Specials - The Harpeggi

Many people who have been gripped by the Oscar fever would have known that the Great Indian Composer A.R.Rahman has been nominated for two Oscars this year.... His song "If I Rise" featuring Dido and A.R.Rahman has been lauded by many for containing interesting sounds.... The Video of If i Rise features A.R.Rahman playing a loop over an almost unknown instrument and Dido singing.... Many told me it was a Finger Pad - a kind of music controller.... But when i came to know it was not a controller but an instrument i was intrigued at this never seen never heard before instrument.... The Harpeggi does not even have a Wikipedia Page so i thought i can put something about the Harpeggi here...... The Harpeggi belongs to a class of instruments called the Tapping instruments..... They are tapped with the fingers to produce sound.... The Harpeggi when tapped produces sounds electronically.... The most interesting part is that a Harpeggi is played like a Piano or a Keyboard but produces sounds like a Electric Guitar ...... The Harpeggi was invented by THE MARCODI MUSICAL COMPANY..... As a bonus i have pasted here the link of a video where the A.R.Rahman purchases a Harpeggi and tries to play with it....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_6Jt1JyKZg

My Personals.... Mynaa- D.Imman

Must be D.Imman's best output yet...... Interesting fusion of electronic and folk...... Pick Of The Album- Mynaa Mynaa By Shaan.....

My Personals.... Sountrack- The Bourne Ultimatum...

I am a big fan of movie soundtracks. The movie that aroused that interest in me was John Powell's The Bourne Ultimatum....

One of the most riveting albums of all time, the movie's scores have heavy percussion laden with orchestral violins.... One interesting track named 'Tangiers' has an orchestral arrangement interwoven with African Native drums.... The best thing about the album is its success to replicate the movie's feel and to interest as a standalone album..... The album also has the famous single from Mobi- Extreme Ways.....

If anyone gets the opportunity to hear this album , comment me about it......
