The Bilz and Kashif – Sean Kingston Bollywood Girls (Remix)

I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but the voting is so close, the contest ends today and I’d like to give my boys a hand (I should have thought of this earlier)…

The Bilz and Kashif have really put Montreal on the map when it comes to this kind of music. See here and [...]

Cover of "More than Words" by Extreme

It has come to my attention that it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted any music I’ve recorded. Now that I’m back in Montreal, I’ve slowly been getting reacquainted with my music “studio”.

Although it’s an old song, 1991 I believe, I first heard it just a couple of years ago when I [...]

The Biggie Hendrix Experience

DJ Doc Rok has done a pretty decent mashup of Jimi Hendrix and Notorious BIG songs. This reminded me of The Gray Album that DJ Danger Mouse did back in 2004 where he remixed tracks from the Beatles with Jay Z’s black album. My favourite track on this would have to be the mix of [...]

Terrible (but Entertaining) Singing on American Idol

Yesterday and today I watched the season premiere episodes of American Idol. Yes, I watch it, but to be honest, I usually stop watching once the people make it to Hollywood. The only part of the series I find entertaining is watching the tryouts (specifically the horrible ones). In fact, it’s one of the very [...]

Audio, Video and Emotions Experiment Results

Background

Studies have shown that music is an integral part of filmmaking and can have a profound effect on the audience. However, only until relatively recent times has more intensive research been conducted. One example of this was an experiment by Oliver Vitouch titled “When Your Ear Sets the Stage: Musical Context Effects in Film Perception” [...]

Experiment: Audio, Video and Emotions

I need your help for one of my last university projects! This experiment should take less than 5 minutes to complete. You should be (preferably) in a quiet setting and you have to have sound enabled on your PC. If you’re interested in reading more, you can scroll to the bottom of this [...]

Why Am I Dying to Live if I'm Just Living to Die?

Got into Colombo safely at midnight last night. This was also and interesting and very different experience from my last trip. I lived with the Lawrances this time (not in the camp). Unfortunately I hadn’t charged my camera battery, so I don’t have as many pics! As usual, I will type up my [...]

Happy New Year!

I’d like to wish everyone a very happy new year! All the best and good luck in 2005!

I haven’t had a chance to blog the last couple of days because my uncle and cousin finally came in from Toronto to record some music. My father and uncle had some lengthy negotiations with their [...]

Selvarajah Music!

As most of you know (well, I guess some of you might not): I play the drums, some guitar and a little piano. This is why ‘Being musical” is a key requirement in my list. So for your listening pleasure (or displeasure…depending on how you see it) I’ve uploaded some of the stuff I quickly [...]
