Ithu Oru Nila Kaalam |

Ithu Oru Nila Kaalam from Tik Tik Tik is a treat for the groovers out there! Bass Guitar drives the song with its unique rhythm pattern that locks with the drum set and choice of notes following every chord. This song holds a special place in my heart. Hope it does to you as well!
Pranams to '#Maestro' #Ilayaraja for yet another master piece.
PLEASE use headphones and enjoy ;)
Do drop in a comment. Would love to hear from you!
What you see / listen is a live take. Please pardon any mistakes.
Cheers and God Bless.

[@VijayKumar-fh1gy]

Waiting to hear the bass notes bro.... thank you so much....still couldn't figure out Raja Sir could churn out the notes for an entire song withing 30-35 minutes?....Born Genius....

[@musiclove4887]

Oh damn...oh damn...dis bass guitar score is absolutely out of this planet !! Its not meant for earth...its meant for aliens maybe...oh gdness...its just sooo hard to comprehend how wld someone come up with smthng like dis...the inventor of the bass guitar shud see this...the bass score of this song shows exactly what the electric bass was made for....i mean the maestro IR has done other mindblowing stuff but this is it ! And mr Aalap oh man what a play...what a play...u just brought the alrdy mindblowing bass composition to another level incorporating other bass techniques n improvisations of ur own...super flamboyant playing of the highest level...man u must hv been on a momentary trance to play this...i can see u went into another world...really any bass player must be on a doped high to play this...now i m just wondering how the scoresheet for this will look like...and if this is score is made into an advanced level bass course test item, i wonder how many students will pass...oh god i m lost for words....

[@kasiraman.j]

Great words Sir 🙏🙏

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

Thanks a lot!

[@prasadhvijay]

Superb wordings. What everyone thought to utter but searched for words...you made it boss. A great tribute to Raja sir & the player.

[@invisibledreams49]

Bro vera level playing.... It was just outstanding.... And what a composition from the maestro....... Waiting for your next bass cover

[@martinaadhisurya1510]

What of pleasure.. you'll have when you play BASS for any song. How many songs... Raja dedicatively worked for us..to give such music. We need more years to understand his music.

Evergreen composition from maestro his music will be here as long as humans are on this planet!! Raja sir is a music Saint came down to compose these gems!!!

[@a-zbroadcast]

Thanks Mr. Aalap Raju for scintillating performance. Original I think it was played by Mr. Sasidharan Muniyandi. Excellent 👌

[@chandrasekharpuranam2562]

That million dollar smile between 1:34 and 1:35.. That show how he is enjoying everytime while playing it..

[@rajeevp1438]

Thanks a lot Aalaap Raju for this cover. I feel sorry sometimes that Ilayaraaja was far ahead of his time that technology was insufficient to capture his genius works and distribute to the masses. Effort like this really helps to compensate it. Thanks a lot. Keep up your great work :)

[@TheMasteringProject]

Beautiful!!! Transcribing this is one thing. Playing it in such a way is totally something else!!

[@neoblimbos]

Hi Sreejesh, the songs from this movie " tik tik tik" from 1980 is the one the live stream audience from your channel were requesting, it world be awesome if you remastered /restored the gems from this album.

[@abvijaykumar]

Mindblowing bassline!!! its like it has its own melody, completely custom written for the main melody, no putting the bassline pattern in a loop, and tuning to the chord progression!!!! thanks for playing this. I am watching every video and enijoying

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

Thanks for listening...

[@maheshalan9217]

One of my favourite number from Raja Sir. Nobody else could do justice to this song except your cover. Kudos brother!!

[@vasanth4647]

What playing 😲 bro 😊

[@arunprakashkrishnan]

Just out of world playing by alaap raju......an apt tribute to sashidaran muniyandi bass guitarist who played the original.this brilliant score by raaja sir written in 1981.41 years......still fresh and ........what a layer of melodies with content brilliance and outstanding creativity... ..

[@kasiraman.j]

Yes just out of the world...feeling very sad about demise of sashi sir...one of gem in raja sir team

[@venkataramanareddyta]

Lovely to see a genius in his own right (arun Prakash sir) in the comments section. Arun Prakash sir is a genius in his own right. And for him to have such humility to actually appreciate a genius from another world (film music) is so lovely to see

[@prasadhvijay]

Repeat mode @ 4:00 to 4:02. You killed it bro.

[@TechCrazy]

All the right tracks for Ilayaraja for bass. One of the tracks for bass you must have is "Ilam pani thuli vizhum neram" from the film "Aaradhanai". Amazing bass so ahead of its time .

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

Bang on!

Seriously I don’t know the importance of bass on songs from 80s. Now hearing these songs in totally different spree, that could sense only Bass!! Thanks for RE-iterating and for these beautiful covers!!

[@mdgift]

A highly complex bass track composed by the Maestro can lift the song's energy with its ever-changing patterns like a raging waterfall. You have recreated the magic, thereby giving an immersive feel, Sir. Fascinating playing.

[@venkataramanareddyta]

Extraordinary playing sir! When I hear such intricately written bass parts, I wonder if this is even possible. The bass straddles so many different worlds in this song. Outstanding playing sir! As I have said so many times it is beyond the reach of normal human beings to write such a score even if they take all the time in the world. Raaja sir wrote scores like this in 30-35 minutes. How, just how is this possible?

[@AalaapRajuOfficial]

venkataamana reddy thank you! All glory to our Maestro and to all the legendary musicians and singers who have executed his creativity 🙏🏻

[@martinaadhisurya1510]

Raja has done a great treasure of music. But still he's quite. Steps like this only will unearthen it. Actually there's no need to give such a score for bass. But to every music instrument he's given his fullest contribution. And Sasaidharan Muniandi's work was unbelievable. No one can play like him with such passion. Thanks Aalaap Raja...for your responsibility and derivative work. Keep it up..! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@kasiraman.j]

@@martinaadhisurya1510 we will be missing sashi sir badly..

[@doctalkanand]

Firstly, this song drives me crazy each time I hear it... secondly, its bass has always sent shivers down my spine. Thirdly, dear Aalaap Raju sir, you've played the bass guitar like anything... I am awestruck. Any llayaraja fan would die to listen to this bass cover. Thank you a million times. And yes, sometimes I wonder whether he composed the song for the bass or the bass score for the song... its so perfect and meticulously written! Killer of a genius... bah!!!

[@sathyamuthu1609]

I agree with you. I'm a 90's (born 16/9/1984...😄) kid who always thought Rehman Ji is superior but after listening to Aalap Raju's bass work, I have a different opinion. However, I would like to dispute the fact that it was written in minutes. Nonetheless, it was great, if not one of the greatest. On Par with Pink Floyd, Metallica many others, etc. Raja sir is definitely the Maharajah. I hope to listen to more bass work from our brother Aalap.

[@neoblimbos]

Awesome...awesome..awesome 3:03 to 3:20, anyways thought it was human morphed voice electronically, is it really created with bass guitar in original track
