I don't think the dates have yet been finalised. Second week of 
April. The most possible date, though, is April 13th. And this is 
based on a rumour. But the concert is on. Definitely.

Love,
Adi.

Re: [arr] Dose anyone else here miss ARR's long hair?

[arr pavan]

Dude ! i know Arr's wife as one of reasons. But before that i remember his Sun 
TV interview during his first VM release, Arr shared the info, how Sony asked 
him to change his looks to have long hair & some more changes which he refused 
and agreed to go only with long hair. In addition to it, this link reads 
"Rahman himself underwent a physical transformation in order to feature in the 
music videos of the album and grew long hair, much to his dislike initially" :)

And what sponsors are you talking about? He kept short hair ( after Mecca) 
cuz
his wife liked it :)

his music speaks substance with style. To me he looks good in short hair. 
Personally i feel grooming is important to make one feel more confident but 
that should not take them to the level of discomfort, while at work or concert, 
be it for clothes or make-ups.  The discomfort level might prevent them from 
giving their best.

[arr] Re:[Non - ARR] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

[arr pavan]

Dude Nagaraj ! few days back, i read an interesting thought of words from a 
real estate advt as told by a 13th century saint. It says, "Do what is 
necessary. In that, do what is possible. Suddenly you will find yourself doing 
the impossible". Arr is the case of impossible thing that he excelled to skies. 
Including IR sir, those who all gave chance to ARR in his initial stages must  
be thanked at this point. Arr certainly worked with a good task master, maestro 
Ilayaraja. You need to be motivated to reach heights. IR & other such directors 
have been a cause of motivation for ARR. 
   
  From there ARR sharpened & moulded his creativity. Without the basics & main 
curriculum you cannot jump to creative point. These video links related to 
guitars for those who think IR otherwise. Lot more there on these lines. When 
we prepare our Resume, we do not ignore our previous employers & include them 
as our experience. We are grateful to previous employers for giving an 
opportunity howsoever we differ with them. While we were struggling for an 
opening, we got that job. I could say we would definitely gained more 
confidence in work in initial stages which makes to move to next offer & so on 
to do our own business successfully.

Dude ganesh n !  just join the preparatory course in ARR school which is open 
to all ages, will help you to appreciate music indepth. Or there are music 
professionals here. Mail your clarifications & they will refer to the songs & 
timings for the words you need to know. Once you are used to such things from 
different songs & after repeated listenings, you can help others.

I'm a novice when it comes to identifying raagas, Bass, jazz, harmony,

could a person who has little knowledge of Music Identify such
instances in his songs.

[Vithur]

The concert is part of Rajasthan Day Celebrations which go on for a week
from 24th March to 30th March 2008. There are a series of functions planned.

25th March 2008 - There is a Dance Ballet by Hema Malini  at 8 Pm in Amrudoo
Ka Bagh

27th - Rahet Fateh Ali Khan - 8 Pm

[arr] Re: Some debatable decisions...

[Tapey3]

Madhushree and Udit Narayan in any Tamil song.  Terrible
pronunciation.  Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal have been good in Tamil.

Hariharan- Vaaji Vaaji (Sivaji).  Never thought his voice was right
for this song.

Hariharan- Aalala Kanda (Sangamam).  IMO this song needed someone
earthier, maybe SP Balasubramaniam.

Chitra- Rang De Basanti.  I feel her singing was too thin and reedy in
this song, especially compared to Daler Mehndi.

Re: [arr] Dose anyone else here miss ARR's long hair?

[Shah Navas]

Pavan,

ARR was uncomfortable with his long hairs? I don't think so. Then he
wouldn't have grown it in the first place. And Sponsors have nothing to to
with his hair. He is not endorsing any hair care products.

When asked in an Interview about his new looks, he said he had shaved when
he had been to Mecca and later his wife liked the cropped hair (fortunately
or unfortunately) and so he is continuing.

Re: [arr] How can ARR wear so many hats?????

[Shah Navas]

Yeah..This has been my claim. Just comparing him to Mozart and Beethoven to
me is pointless. I am not aware of a single musician who is versatile in so
many different genres and top notch at most of them. His capacity to learn
is infinite. I don't want to start another debate here, but I can't this
keep humble opinion of mine unsaid - Rahman is way ahead of any other
musician India has ever produced when comes to versatility.

I am expecting a pure classical album using only Indian classical
instruments, which would answer the critics about his ability to create
music without computers. We are seeing that only in parts in different
albums and Water.

The Movie is produced by SPBalasubranyam.

Interesting thing is that of 6 songs, SPB sung 4 of them

Female lead is by SPSailaja, SPB's sister.
There is another girl called Pallavi, SPB's daughter.
Ofcourse KSChitra and few other singers chipped in

What might be the reason, is it to contain the budget by

[arr] Re: ARR Song Recommendation

[Thineshan]

the whole album is a masterpiece, but it went unnoticed by TFMI. such
a pity. i remmeber the day of its release, i was listening to the
songs at 3 A.M. on my ipod in the morning as i got home late from a
party and i was so excited hearing the "sound" of the album. it was a
new kind of recording, especially the vocal mix. i kept thinking at
that time, that this album is going to elevate Rahman back to the
TFMI's musical throne (after mild albums like star, parasuram etc),
but it didnt do good. if this same album would have came out after
sivaji or atm, i am sure it would have been a hit because people
wouldnt have had the impression that Rahman lost it, which lead them
to dismiss the songs without paying attention to it like they used to.

[arr] How can ARR wear so many hats?????

[Chord]

Ask yourself this question:  Do you really realize the true depth of
ARR's talents?  

No matter how long I've known ARR's music or praised him in my own
mind, many times, I just can't get my head around how in the name of
God is he able to compose within so many genres of music!  It's one
thing if a composer is dominant within his regional or cultural
sphere, but to create supreme music that emcompasses so many world
styles, genres, etc. is just beyond mind blowing.  

Just today, I listened to a Hindu Bhajan, a trance song, a Sufi
Qawali, an Arabic track, Chinese music, Western classical symphony,
Tamil folk, Rock, Jazz, Reggae. All one composer...ARR.  There is
no way on earth that a mere mortal can do this WITHOUT divine
influence.  Rahman is living in two worlds.one with us, and one
with the almighty.  And we are simply blessed that he can transport
music so divinely influenced and send it to our longing hearts and
souls.  

There are many amazing things about this world, its people.  Most
often, I can grapple amazing feats due to mind over matter, hard work,
determination, etc.  But, I just simply cannot imagine that sheer
volume of talent ARR possesses in being able to simply command such
wide range of music with such prowess and elan.  

Just think about it.  We know how amazing ARR is, but do we REALLY
understand the depth and enormity of his talent?  I don't think we or
anyone else does, neither does ARR himself.  

Wish more of the world could appreciate what I'm trying to describe
here.  There have been many composers who have come and gone who have
been simply genius and amazing within their sphere of music, but
NONENOBODY EVER has commanded as wide of a range of music as ARR.
 In my books, he is simply one of if not THE MOST broadly talented
composer the earth has ever witnessed, only not yet realized or
appreciated by all.

Simple praise just cannot do justice to his talent.  

Re: [arr] Dose anyone else here miss ARR's long hair?

[arr pavan]

Dude ! i feel Arr himself was uncomfortable in long hair. It must be because of 
some contract rules, sponsors etc. etc. But that does not need for him when his 
music speaks substance with style. To me he looks good in short hair. 
Personally i feel grooming is important to make one feel more confident but 
that should not take them to the level of discomfort, while at work or concert, 
be it for clothes or make-ups.  The discomfort level might prevent them from 
giving their best.

Re: [arr] Dose anyone else here miss ARR's long hair?

[Shah Navas]

Exactly Chord. These days I feel Rahman is truly crossing the language
barrier. I can't really put it down in technical terms as you.

The emotions that I experience when listening to Rahman's music is
definitely richer. There is an certain abstraction that Rahman reaches with
his music. . I call it as the realm of unknown. . which evokes a very subtle
feeling each time I listen to  (like Tere Bina, Tu bin Bataye, Man Mohana
and Sundari, an underrated song and many more). I used to feel it with
albums like Dilse, Alaipauthey, Meenaxi.

Its a pity that such albums are becoming rare in Tamil. Only directors who
provide Rahman such scope remain Maniratnam and Rajeev Menon and Kadir to
some extent (almost all his movies have a sad ending) .

Hope Rahman works with Selvaragavan  (of  7G,  Kadal  Kondein). This is has
been discussed already here and soon might work out also(??)

Its my gut feeling that there is something waiting to explode within Rahman.
. . He is cutting down on the movie assignments. . Spending good time on
projects close to his heart. . Never-before-in-history marketing by Rahman
of KM music conservatory. Rahman always lets his music speak. But now he is
speaking .. So there is something really awesome and big that I expect will
come out of this. . a symphony fusing Indian and Western orchestra. . And
live symphonies in India!!  Even imagining 300 musicians performing live on
Rahman's notes gives goosebumps to me .. .

Also Rahman the singer has become more mystical with songs like Theeyil
vilundha, Tere Bina, Kwaja mere Kwaja. .

A.R.Rahman - The Adorable Human Being

[arr] Some debatable decisions...

[up84mouli]

Hi All,

Some decisions made by Rahman in the recent past regarding Singer
selections have been debatable...

1. Nityashree singing "Jack and Jill" in Parasuram. I still wonder why
she even accepted it. Is it because of Rahman??

2. Janaki singing "Enthan Nenjil" in a movie. I forgot the name. It
was acted by Manoj (Bharatiraja's son), but not Taj Mahal. Do you even
remember it??? huh...

3. Sunitha Sarathi singing "My wish comes true..." from Kisna. It
wasn't very proper choice... even for the situation in the movie. No
probs with Vasundara Das for Lagaan though! The rendition for
"Warriors in peace..." from WOHE was slightly better, i feel.

Just some "minor irritations" in the otherwise perfect list I guess...
Please share your opinions.

Thanks.
Chandra.

[arr] Sagnik dreaming to sing with ARR

 Sagnik At Venom (TOI photo)
Partying with a star just got better.

He not only upped the hot quotient but made more heads turn by the second. A
complete
show-stopper, Tollywood's hot property, Sagnik, was surely the centre of all
the attention when he accompanied us for Starry Nights.

At the first stop for the night 'Underground' Sagnik who loves music, was
quick to walk up to the DJs' console to check out the equipment. "It's
amazing to know how DJs consistently mix music to keep the crowd on their
toes," remarked the actor. After listening to a few tracks, it was time to
move to the next stop, Soho Lifestyle, Kitchen & Bar.

Once there, he attracted a lot of female attention. A little reluctant
initially, Sagnik finally hit the dance floor. A self-confessed recluse,
Sagnik admitted to not partying a lot. "After pack-up, I usually go home. I
don't have many friends so the question of a night out doesn't arise."
Compliment the actor on his envious physique, and he retorts cheekily after
a fiery photo shoot at Venom, "It only earns me baddie roles here." And
while Mauja hi mauja is the song he'd like to shake a leg to, after seeing
him bust a few moves, we had to ask him if he would ever do an item number.
"Why not? If SRK can do it, so can I," he said. "My dream item number would
have music by AR Rahman. Shaan would do the vocal bit, while Bosco-Caesar
will teach me the moves," he grinned. Now if this dream really comes true,
the temperature's not going to dip for the next one year, for sure!

Re: [arr] LOTR

[chandra sekar]

I remember him talking about the colloboration in an interview.It was like
vattrina would compose a track and send it down and he would then suggest
changes or add his work and vice versa.Guess we cant put our finger down
saying "this track  is vattrina... this is boss...".Though i guess his
contribution is the major portion in the mentioned 9 tracks compared to
others.

Re: [arr] LOTR

[Thineshan]

the songs that have his name are the songs where he has contributed a
lot (70%?). in those songs, the melody is completely his and half of
the orchestration is his (Nightingle's name is listed because he also
contributed a lot in orchestrating ARRs melodies). thats the story of
the 9 tracks. 

for the rest, you can still hear some ARR touch, altho minor, there is
still some contribution. 

however, in the album details, ARR is given prime importance as he is
the major contributor (his name is listed first, vartinna, and then
nightangle). neways dont worry about who did what. just listen and you
can feel ARR where his contributions greatly exceeds others (which are
the 9 tracks). 

Re: [arr] LOTR

[Arun Bangalore]

As per the cdits says all 3 some type of contribution in all the songs..May 
be those 9 were the most driven by ARR ...Anyways songs are awesome

Thanks

Re: [arr] Dose anyone else here miss ARR's long hair?

[Chord]

I share your thoughts on this.  Please share more.  I think Rahman's
music has indeed matured in subtle ways with more use of symphonic
orchestration and nuanced compositional styles, as well as more
emphasis on melody (not that he was not melodious before!)

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

[Thulasi Ram]

my guess is a collective mix of acoustic bass guitar and electric guitar..

basically, u can find all songs from ARR that has the bass guitar embedded
in the final product (song).. use of acoustic bass guitar + electric guitar
can be heard in the "na na na" theme (athiradee theme) that is used for
SUPERSTAR credits

[arr] Re: Khudha Ke liye

[Rajeev Gandhi]

Hi rayrai2k,
here's the link:
http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/broadband/video/Parties-and-Events/6UOh7385/3/Audio-Release-Of-Khuda-Kay-Liye.html

yes I see what you are saying about the bass arrangement but that
where the similarity ends for me. I think they have their own style.

[arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

[ganesh_n1412]

It was realy wonderful to read al the examples of his bass works. But
i felt the thread name should have been Rahman's Bass Works or
something similar to it. I say this because using the Bass Guitar is
not unique to Rahman. Ilayaraja is considered as one of the Greatest
Bass Guitarists himself.

to know more read this
http://www.geocities.com/violinvicky/BossOfBass.html
http://www.raaja.com/guitarprasanna/

No intentions to start a debate here. Jus felt that certain facts
needed to be cleared as we shouldnt be ignorant of certain landmarks
in tamil music. So only thing i wanted to say was that it wasn't
"Unique" to Rahman, others have also used it.

Regards,
Ganesh

[arr] BD Reminds

[arr_raghu]

When Bombay Dreams released , its Bombay awakes and Sleeps
tracks reminded me "Idhi Tholi Raatri", a hit song of a telugu movie
Majnu released way back in 1989; composed by LP.
http://www.musicindiaonline.com/music/telugu/s/movie_name.6247/
Its only a vague reminder.. I cdnt pinpoint the resemblance..

Those who have heard this song a lot in its time can understand
what I mean here..
You can try too..let us see if anyone can see the correlation.

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

[Chord]

A bass guitar is very low sounding on the octave.  You have to pay
attention many times to listen to is since it's usually well mixed in
with the other tracks.  Only in certain songs is the bass track
outstanding in its relative volume level.  Other guitars are higher
pitched and have better lustre tone and texture.

[arr] ARR Song Recommendation

[Chord]

Been a while since I've listened to this one, but Theeyil from
Godfather sung by ARR has got to be one of his most haunting songs
ever.  Listen to this song on headphones and just get captured by the
power of ARR's magic.  It's pure music therapy.  JUST AWESOME!

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

Speaking of R.D. Burman on guitars or Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh etc. why none of their 
children or anyone from their families shone to success in this vast music 
field ?  or anyone from them ?

Chaiyyan Chaiyyan was a song where the guitar (Bass & Lead)dominates

been successful with such experiments. 
If another bass guitar work claims its the Noor Un ala song where the
beginning Noor Noor Noor word is sung and the Bass mix is just unique. 
Now remember kabhi Neen Neem from Yuva, how come nobody noticed the
beginning and the first interlude a brilliant composition and programming.
The beginning of kandukondein kandukondein is mesmerizing but is
always special. 
Kehna hi kya (Bombay) was done completely on a Bass guitar and claps
leaving aside the alaap from our BOSS in the first interlude. 
It would be crime if I dont consider Tu Hi re (Bombay) which was again
a complete Bass Guitar 
These were just the few rays from the sun more its discussed is the

RDB & Illayaraja also had enough good songs in their kitty with IR
himself being an excellent guitar performer he too tried few
exceptional songs. Churaliya hain Tumne jo dil ko from RD Burman is an
evergreen song.

Dude ! taran is fixed in his opinion not to appreciate Arr solely even by 
mistake. How vehemently he speaks about JA music sounds no good to ears but 
only with picturisation. Arr is like sugar. Without sugar sweets are bitter but 
without sweets, Sugar itself is a sweet to be enjoyed & is a SOS  medicine. It 
is pity taran unable to enjoy sugar due to diabetic, prolonged illness

Also another question to all my knowledgable fans.

I'm a novice when it comes to identifying raagas, Bass, jazz, harmony,
chords...etc in Rahman's songs. Could some1 please shed light on how
could a person who has little knowledge of Music Identify such
instances in his songs.

[arr] Re: Director Vasanth 's experiences with ARR - Part I

[Tapey3]

Sridhar himself has said in an interview that sometimes ARR will just
want the breath of the flute.  This was on an old Doordarshan
interview with ARR.

What was the real extent of ARR's role in IR's troupe?  I thought he
just played keyboard for a brief time.

Re: [arr] Re: Rahman concert in Jaipur?? I think so !

[Shah Navas]

I have some reservations regarding the Jaipur concert, given it is free.
Crowd management becomes tough.

Gopal/Vijay,

Is the concert being marketed or any plans for that?  Or will it remain a
low key.
Any info would be appreciated.

[arr] ARR & K. Srinivas Murthy

[rayrai2k]

Little is been discussed or talked about this man K. Srinivas Murthy
who had always been with our BOSS and has been conducting the strings
section for ARR. KSM has been able to deliver the transcend for ARR's
composition. I am not sure when did he associate with our BOSS my
little memory recalls from KanduKondein KanduKondein. Does anybody
here have more details about him? From his looks he appears to be very
senior and has to be an expert in his domain.

[arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?

[rayrai2k]

ARR is pioneer is projecting professional value of any instrument and
the instrumentalist as well.
Prior to ARR music was largely Dependant or produced with a large case
of orchestra and used to be more live more or less one shot go. IR was
the master for this technique. This is one category his long term
loyal fans claim his superiority. He too has done beautiful
composition using guitar and has performed many tracks for GK
Venkatesh his guru whilst the later was composing for Kannada songs.
The more popular melody of Idea Cell phone was originally a song in
Kannada for the movie Pallavi AnuPallavi has a great guitar melody was
an IR song. If somebody is interested pls mail me to my ID as I want
to keep non-ARR stuff to the minimal here. 
I am more carried away for the usage of Cello & Double Bass by our
GURU in the BGMs. 
Also the usage of Mohana Veena was the first time ever the instrument
was used in a movie songs and BGM. Radha Kaise na Jale first interlude
was used to project the girl's state of mind using this instrument.
the same instrument is used to express the calmness in Snehidane song.
In alaipayuthey the first scene where shalini is having argument with
her mother on the breakfast has a BGM in Mohana Veena though a very
short piece and will only appear once in the entire movie will remain
in the mind for ever.

Re: [arr] ARR"s popularity and respect is heartwarming, rising once again

[arr pavan]

Finally every award & the jury select Arr by this view point of sheer 
brilliance& hence not biased.

  I'm talking about all of India, but specifically focused on the North
where he has been the most successful of late. You take the music of
RDB+Guru+JA...and what do you get? A resounding blockbuster trio of
success! 

Go to youtube and type any of the songs from RDB, Guru, JA, and read
the comments from viewers. Just overwhelming praise and affection for
ARR, albeit maybe from fans, but recent music sales all over for these
three albums prove my point. 

If we could graph ARR's mass popularity up North, you would see him
peak in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s, then dip prior to RDB,
but pick up dramatically since RDB to now. Post Saathiya and Prior to
RDB, heard many babbling about how ARR has lost it, etc (except for us
and critical music lovers!) But, he has really struck back and
captured the hearts of Indians everywhere in the past three films from
North to South. Even in Tamil, he has had tremendous success with
Shivaji, JOK, ATM to a certain extent. 

I think the graph is only going to go higher by the time this year is
done..Ghajni, Jaane Tu, Adda, Yuvraaj, Hindi Shivaji, Dilli 6.wow!
