Bharathi

It is a song on Lord Shiva. Wounderful piece by GB; it deserves a very slow rendering because of the raga and the songs lyrics. Lots of bhava needed.....its a piece made for MDR kind of singers. I too have tried to sing it in vilamba kala (slow pace). Hope you will enjoy it!

Regarding the technicality of the audio uploaded here: I had recorded in wav format with 8khz and 128kbps and uploaded it as a wav format but could not embed the song in the webpage as it was opening a new window. Then converted to mp3 (I am using RH linux - fedora core 4) by lame and posted it but since it was made with 8khz and the media blog page could accept only 44Khz as default hence it sounded nasty. So used sox command to resample it in 44khz then converted it into mp3 by lame. Now it works fine :)
