Chaitanya kept all his friends on Facebook posted as to when the recording of songs for "Suryakanthi" were on. With none less than Ilaiyaraja sir. And we read that he was soon leaving for the shoot.

His editor Hari called a couple of days ago and wanted 3 songs edited for the shoot.
I asked if he was sure, imagine taking the scissors to the great maestro's songs! What if he came looking for us?
Hari soothed me with "Permission ellam vangiaachu". So we carefully went over the 3 songs, and tried to keep all the progressions, the layering and the stacking of music intact and still managed to edit the songs down to about 4 minutes each from around 5.30 minutes. Someday we might get an anonymous note, "I know what you did that Friday!"

Too much time away from blogging! But well...!
We are through with the recording of all 8 songs for e Preeti. We've got so many great new voices to work with and we really enjoyed the whole process. Now just to wait for the shooting schedules to be complete.
Z kannada had a couple of shows for which we made the titles, Komedy Khiladigalu on Komedy Express and Z Healthline.
Mirchi show promos came along too.
The nicest thing was 2 albums from Ram, "Avva" and "Kaalam badil sollum". I too have 4 and a half songs ready in a compilation. Heard that S P Charan really liked those tracks! Even the half track!
