J’ai commencé une série de vidéos au sujet de l’harmonie, vu que le Conservatoire Royal n’a pas de livres en français. La 1re, c’est une introduction générale: c’est quoi, le solfège? Comment est-ce qu’on apprend l’harmonie? Pourquoi est-ce qu’on se concentre sur les chorals de Bach?
Recorded this version of the Mancini standard “Days of Wine and Roses” about a week ago, after a couple of rounds of feedback from Matt Warnock; stretched out a bit (click on the link below)
Just arranged and recorded this interpretation of Ornette Coleman’s “Peace”: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/track/peace
I released this new free EP for Halloween yesterday: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/album/toccata-and-fugue-state-halloween-2024
It features an electric guitar arrangement of Bach’s famous organ Toccata from BWV 565, as well as a new piece of spooky sound effects made with extended guitar techniques.
Thanks to Sean McFee, who hosted Studio J Jukebox on CKCU (93.1 FM in Ottawa) yesterday morning for playing my version of “Footprints” in the midst of an excellent programme.

See you at Jumping Bean tonight if you are in St. John’s.
I have two upcoming solo gigs at the Jumping Bean Cafe on Elizabeth Ave in St. John’s – Sept 27 and Oct 25!
It’s been a while since I updated – hard to keep up with everything that’s happened! My wife and I have relocated to St. John’s, NL, as she found a job at Memorial University. I’m looking forward to teaching, composing and performing here. I’ve completed my new album Opening and will release it on Oct 11.
My first new recording here is this loose interpretation of the Beatles’ classic “Michelle”, which I’d been working out in gigs at Aladdin Roastery and the Ottawa Guitar Society’s open mic nights: https://soundcloud.com/sundar-subramanian/michelle
