Jotheyali / Vizhiyile / Jaane Do Na on the Harmonium

This song, Jotheyali, was originally composed by Ilaiyaraaja for a Kannada film and that was a huge hit. This song was later reused as Vizhiyile Mani Vizhiyil in a Tamil film, Nooravudhu Naal. More recently, Ilaiyaraaja reused this again as Jaane Do Na in the Hindi film, Cheeni Kum, with a totally different arrangement.

This song has got wonderful melody and chord sequences. I wanted to try it out and so I set the basic arrangement for this song and created the Karaoke track. I then played the harmonium on top of the track and recorded it. Let me know your feedback.



Microphone used: Tascam DR-07mkII digital audio recorder

  3. @drashkum: Thank you Ashwin! The karaoke track was created separately. I then loaded the track on my tascam audio recorder and recorded the harmonium in overdub mode when the original track was being played. The recorder has got 2 condenser mics (XY stereo) which is why it picks up the sound really well. But the drawback is it will pick up sounds really well and hence a sound proof room would be ideal.

  5. Hi Ashwin,

    The following is the device I purchased. I ordered it online and got it delivered to one of my colleagues who was returning from US. It cost $149.
