I'd like to request amateur composers who visit this page to tell me if they've uploaded any of their work onto the internet and if they have, please tell me where I can listen to it. Thank You.

  can you please give some more info on "soundfont". Some links will be of great help
  How do we generate some for Indian instruments?
  
  Thanks

  UV, jdd, Sridhar,
  
  I have uploaded two soundfonts (mridhangam and
  ghatam) in this zip file. These were created
  an year back. If you like them, I can tinker
  with them a little more and improve them.
  
  http://www.geocities.com/rjaymidi/soundfonts.zip
  
  Each sf2 file has 10-15 strokes from each instrument mapped to each key including black
  keys - for about 2 octaves. Load this into Vienna Soundfont editor and you can find the individual strokes. Let me know if you have problems or if
  it is OK.

  Hi everyone,

  professional recording techniques and equipment.
  enjoy.

  you are welcome UV. Please let me know if you
  need help in putting it to use.
  
  though I make soundfonts, Sridhar puts them to
  real good use! I am expecting you will
  be another power user and am eagerly waiting to
  learn from you.
  
  I listened to your compositions. Very nice work!
  Keep it up!

  Swamiji,Rjay,comment and friends
  I feel lucky to be among this elite group who can discuss so much things in music,I am learning so much from you guys.
  I acutally want you guys to introduce to this sweet person and great World Musician Mr. Jai Uttal I dont know whether you have heard about him or music. But let me tell you guys this guy is amazing his music is so inspiring to me.
  He mixes our devotional songs and sings with full passion at the same the fusion he has done is very unique i think not much of people have attempted it
  so here are few songs just listen to them they are just amazing
  Here are some of my favourites

  http://www.triloka.com/artists/jaiuttal/music/jubs2.m3u
  http://www.triloka.com/artists/jaiuttal/music/jusr1.m3u
  The songs are sung by himself and his troupe the Pagan Orchestra
  I have got most of his albums hope you guys like it. BTW he is one of the top guys in World Music category.
  Jai Uttal has been called "the foremost artist merging traditional Indian music and pop…a master who is synthesizing some important and exciting music." (LA Times)
  I am sorry to post this but I really thought you guys would like this!!
  thanks

  You may need a SBLive or a EMU synth to use
  soundfonts. (Even though I vaguely remember
  a sample playback PC-based software called
  Timidity which could playback soundfont music
  even without a sblive card.
  
  Soundfont is a sample representation that is used
  by Soundblaster Live and Soundblaster AWE cards
  and E-MU workstations.
  
  You can sample instruments on a PC, map the sounds to a midi keyboard layout and assign
  pitch, effect, stereo etc and then you can
  save it as a soundfont.
  
  Arul, do you have a sblive card?

  I have heard his song - Jai Jai Ram seetha ram,
  bhajan, (no fusion). I was amazed by how well
  his voice and mood was so Indian!

  RJAY:
  I have Turtle Beach Montego Voyetra II Sound Card,
  isn't possible for me to play the sound fonts. Also CakeWalk has some sound management module which I remember installing. Will it work?

  Jai Uttal is a great discovery. I listened to a sample from "Monkey" ( I think the first one ). Wonderfully he handled the Peel Raaga and it's transitions to Kapi - really cool.

  It starts with Srikanth's Favourite Raga "Revathi".
  
  
• From: comment (@ 63.225.172.159) on: Mon Mar 5 14:47:06 EST 2001
  
  aditya ...though i like revathi, my favorite is Bhageshri. :)
  
  
  
• From: UV (@ 134.113.201.48) on: Mon Mar 5 14:50:19 EST 2001
  
  Revathi ? well to me after second listening it sounds like starts with Sivaranjani merging to hamsanandi
  
  
• From: Aditya (@ 160.231.1.20) on: Mon Mar 5 14:57:26 EST 2001
  
  Excellent - that's my favourite too:-)) I like the chord progression in your revathi raga compositions.
  
  Just a doubt about Raga Names: ( KharaharaPriya Janya Raga )
  
  Sa Re Ga Ma Da Ne sa
  Sa Ne Da Ma Ga Re Sa
  Is This SriRanjani Raga?
  
  Sa Ga Ma Da Ne Sa
  Sa Ne Da Ma Ga Re Sa
  Is this Bhageshri?
  
  Sa Ga Ma Da Ne Sa
  Sa Ne Da Ma Ga Sa
  What's this Raga?
  
  Regards,
  Aditya

  Even for me it sounded like Sivaranjani and then also revathi.

  I really liked the Malkones song and gOpAla song. Though I have heard electric guitar played the indian way many times, this song is very successful in bringing the joy of singing the Indian way to rock fans (my wife will not let me play this at home, I guess:)).
  The gOpala song is also very good in brining out the nuances and subtleties in the Indian vocal tradition. It is interesting while foreigners are discovering these things in our music, we guys are going for the 'cool,urbanish, poppish' style of singing. Still I dont think the western drums and tabla are well integrated. They seem to be just layered. But the playing here is better (hearty) than other fusion albums I have listened to. I really like this song for the vocals/singing. Interesting is also, the flute transition to the interludes.
