Congratulations to Mr. Rahman on getting the Oscar awards ! You truly deserve it.
On celebration of this, I am currently having the Jai Ho song (from Slumdog Millionaire) as my mobile ringtone. I have edited it slightly. Here is the ringtone version:
I have also edited the O Saya song (again from Slumdog Millionaire) for using it as a ringtone. Here is the edited version below:
You can download the above ring tones and use it, if you like them.
Yamaha Music Store in Chennai
I saw an advertisement in today's Hindu regarding the launch of Yamaha Music Store in Chennai. "Yamaha Music Square" is launching in Chennai today. It is located at Nungambakkam. I was already planning to purchase the Yamaha MO6 synthesizer keyboard. So this has come at the right time. So now I have a reason to visit the store and try out MO6 and probably PSR-S900 before purchasing.
Here is the advertisement on the Hindu.
And here is the address of the shop:

Paadum Office 2008
Long time since I blogged. Anyway as far as I know it was James Vasanthan (through his BigDeal company) who started conducting inter corporate music competitions since 2004/2005. Last year this inter corporate music competition was covered by Star Vijay channel and was telecast as Paadum Office.
On Saturday, Radio Mirchi conducted similar competitions between corporates and was titled "Mirchi Clash of Corporates". Our company, AdventNet, participated in the light music competition (band) and we shared the 2nd prize along with Infosys. CTS was 1st and TCS, 3rd.
Next is Paadum Office 2008 whose shooting is scheduled to start on Nov 22nd. You can find the rules, shoot schedule, registration forms in the below website.

You can represent your company and participate either as a solo singer (classical and/or popular rounds) or as a team (popular music). All the Best !

Updates
Recently I have been following few other blogs which I have added it to my Blogroll on the right.
Kumars Planet is by Kumar, who is a Sound Engineer-Musician residing in Bangalore. He posts interesting musical quizzes on his blog, mostly on tamil film music. He also does some interesting remixes and recreates the orchestration of existing songs.
7 Swara is by Emjay. He mostly writes posts on Ilaiyaraaja and his music. Interesting to read.
I started a new blog sometime back to post my favorite interludes in songs. Will try to keep it alive by posting frequently. They are also linked to on the right side under the heading "song bgms that i like".
I have also added my twitter updates on the right hand side of my blog under the heading "what I am doing". You can find my updates there or on twitter.
Regarding the Remix contest by ARR, I submitted my entry earlier this week. The deadline was extended till 15th of this month. They don't display the entries uploaded because of copyright issues that might arise in the competition. Also the Intellectual Property Rights of all submitted entries rests with Nokia. So, right now I am not posting my remix entries on my blog. But may be after the competition I might post it.
