Antha Soham Album goes International

Antha Soham receives international recognition is set to become the first ghazal album in Telugu language to be distributed internationally. Released under the banner Psymphony, the album has received significant response when released locally in the US in late 2007 to select audience groups in both India and US.

Antha Soham contains a variety mix of Ghazal themes as per the rules set forth and dictated by the traditional practitioners of the genre, but with a Telugu twist. The music itself is a sophisticated blend of traditional tunes with a western touch and will serve as a harbinger to future experimentation trends to this age old art form. In this second edition release, Manapragada (Psychuck) experiments with base guitar in the duet note of the chordation while keeping the strings at the triad to compliment the primary notes of the tune of the song. Tallapragada's lyrics have received personal commendations from the likes of the great song writer and lyricist Padmabhushan and Gnaanpith award winner Shri. C. Narayana Reddy (Cinare). Psymphony is planning for a sequel to the CD to be released later this year.
