ನಮ್ಮ ಜಾನಪದ & ರಂಗಭೂಮಿ
ಧ್ವನಿಯ ನೈಜ ಶಕ್ತಿ
ನಾಟಕದ ಕವಿ ಹೇಮಂತ ಕಡಿಯವರ ಅವರಿಂದ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿತ. ಅಕೌಸ್ಟಿಕ್ ವೋಕಲ್ ಬೂತ್‌ಗಳು, ಲೈವ್ ಜಾನಪದ ತಾಳವಾದ್ಯ ಟ್ರ್ಯಾಕಿಂಗ್, ಮತ್ತು ಉತ್ತರ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದ ಅಪ್ಪಟ ರಂಗಭೂಮಿ ಸಂಭಾಷಣೆಗಳು.
ನಾಟಕದ ಕವಿ ಹೇಮಂತ ಕಡಿಯವರ ಅವರಿಂದ ಅಪ್ಪಟ ಜಾನಪದ, ರಂಗಭೂಮಿ & ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಸತ್ಯತೆಗಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿತ.
SMH Records (ಶ್ರೀ ಮೈಲಾರಲಿಂಗೇಶ್ವರ ರೆಕಾರ್ಡ್ಸ್ / SMH Records) was founded in Hunagundi (ಹುನಗುಂಡಿ, Rona, Gadag), Karnataka by celebrated playwright, lyricist, and vocalist Natakada Kavi Hemant Kadiyavar out of a lifelong devotion to North Karnataka rural theatre (Nataka) and soul-stirring folk music (Janapada).
Starting with community stage plays, live harmonium scoring, and powerful rural drama dialogues, Hemant Hunagundi built SMH Records into the premier recording hub for folk artists, drama troupes, and independent musicians across Karnataka. Our motto is simple and authentic: 'ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯಕು ಸೈ, ಗಾಯನಕು ಸೈ, ಜಾನಪದಕ್ಕೂ ಸೈ, ನಾಟಕಕೂ ಸೈ — All ಎಲ್ಲದಕ್ಕೂ ಸೈ'.
Over the past nine years and more than 850 projects—including the iconic drama 'ರೈತ ಹರಿಸಿದ ರಕ್ತದೋಕುಳಿ' (Raita Harisida Raktada Okuli) and viral Janapada singles—SMH Records has preserved rural Karnataka's artistic voice with high-fidelity multi-track audio engineering, balanced acoustic isolation, and YouTube distribution mastery.
ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಸ್ಟುಡಿಯೋ ಮೌಲ್ಯಗಳು
Acoustic Discipline Over Post-Processing
We do not rely on digital noise removal or heavy post-processing to rescue poorly captured sound. We capture the room, the microphone placement, and the analogue gain structure correctly at the source.
Artist Comfort is an Acoustic Parameter
The finest microphone in the world cannot capture what an anxious artist cannot express. We curate an atmosphere of calm, patient focus, warm indirect lighting, and zero studio intimidation.
Transparent & Respectful Engineering
Our engineers work to serve the artist's musical and vocal intent, not our own egos. When an opinion is requested, we offer seasoned insight; otherwise, we maintain razor-sharp technical focus.
Archival Responsibility
Every session is mirrored to dual local solid-state drives during recording and archived to cold cloud storage. Decades from now, your multitracks will load cleanly without missing assets or corruption.
