Rahman says music for stage version of Rings has different edgeCanadian PressPublished: Thursday, March 09, 2006   MUMBAI, India (AP) - Leading Indian composer A.R. Rahman says the music for the lavish stage production of The Lord of the Rings opening in Toronto this month has a unique flavour
 due to his collaboration with Finnish folk group Varttina.   Rahman had earlier composed music for Bombay Dreams - a musical about India's movie industry by Andrew Lloyd Webber that was a hit in London's West End, but struggled on Broadway.   Working on the music for the stage version of J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy was challenging, Rahman told Mumbai-based DNA newspaper in an interview published Thursday.   "I have been working on this for more than two years," said Rahman, adding this was the longest project he had been involved with.   While the Rings stage production is not a musical, it uses music extensively and Rahman has said he was approached to bring an orchestral tone to the folk music of Varttina.   The show, with a cast of nearly 60 actors, cost upward of $23 million US and opens at Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre on March 23.   Rahman said one thing the score would not have was pop music.  
 "It was an interesting collaboration," Rahman said about working with Varttina. "To those who have heard my music before, I'd say don't expect Shakalaka Baby or Chaiyya Chaiyya."   The two songs were Bollywood favourites and featured in the musical Bombay Dreams.   The 40-year-old composer has won several Indian music awards and composed music for more than 120 Bollywood movies.   ©The Canadian Press 2006Regards,Shah Navas  SPONSORED LINKS Christian music artists   Country music artists   New music artists New country music artists   Music artists   Unsigned music artist

[arr] WE MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT HARRIS JEYARAJ AND AR RAHMAN-=====

2006-03-11 Thread nbk4692
HI GUYS...

SINCE I HAVE READ SOME TOPICS INVOLVING HJ'S MUSIC ...AND SOMEONE 
ASKED WHY AR RAHMAN CANT CREAT A MUSIC LIKE SUTHUM VIZHI FROM 
GHAJINI..I  UNDERDTAND AND RESPECT YOUR OPINIONBUT WAIT...ONE 
THING TOU MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT HARIS JEYARAJ IS HE IS COMPOSING 
MUSIC FOR HIMSELF (TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS STATEMENT) WHILE OUR BOSS 
IS TRYING HIS BEST TO COMPOSE MUSIC FOR HIS FANS ,DIRECTORS AND MOST 
IMPORTANTLY FOR THE MOVIE AND ONLY FOR THE MOVIE

MANY OF US SURELY WOULD HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO SONG OF THE KATRIL ORU 
VARTHAI FROM GF...DO U GUYS THINK THAT THE SONG SUTHUM VIZHI FROM 
GHAJINI IS SUITABLE FOR THAT KIND OF A MOVIE NOR THE VIDEO

LISTEN TO VV...U WILL REALIZE THAT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO COMPOSE SUCH 
A TUNE...I M SURE YUVAN SHANKAR RAJA WOULD CREATE BETTER TUNE FROM 
THAT...HJ IS USING WESTERN STYLE TO CAPTURE HIS MARKET(THE WAY HE 
USES UNESSASARY LOOPS AND SOUND WHICH IS REALLY DONT SUIT THE FILM 
BUT IT IS NICE TO LISTEN) WHILE AR RAHMAN WILL COMPOSE INCH PERFECT 
FOR THE MOVIE...THAT IS WHY AR RAHMAN ALWAYS ON TOP...HE CAN COMPOSE 
ENGLISH ,CHINESE,TAMIL ,HINDI ,TELUGU ,AND EVEN MALAYSIAN LANGGUAGE 
YOU KNOW...

IF YOU GUYS WANT COMPARISONS,I WILL GIVE ONE::

AR RAHMAN CAN EASILY COMPOSE SONGS LIKE VV...BUT COULD HJ COMPOSE 
SONGS LIKE TAAL OR DIL SE OR LAGAAN...HE CANT YOU KNOW WHY 
BECAUSE ONLY AR RAHMAN COULD COMPOSE LIKE THAT...THAT IS WHY..HIS 
MUSIC IS AROUND THE WORLD.

IN MALAYSIA MANY MALAY PEOPLE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HINDI NOR TAMIL BUT 
THEY ARE LISTENING TO AR RAHMAN 'S MUSIC.AND YOU KNOW 
WHY...BECAUSE IT IS AR RAHMAN'S PRODUCTS...AND NOT EVERYONE CAN 
PRODUCE IT..I DO RESPECT HJ 'S MUSIC AND WOULD LIKE TO WISH HIM 
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME ...

JAI RAHMAN.AND THANKS TO ALL ARRAHMAN FANSTHANK 
YOU...SUPPORT RAHMAN...

SHAI

[arr] using FTP

2006-03-11 Thread sreekar8191986
friends,

i am using DAP(download acclerator plus) for downloading through FTP 
sites.
i recommed all of u to use it as it has an FTP browser with it.
now with that u have no need to open any IE or mozilla or opera to 
access that site
its very very useful  easy.its as if u r going through windows explorer.
morover downloadings will be fast.ofcourse u may use other FTP clints 
also if u dont want this.i think if we use such softwares (all of us) we will 
have no need to got to those uploading  downloading sites or links.
everything that we want to share can be monitored from this FTP servers.
waht do u all think???


REQUEST: i need yeh jo zindagi female version (not sukhwinder singh) 
from earth.somebody plz give me.

Re: [arr] WE MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT HARRIS JEYARAJ AND AR RAHMAN-=====

2006-03-11 Thread shaik mahaboob



Fantastic comparsion. keep it up.To sum up ARR is ARR. he cannot be compared with other budding Music Directors in Tamil Filmdom. ARR has already attained the peak of unfettered global popularity, others composers including HJ or VS have not reached even to domestic Indian market.If you date back to 1960's, a solo number sung by LR Eswari "Elanda Pazham. Elanda Pazham had created an all time record. And recently Manmada Raja.. Manmada Raja had also humming treat for all young and old. Such numbers can fetch only C class viewers.Do you think that people are still remmembering such songs.Only songs like Alaimaniyin Osai from Palum Pazhamum, Chinna Chinna Asai from Roja, Markhazi povai from May Madham, Savaria Savaria from Swades, Dil se re from Dil Se, Chale chalo from Lagaan,  Theeyil Vizhundha Thena from God Father, Ammave Vanangada... composed by Ilaya Raja from
 Mannan.  Many other lilting numbers composed by ace composers like VR, MSV, KV Mahadevan, Ilaya Raja and the one and the only ARR.Thanks,shaik MahaboobHowever, we shouldall feel happy that HJ is an ardent fan of our Boss ARR.  nbk4692 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  HI GUYS...SINCE I HAVE READ SOME TOPICS INVOLVING HJ'S MUSIC ...AND SOMEONE ASKED WHY AR RAHMAN CANT CREAT A MUSIC LIKE SUTHUM VIZHI FROM GHAJINI..I UNDERDTAND AND RESPECT YOUR OPINIONBUT WAIT...ONE THING TOU MUST UNDERSTAND ABOUT HARIS JEYARAJ IS HE IS COMPOSING MUSIC FOR HIMSELF (TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS STATEMENT) WHILE OUR BOSS IS TRYING HIS BEST TO COMPOSE MUSIC FOR HIS FANS ,DIRECTORS AND MOST

2006-03-11 Thread Pankaj Kakkar



hi frnds  today when i was at shopping, i checked in a big audio shop in alwarpet to know abt the audio releases of Shivaji  JOK. Their explanation was both the audios will be a couple of months before Diwali. And this Sivaji to be on March 10th is wrongly posted by Advts. as it was mistake as they said, Ajit's Thirupathi is going to release shortly. the banner is AVM and this tirupathi audio is going to be released by Rajnikanth, it seems. Sivaji is also by AVM. So the confusions, which made error reports. thats it. Pankaj thanks Pankaj

Hi Friends,Please listen to Thenil Vizhantha Thena sung by ARR. If you understand Tamilyou will certainly cry remembering your own mother.Congrats to Ulaga isai Medhai ARR. We need such songs in the recent times for inculcatingthe young and Tender minds. Hats off to ARR and Vairamuthu for giving such a raring combination.

[arr] Rahman interview in Sunday Mid-day - 'I'm yet to be paid for Mangal Pandey'

2006-03-11 Thread Vinayakam Murugan



He acknowledges the yahoo groups in this interview. :-)How do you 
  communicate with your fans?There's a yahoo groups 
  fan base with over 8,000 fans and I keep track.http://ww1.mid-day.com/smd/play/2006/march/132817.htm

  


  

  SHOW ME THE MONEY: 85 per 
cent of Rahman's payment for The Rising is still due. 
Pic: Pradeep 
  BandekarWe meet 
  the composer 16 floors above sea level at a suburban five-star 
  hotel. A R Rahman is riding the Rang De Basanti wave as calmly 
  as he rode the massive flops: Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The 
  Forgotten Hero and Mangal Pandey The Rising. There are 
  those times when the 'cool' musician chuckles like a little 
  boy, when we ask him about recording with Lata 
  Mangeshkar. "It was just an idea," he says, dragging 
  the last word with a south Indian twang, and shrugging his 
  shoulders until his neck disappears, "I thought I would sing 
  along with her like a son's reply to a mother's voice." That's 
  as far as he would go to admit that Luka chuppi was an 
  indulgence.But this time around, we thank Andrew Lloyd 
  Weber for initiating the composer in the art of interaction. 
  In Rahman's own words, a few years ago, after the success of 
  Bombay Dreams, "Andrew taught me that music is also about 
  presentation, and I can't keep going into my shell." 
  Our drilling session would have sure come up with 
  blanks had we encountered the introvert that Rahman once 
  was.
  You said you were tired of period 
  films.I didn't say that. I said I was tired of 
  people slotting me; just because I did period films like 
  Mangal Pandey people got the impression I wanted to retire and 
  go to AIR. It took four months to come up with the 
  score for Mangal Pandey. I'm yet to be paid for Mangal 
  Pandey.I had to be patient enough for Rang De 
  Basanti's release, but knew that people were getting 
  impatient. Most fans thought that I had turned into a desh 
  bhakt with all the period films. 
  
  


  How do you 
  communicate with your fans?There's a yahoo groups 
  fan base with over 8,000 fans and I keep track.
  Let's talk Rang De BasantiIt feels 
  very good. In fact, that's another period film of sorts. 
  Rakeysh and I coordinated with each other for four years for 
  Rang De Basanti. The only difference is that we got a new 
  producer, which was a huge leap. Rakeysh gave me four 
  scripts and said that he had another small idea, which turned 
  out to be the fifth script. I told him that this is your 
  movie. It's not a cliché. I'd never heard something 
  like this before. I think people are lost today. Especially 
  the younger generation. The film is almost like a coded 
  message for the youth.
  
  


  How long did you 
  take to compose the score for this one?It's the 
  quickest score I've ever written. The initial tracks which 
  included six to seven songs took two weeks. Initially Khalbali 
  was recorded fully in Arabic in London, and I sent it to the 
  team over the internet. All of them said, "What is 
  this? Is this from our film?" Rakeysh said that we should do 
  it in Hindi so that it grows on people and it was his idea 
  that I sing. Rubaroo was completed only two weeks before the 
  music released - only the mukhada was done and we did the 
  antara later. Luka Chuppi took a week, and the background 
  score wrapped up in 10 days. 
  Which was the toughest?Khoon Chala 
  was meant to be a loud track. It was all about 
  expressing a revolutionary's thoughts. I would have hated 
  doing it as it was originally planned, because people wouldn't 
  have been interested in this sort of a track. It just wouldn't 
   

[arr] NYC South Asians make Bombay Dreams a success

2006-03-11 Thread Gopal Srinivasan
Bombay Dreams

  NYC South Asians make Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway musical a success

On January 1, 2005, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway production of Bombay Dreams 
closed down after an eight-month run — not enough time for the show’s producers 
to recoup their $14 million investment. Most of Webber’s shows tend to run for 
years. The current longest running musical on Broadway, Phantom of Opera, is a 
Webber creation. And so was Cats, the previous record-breaking show on Broadway.

But Bombay Dreams was no ordinary Webber creation. First, its music was 
composed by A R Rahman. And most theatre-goers in New York and tourists who are 
the life-blood of the city’s musicals, did not know Rahman. It was set in the 
world of Bollywood films and had no familiar names in the cast. And New York 
theatre critics were ruthless in critiquing the play.

Some claimed that this was the end of Indian-themed theatre in the US. But, 
last month, all the naysayers were proven wrong when the Atlanta-based company, 
Theatre of the Stars, premiered a 15-cities national tour of Bombay Dreams in 
Costa Mesa in Southern California. From here the show will travel to several 
other US cities including Sacramento, St Louis, Houston, Dallas, Denver, 
Pittsburgh, Charlotte and even Toronto, Canada. The jury is still not out on 
how these cities will take it. But, it’s clear that American critics in general 
have a tough time digesting a musical set in a world totally alien to their 
culture.

At least, Paul Hodgins of The Orange County Register (Costa Mesa is located in 
Orange County, just south of Los Angeles) only had problems with the staging of 
the current production. He wrote in his review: “(It) is only fitfully 
pleasant, and at times it turns into a technical nightmare — a mish-mash of bad 
lighting cues, inept blocking and awkward scene changes.”

But look at what the New York critics said nearly two years ago when Bombay 
Dreams opened on Broadway. Clive Barnes of the New York Post called the show a 
“sari affair.” Referring to Rahman’s compositions as monotonous, he said “this 
overheated curry, although adapted for American tastes, may not appeal to every 
palate.”

USA Today, The Washington Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer all recommended 
that theatre-goers should avoid the show. The final nail on the coffin came 
from the man who has the power to make or break a Broadway show — Ben Brantley 
of The New York Times. He called Bombay Dreams “flat and ….unengaging,” and 
suggested that Americans, not well-versed in the traditions of Bollywood films, 
will not get the show.  

How does one get across to a veteran critic like Barnes that Rahman is a genius 
in his own way. With no sense of history about Indian cinema and being totally 
ignorant of the way more than a billion people love to have their stories told, 
how could we to expect these critics to be fair to Bombay Dreams?

With such scathing reviews, Bombay Dreams should have died a sudden death 
within a month of its opening. That is often the case with badly-reviewed shows 
on Broadway. But Bombay Dreams had one thing going for it. The South Asian 
community in the greater New York City area adopted it as if it was their own. 
And they came in large numbers — bringing with them grandparents, parents and 
even little children. They supported the show as a duty to their homeland. Many 
came to a Broadway show for the first time.

New York City and its neighbouring areas may have the largest concentration of 
South Asians. But the producers of the current tour of Bombay Dreams are hoping 
that South Asians in other cities will also support the show, now that it will 
be playing in their area.

Perhaps that is the reason why Hodgins also said that the new version of Bombay 
Dreams has a certain charm. “Don’t count it out just yet,” he added.

2006-03-11 Thread Matthew Islam



I am suprised also that he actually talked about this. But then, if the story is true then the explaination is befitting and tells of the practical difficulties musicians face when they compose for a film and put so much hard work into it and they never get proper financial recognition for their work. Bobby bedi is known as a respected producer and is considering ARR for the Mahabharata, so I dont know whether he would risk not paying.but then again stranger things have happened and if the quotes are correct then ARR is nothing but fair in mentioning that four months work was no rewarded in totality.

This particular number will no doubt creat Khalbali after the release of the Film. Other songs like Innisai, Ilamai are the real treat for Music Lovers.

  He acknowledges the yahoo groups in this interview. 
  :-)How do you 
  communicate with your fans?There's a yahoo groups fan base with 
  over 8,000 fans and I keep track.http://ww1.mid-day.com/smd/play/2006/march/132817.htm
  
  


  

  SHOW ME THE MONEY: 85 per cent of 
Rahman's payment for The Rising is still due. Pic: Pradeep 
BandekarWe meet the composer 16 
  floors above sea level at a suburban five-star hotel. A R Rahman is riding the 
  Rang De Basanti wave as calmly as he rode the massive flops: Netaji Subhas 
  Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero and Mangal Pandey The Rising. There 
  are those times when the 'cool' musician chuckles like a little boy, when we 
  ask him about recording with Lata Mangeshkar."It was just an idea," he 
  says, dragging the last word with a south Indian twang, and shrugging his 
  shoulders until his neck disappears, "I thought I would sing along with her 
  like a son's reply to a mother's voice." That's as far as he would go to admit 
  that Luka chuppi was an indulgence.But this time around, we thank 
  Andrew Lloyd Weber for initiating the composer in the art of interaction. In 
  Rahman's own words, a few years ago, after the success of Bombay Dreams, 
  "Andrew taught me that music is also about presentation, and I can't keep 
  going into my shell." Our drilling session would have sure come up 
  with blanks had we encountered the introvert that Rahman once was.
  You said you were 
  tired of period films.I didn't say that. I said I was tired of 
  people slotting me; just because I did period films like Mangal Pandey people 
  got the impression I wanted to retire and go to AIR. It took four 
  months to come up with the score for Mangal Pandey. I'm yet to be paid for 
  Mangal Pandey.I had to be patient enough for Rang De Basanti's 
  release, but knew that people were getting impatient. Most fans thought that I 
  had turned into a desh bhakt with all the period films. 
  
  


  How do you communicate with your 
  fans?There's a yahoo groups fan base with over 8,000 fans and I 
  keep track.
  Let's talk Rang De 
  BasantiIt feels very good. In fact, that's another period film of 
  sorts. Rakeysh and I coordinated with each other for four years for Rang De 
  Basanti. The only difference is that we got a new producer, which was a huge 
  leap. Rakeysh gave me four scripts and said that he had another small 
  idea, which turned out to be the fifth script. I told him that this is your 
  movie. It's not a cliché. I'd never heard something like this before. 
  I think people are lost today. Especially the younger generation. The film is 
  almost like a coded message for the youth.
  
  


  How long did you take to compose the score 
  for this one?It's the quickest score I've ever written. The 
  initial tracks which included six to seven songs took two weeks. Initially 
  Khalbali was recorded fully in Arabic in London, and I sent it to the team 
  over the internet.All of them said, "What is this? Is this from our 
  film?" Rakeysh said that we should do it in Hindi so that it grows on people 
  and it was his idea that I sing. Rubaroo was completed only two weeks before 
  the music released - only the mukhada was done and we did the antara later. 
  Luka Chuppi took a week, and the background score wrapped up in 10 days. 
  
  Which was the 
  toughest?Khoon Chala was meant to be a loud track. It was 
  all about expressing a revolutionary's thoughts. I would have hated doing it 
  as it was originally planned, because people wouldn't have been interested in 
  this sort of a track. It just wouldn't fit into Rang De Basanti. We 
  took a last minute decision to use a romantic melody. Serious lyrics on a love 
  tune made all the difference. We wanted Mohit (Silk Route) to sing the 
  track and it turned out that Prasoon had worked with the band, and everything 
  just fell into place.
  
  


  You've recorded Jiya Jale with Lata 
  Mangeshkar previously. How different was it working with her seven years later 
  for Luka Chuppi?Lataji is more than just a voice. The whole awe 
  of motherhood is summed up in that song because she brings a whole range of 
  emotions to it. She's still the same extraordinary singer.
  You mean there are 
  no vocal differences?The range has come down. There is a problem 
  with high notes that has to be digitally adjusted. But that's a physical 
  thing. My vocal range has come down too with age.It's 
  nothing to do with singing capabilities.The title track didn't have

I think Bobby Bedi cheated Rahman in the first place by building castles in the air with regards to the movie mangal pandey. Had rahman known about the way his songs would have got treated i dont think rahman would have agreed..Matthew Islam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  I am suprised also that he actually talked about this. But then, if the story is true then the explaination is befitting and tells of the practical difficulties musicians face when they compose for a film and put so much hard work into it and they never get proper financial recognition for their work. Bobby bedi is known as a respected producer and is considering ARR for the Mahabharata, so I dont know whether he would risk not paying.but then again stranger things have happened and if the quotes are correct then ARR is nothing but fair in
 mentioning that four months work was no rewarded in totality. Take Care!Matthew IslamGopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Uh-oh!!!

Then... it is officially confirmed that ARR keeps track of this yahoo 
group. It's good to see. And I think ARR should take care when giving 
interview's to newsparpers like midday which are famous for giving 
notorious news titles in front pages and glamourising the small 
issues.  He should be calm when giving such expressions, otherwise 
anti-rahmaniacs will ruin his credibility in future. 
And anyway, these days he is more closer to northern people after 
succes of RDB.

   To sum up ARR is ARR. he cannot be compared with other budding 
Music Directors in Tamil Filmdom. ARR has already attained the peak 
of unfettered global popularity, others composers including HJ or VS 
have not reached even to domestic Indian market.

   If you date back to 1960's, a solo number sung by LR 
Eswari Elanda Pazham. Elanda Pazham had created an all time record. 
And recently Manmada Raja.. Manmada Raja had also humming treat for 
all young and old. Such numbers can fetch only C class viewers.Do you 
think that people are still remmembering such songs.  

   Only songs like Alaimaniyin Osai from Palum Pazhamum, Chinna 
Chinna Asai from Roja, Markhazi povai from May Madham, Savaria 
Savaria from Swades, Dil se re from Dil Se, Chale chalo from Lagaan,  
Theeyil Vizhundha Thena from God Father, Ammave Vanangada... composed 
by Ilaya Raja from Mannan.  Many other lilting numbers composed by 
ace composers like VR, MSV, KV Mahadevan, Ilaya Raja and the one and 
the only ARR.

   Thanks,

COMPOSE 
 ENGLISH ,CHINESE,TAMIL ,HINDI ,TELUGU ,AND EVEN MALAYSIAN LANGGUAGE 
 YOU KNOW...
 
 IF YOU GUYS WANT COMPARISONS,I WILL GIVE ONE::
 
 AR RAHMAN CAN EASILY COMPOSE SONGS LIKE VV...BUT COULD HJ COMPOSE 
 SONGS LIKE TAAL OR DIL SE OR LAGAAN...HE CANT YOU KNOW WHY 
 BECAUSE ONLY AR RAHMAN COULD COMPOSE LIKE THAT...THAT IS WHY..HIS

 IN MALAYSIA MANY MALAY PEOPLE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HINDI NOR TAMIL

 THEY ARE LISTENING TO AR RAHMAN 'S MUSIC.AND YOU KNOW 
 WHY...BECAUSE IT IS AR RAHMAN'S PRODUCTS...AND NOT EVERYONE CAN

[arr] After the Smashing Hit of RDB, A.R. Rahman is the most wanted Music Director of the Country.

2006-03-11 Thread shaik mahaboob



Dear Friends,After the resounding bumper Hit of Rang De Basanti, ARR has become the most acclaimed and wanted music director of the country. It is learnt that every ace director of the countryis now interested in signing AR Rahman. However, ARR should be very careful in choosing films, he should be restrained from scoring music for the period films.I wish him all the best.  Shaik Mahaboob
