Rock ‘N’ Roll Star

Striding across my mind’s field
while sipping Burgundy Wine
put my evocation on the run
crumbling as the cigarette ashes
writing a soul anthem
for the people
to sing my history
But why you’re arraigning me
for writing a self remark
while the Rock ‘N’ Roll itself a self voicing?

Paradoxical Effect

Paradoxical Effect is an experimental electronic instrumental produced by composer and songwriter B.Nargunan.
The entire composition was created via various modular and analog synthesizers. The track emphasises on the sound designing to highlight a diabolical conditioning of the world where the inanimate realm overtakes the organic realm. The track is a virtual landscape entailing the tense and conflict within the human’s psyche living within the lifeless oxygen deprived cityscape.

Behind The Track – Euphonious Soul

“Euphonious Soul” is an experimental electronic track composed by composer and songwriter B.Nargunan in unconventional way. The track was founded on different kinds of effect pedals and sampling the recording of the guitar. This inspired him to add more instruments in order to give the track an elusive and phasing structure. This track was heavily influenced by the composer’s unique perspective regarding the functions of effect pedals and how he utilised it in his track.

“For me, guitar pedals are not just meant to function as the effect unit but they are wonderful tools for experimentation and I came up with some ideas while I was experimenting with some weird cheap pedals few months ago,” B.Nargunan says. “Then I decided to write a track based on the idea, adding more guitars, bass and did programming on my slightly aged Novation Nova. Soon, the writing process became truly interesting as the track started to develop gradually while giving a wonderful trippy vibe. It’s an experimentation of sound and ambient,” he says.

Lazy Sunday Night

Another lazy Sunday,
Drizzles knocking down my window pane
as the frogs substitute the crickets,
Carrying the silence of the night,
Streetlights lighten up my empty room,
and I was sitting alone with my guitar,
strumming gently while singing to nobody,
but I can see the smiles on pareidolia faces,
performing my new tune for them.
until the dawn comes up.

The Art of Audio Engineering

Since so many sophisticated Vst plugins are available on the store, neglecting the intricate aspects in audio engineering has been on rise. Many independent artists and producers are claiming that they are able to save the production cost with the help of Vst plugins. Besides, there is a misconception about audio engineering that’s becoming popular among the  upcoming musical artists that the desired sounding can be achieved by anybody just by tweaking the knobs, controlling the faders and using the presets provided by Vst plugins, but actually it’s false. The audio engineering is an artform created by influential engineers ; crafting the waveform, enhancing the specific sound palette to make a top notch record quality in order to provide a listener with surrealistic aural experience. Therefore I’m emphasizing on preserving the art of audio production and not killing it for the sake of budget.
