Re: [arr] Semi ARR - ARR not composing for Krishna's next
Thanx a million for posting this Vithurji... From this interview,Krishna looks like a nice guy.. Got gud music from ARR last time.. Ex.. New york nagaram, munbe vaa, machakaari and also excellent bgm..riga riga riga sa sa sa bgm.. i kept that bgm as ringtone and so many non tamils and others were asking me wat was that song? JOK had a different script..and musically satisfied ARR fan completly.. That was the reason i was interested in Krishna's next.. I understand few dont like krishna..thats ok.. I will wait for his 3rd movie.. Thanx again Vithurji.. Thanx is too small a word for the amount of service u r doing .. we will also try to contribute..

How did you become a Director ? It was a long cherished dream of about 12 years . But the starting point of me becoming a director was because of Rahman Sir. I didnt have any idea of whom to start this film from , and how to go about it . Kalaipuli Dhanu was the producer. One day, Dhanu Sir called me and told me that an appointment with Rahman Sir has been sought and he told me to come. I was so happy to listen to him saying that as I will never know if such a time would ever happen in the future. It was a very rainy day, and my bike was also giving me some problems. I came to ARR studio fully drenched. Rahman sir told that he would listen to the script another day.But I was ready with the script. And also asked if we could finish it in 15 minutes, as he had some other commitment to follow. But I took 2 1/2 hrs of his time. He didnt tell anything, and even switched off his mobile and was listening. After 2 1/2 hrs, he told to call Dhanu ( Producer ) and asked When can we have the composing ?. And that day cannot be forgotten in my life First I met Rahman sir, and then only was the script finalised with Actor Surya. we did the recording for Munbe Vaa song . 2. When did you get to hear Rahman Sir songs ? right from the time Roja , I have been liking Rahman Sir song. The first song that Rahman Sir gave was Munbe Vaa, and next was Machaikaari. Picturisation of Rahman Sir songs was a tough challenge for me. He composes music so superbly, and its a real challenge to picturise them well. When I had discussion with Rahman Sir, regarding Munbe Vaa song, I told him the desire of picturising it in that way. So Rahman Sir visualised it before I could visualise and gave me that wonderful song. 3. Other experiences with ARR ?? Apart from his music, which no can fathom, he is a very good human being. The thought that I had about him at a distance , got transformed into an admiration, when I went near him. A man of such heights, behaving like a very ordinary person increased my admiration levels. He sees everybody as a human being, irrespective of whosover he may be and whatsoever he may be. I am also trying my level best to be like ARR 4. David Lee - Fav Hollywood Director 5. future Film - Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Its a film produced by Motherland Pictures . 6. Fav Songs of ARR - Kaadhal Rojave, Vennilave ( Minsarava kanavu ) , Maduraikku Pogadhadee ( ATM ) . Athiradhee ( SIVAJEE ) A director must be a good experiencer of music. He should be able to experience it first. ARR finished all the songs of SOK within 30 minutes. The first and foremost tune of ARR was liked by me . ARR told me I do not know. I liked working with your team. It makes me feel energetic. Fav Songs in Hindi - Roobaroo ( RDB ) , chaiyya chaiyya, Tanha tanha ( Rangeela ) , Chinamma Chilakkama ( Meenaxi ) Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Future film; a Musical Film. I wanted ARR for this. But he is too busy. But If I approach him, he will not say NO. But I do not want to pressurise him for this. But I wanted ARR to light a candle for my film, as I am inroducing a New Music Director. ARR asked me Tell me ; What help you want. I seeked ARR's Blessings for which he told You will surely become a good director. Do not worry. My prayers are always there .

Dear Sunil, Agreed, recognising the effort of musicians are important. But illayaraja has an orchestra and arr does not. In this case its becomes difficult to detail all the names in one cd cover. Yuvan,Harris and our boss works quite similar. Anyway, I am not comparing Illayaraja with arr coz both are from diffrent schools but to me though i am a arr fan, in terms of composition raja is way above.

A percussionist earning his daily bread by performing old and new Hindi film songs with a band, the applause Ghate received for an octopad interlude one day made him wonder who the piece had originally been performed by. This started a series of questions, remembers Ghate. Questions like what role do instrumentalists play in a song's composition? How much do they earn? And finally, why don't Hindi film music credits include their names when private albums and western music tracks make it a point to do so? While it's true that some composers had up to hundred instruments playing for one track, there were always some instrumental pieces, performed solo or in duets, which formed the essence of the track, Ghate argues.

The film is successfully doing well among the masses and now, he has kick-started with his next project titled ‘Ponner-Shankar’. The film has Prashanth donning dual roles and it’s a historic period movie about brave brothers raising their voices against the colonial domination. Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi had personally invited A.R. Rahman to his residence. Sources close to him have stated that he has requested Rahman to score music for this film. Kalainyar had watched period films like Lagaan, Mangal Pandey and got enthralled with Rahman’s musical score. Now, Rahman has almost accepted to score music for the film and things would be confirmed sooner. Some Media quoted A R Rahman visited CM regarding KM music conservatory. Now it becomes entirely different scenario. So we need to wait n watch. A week ago Thiyagarajan told that he would be roped in with the country’s best technicians to make the film as an unforgettable historical movie in Indian Cinema.

[arr] Do signature tunes for brands work?
Do signature tunes for brands work? Seema Sindhu / New Delhi July 23, 2008, 0:40 IST Jingles, backed with a good idea, do help etch a brand in consumers' minds. Perhaps, this is why we still remember the old tunes and the jingles of *Hamara Bajaj* and Nirma. The concept is making a comeback with companies like Bajaj, Titan, Kingfisher, Nirma and Airtel using their old jingles enmeshed with new visuals. So, is the concept likely to bring brand recognition for these firms? Prasoon Joshi, executive chairman (India) and regional executive creative director (Asia Pacific), McCann-Erickson, says: Today, the entertainment quotient in life has gone up. TV, films, online, ringtones, the options are endless. The shelf life of a campaign or an ad has gone down. The 'melodious' tune, be it in films or ads, which takes its time to gently make way to your heart is a rarity for these reasons. Bobby Pawar, chief creative officer, Mudra group, says: Audio signatures, such as Titan's Mozart score or Airtel's tune composed by AR Rahman aid brand recognition and memorability. But, let's remember that these two are among the few that succeeded and after considerable exposure over a long period of time. Pawar says: Jingles were prevalent when media was not as cluttered as it is today. Now merely singing the virtues of the product will fail to engage consumers. *Cadbury*'s or *Hamara Bajaj* are exceptions, where although the communication had a powerful jingle, it was also driven by a strong idea. Which is why, they are still memorable. http://www.business-standard.com/common/news_article.php?autono=329386leftnm=6subLeft=0chkFlg = regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always

Re: [arr] Semi ARR - ARR not composing for Krishna's next
Vithur, With due respects, I think you are over crediting Krishna for Munbe Vaa and other songs of SOK. They were great songs. I listen to New York Nagaram and Munbe Vaa atleast twice a day. But if we use the same yardstick, we should credit SJ Surya's vibes for 'Mayilirage' and Praveen Kanth's vibes for 'Kaiyil midhakkum kanava nee'. Possible? :) New York Nagaram is one of the best songs of ARR, and unfortunately it is one of the worst picturised song of ARR.

How did you become a Director ? It was a long cherished dream of about 12 years . But the starting point of me becoming a director was because of Rahman Sir. I didnt have any idea of whom to start this film from , and how to go about it . Kalaipuli Dhanu was the producer. One day, Dhanu Sir called me and told me that an appointment with Rahman Sir has been sought and he told me to come. I was so happy to listen to him saying that as I will never know if such a time would ever happen in the future. It was a very rainy day, and my bike was also giving me some problems. I came to ARR studio fully drenched. Rahman sir told that he would listen to the script another day.But I was ready with the script. And also asked if we could finish it in 15 minutes, as he had some other commitment to follow. But I took 2 1/2 hrs of his time. He didnt tell anything, and even switched off his mobile and was listening. After 2 1/2 hrs, he told to call Dhanu ( Producer ) and asked When can we have the composing ?. And that day cannot be forgotten in my life First I met Rahman sir, and then only was the script finalised with Actor Surya. we did the recording for Munbe Vaa song . 2. When did you get to hear Rahman Sir songs ? right from the time Roja , I have been liking Rahman Sir song. The first song that Rahman Sir gave was Munbe Vaa, and next was Machaikaari. Picturisation of Rahman Sir songs was a tough challenge for me. He composes music so superbly, and its a real challenge to picturise them well. When I had discussion with Rahman Sir, regarding Munbe Vaa song, I told him the desire of picturising it in that way. So Rahman Sir visualised it before I could visualise and gave me that wonderful song. 3. Other experiences with ARR ?? Apart from his music, which no can fathom, he is a very good human being. The thought that I had about him at a distance , got transformed into an admiration, when I went near him. A man of such heights, behaving like a very ordinary person increased my admiration levels. He sees everybody as a human being, irrespective of whosover he may be and whatsoever he may be. I am also trying my level best to be like ARR 4. David Lee - Fav Hollywood Director 5. future Film - Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Its a film produced by Motherland Pictures . 6. Fav Songs of ARR - Kaadhal Rojave, Vennilave ( Minsarava kanavu ) , Maduraikku Pogadhadee ( ATM ) . Athiradhee ( SIVAJEE ) A director must be a good experiencer of music. He should be able to experience it first. ARR finished all the songs of SOK within 30 minutes. The first and foremost tune of ARR was liked by me . ARR told me I do not know. I liked working with your team. It makes me feel energetic. Fav Songs in Hindi - Roobaroo ( RDB ) , chaiyya chaiyya, Tanha tanha ( Rangeela ) , Chinamma Chilakkama ( Meenaxi ) Yen Eppadi Mayakinnai - Future film; a Musical Film. I wanted ARR for this. But he is too busy. But If I approach him, he will not say NO. But I do not want to pressurise him for this. But I wanted ARR to light a candle for my film, as I am inroducing a New Music Director. ARR asked me Tell me ; What help you want. I seeked ARR's Blessings for which he told You will surely become a good director. Do not worry. My prayers are always there .

Most audio companies started cribbing but their fortune has taken a new turn. The audio shops are back to making brisk business and audio CDs are sold like hot cakes now. Due thanks should be given to corporate who entered the field and also the catchy albums which were released in the past few days. Rajinikanth's 'Kuselan' set to tunes by G V Prakash, Harris Jayaraj's 'Dhaam Dhoom' and 'Sathyam', A R Rahman's 'Sakkarakatti' and Yuvan Shankar Raja's brisk tunes in 'Saroja' are sold like hot cakes. The songs in these five albums are already topping the charts. Music-lovers are keen to buy them as they feel the songs are worth listening to. The audio shop owners say there are very good turnouts in their shops. Hopefully the trend would continue. -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always

[arr] Jodhaa Akbar
Jodhaa Akbar (2007) July 23, 2008 by Alexhttp://lightscamerahistory.wordpress.com/author/oriana78/ Set during the 16th century in India, Jodhaa Akbar tells us the love story between Akbar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbar_the_Great, one of the most powerful and famous Mughal emperors and his wife, the Rajput princess Jodhabai http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodhabai. The movie starts with some scenes during Akbar's boyhood and how he grew to later become an astute ruler who favoured culture and knowledge. Years later, after many conquests and having built an Empire, he finally wins the allegiance of the Rajsputs and then agrees to marry the daughter of King Bharmal of Amer, the lovely princess Jodhaa. It's a political allegiance and the two will only meet briefly some time before the marriage and with a curtain between them. Of course, not everyone is happy with this union and many conspiracies start to blossom… At ease in battle and political schemes, Akbar will be completely torn apart by the honest and fiery Jodhaa and it quickly becomes clear that the only way to conquer his Queen is to win her heart. The plot is mainly focused in Akbar-Jodhaa's relationship, how they manage to live together despite their cultural and religious differences and political confrontations between Rajputs and Mughals. Some of you might know already Ashutosh Gowariker for Lagaanhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169102/or even Swades http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367110/ and admire his talent behind a camera and how he surrounds himself with a great crew who manages to create some of the most beautiful Indian movies. We certainly need to mention that this story is mostly fiction (the director claims 70% of the movie is the product of his imagination) and that many controversy still runs about princess Jodhaa. Despite the theories and several discussions, they will not ruin your pleasure while watching this movie and the amazing photography and beautiful costumes will certainly take your breath away. This movie is full of enjoyable moments, but the scene of the vegetarian lunch prepared by the Queen and her discussion with Maham Anga (the intimidating mother of Akbar) must be one of the best. The courtship is also rather funny and those looks between them just sparkle! Some other scenes are a bit off, like the sword fight between Jodhaa and Akbar, that really didn't seem necessary, or the final battle that could have ended much sooner, but it was still entertaining. After 3h30m of movie, you're asking for more! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0706787/ and Hrithik Roshan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004335/ have an incredible chemistry on screen and you can feel it in every scene, which is one of the main reasons for this success. Rai Bachchan continues to show to everyone why she is considered one of the most talented actresses in India. This woman truly has something special, no matter how many people are on the screen, you are always looking at her and this has nothing to do with her beauty. Roshan is a little bit too muscled for a 16th century emperor but we'll not complain much about that. He is regal and bears the title of Emperor rather well. The music is truly magnificent but nothing less was expected from the acclaimed composer A. R. Rahman http://www.arrahman.com/ who already showed his talent in so many movie soundtracks. A must-see for all Bollywood fans and certainly a movie for all those who appreciate a good romantic story with some action and history thrown in.

He did not want to compose it, told the director (Govind Nihalani), but Nihalani insisted. After a lot of back and forth between them, Rahman agreed- but did not like the song.

Initially, we thought of retaining it for just one week. But looking at the feedback, we may stretch it to three weeks. However, let me add, the song will not be a part of the final cut in the DVD.

[arr] Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
Dear Rahmaniacs, VIJAY IYER ( our co-owner and moderator of Yahoogroups) was in air today , sharing his experiences with Raihanaji on Aaha FM 91.9. A brief of what he discussed with Raihanaji is as follows :- Hi. This is Vijay. I am from Mumbai, just moved to Chennai. I was a big fan of AR, then became a friend of him, and its my good fortune that I work for him now. I am based in Chennai now. Rahman has announced his new music label, which is called KM Music. Its a music company. I manage the Label. I also do other things like managing the content of his website , lot of creative stuff etc . Km Music has been Rahman 's dream, and he has mentioned this in a lot of his interviews. The Kind of music he likes... Nowadays, if you see, all sort of music is commercialised. and music sales is not that much. Basically, a film which has 4 or 5 Kutthu songs are become the pick of the day ( This was told by Raihannaji), and thats what sells ( told by Vijay) . There needs to be a market for true Music Lovers, and Rahman shares that feeling, and this label of his will give an opportunity for him as well as other musicians to explore what is not within commercial parameters. Almost from the time, Roja got released, I have been a fan. Actually, I dont know, if I could take you through that journey, I used to tour Chennai , in my vacation during my school days. That time Roja cassette had released, and my uncle had bought me the same. On the return journey to Bombay, I didnt listen to the Roja cassette. My sister was listening to it in her walkman. And then she used to say, Its verynice; very nice . But I nevr heard it. Then , I was surfing Tv Channels. Then I heard, Netru Illadha Maatram . Then I went back to Roja, and thats how the journey began Then in 1994, when I came to Chennai, I saw this movie Duet. The song Anjali Anjali with awesome interludes and awesome song. In fact, right after the movie, I made up my mind, that I want to meet Rahman. I dont know if you would remember or not, when I called up the studio, ( the house ) , you answered the phone, and it was you who guided me to the place. So, Anjali Anjali is a very good song. I also love the song, Lukka Chuppi and want to dedicate to my mother. Rahman 's duet with Lataji. For the past some years , you listen only to Love duets, and this is first of its kind, where a mother and her son talk to each other in this manner, and its really nice. *Experiences as a FAN * At that time, there were only cassettes, because the Cds were expensive. That too, I was in Bombay. Very rarely, do you get Tamil cassettes there. There used to be a store called, Giri Stores, where we used to get Tamil cassettes. and I was little far off from this place. At those times, we never used to know , when Rahman is releasing a track, as the internet was not that prevalent. I used to call the Giri stores almost daily, to find if any new release of Rahman had got released. For getting a cassette worth Rs 50 /-, a lot of phone calls used to be made, and the shop keeper used to reply, No Sir. nothing has come . But, I used to make it sure, that whenever the cassette got released in Bombay, I used to go 45 minutes by train, and get the cassette. In fact, right from Pudiya Mugam to Sakkarakatti, I still remember, how and when I have gone to buy the cassette. That was fantastic. Towards 2000, when the Internet became popular, we formed a Fan Club on the Internet. It was Gopal ( he is based in Bangalore ), who started this Fan Club . And world over members started joining, and the activities kind of increased. Before, all this, we used to feel that it was we who are big fans , and after coming into the community, we could realise, that there are much more crazy fans than us. Every Interview of Rahman, Photos of rahman ( My cupboard.. I used to paste photos ) , Cassettes, Cassette covers, Rare songs, Ad Jingles, were there with everyone. This community was a good forum, for rare information exchange. Vijay sings a song, Tere Bina . ( Very nice singing from Vijay... :-)) *Transformation into a Friend of Rahman * ** Its an interesting story. In 1994, when I came to Chennai, through you, I met Rahman. After that, I wasnt been able to be in touch with him, as I was in Bombay, and he was in Chennai. There were no cell phones or emails at that time. After my studies, I took up a job. I was lucky enough, as in one of my jobs, I used to frequently travel abroad. That was the time, in 2000-01, when Rahman was doing Bombay Dreams in London. so, one day, when I was travelling to London. I saw Sir in Bombay Airport. I ran towards him, and asked him, if he remembered me, when I had met him up in 94, and he told, NO.. So, i thought that this was the opportunity, as no one would disturb him, in the plane. No Directors, nor producers. For the full 8 hrs, I spoke with him, in the similar manner as I am speaking with you now. I told him abt how I bought his cassettes, Internet Community etc .

It is a fantastic song, melodious and stylish (it is my most favorite from the album). while he has made a good decision to add the song back to movie I could not understand what is the point of adding it for only 2-3 weeks and why the heck not in the final cut on DVD? totally un-understandable. if he adds the song to final cut will people stop buying it or what? strange. -- Check out the all-new face of Yahoo!

A brief of what he discussed with Raihanaji is as follows :- Hi. This is Vijay. I am from Mumbai, just moved to Chennai. I was a big fan of AR, then became a friend of him, and its my good fortune that I work for him now. I am based in Chennai now. Rahman has announced his new music label, which is called KM Music. Its a music company. I manage the Label. I also do other things like managing the content of his website , lot of creative stuff etc . Km Music has been Rahman 's dream, and he has mentioned this in a lot of his interviews. The Kind of music he likes... Nowadays, if you see, all sort of music is commercialised. and music sales is not that much. Basically, a film which has 4 or 5 Kutthu songs are become the pick of the day ( This was told by Raihannaji), and thats what sells ( told by Vijay) . There needs to be a market for true Music Lovers, and Rahman shares that feeling, and this label of his will give an opportunity for him as well as other musicians to explore what is not within commercial parameters. Almost from the time, Roja got released, I have been a fan. Actually, I dont know, if I could take you through that journey, I used to tour Chennai , in my vacation during my school days. That time Roja cassette had released, and my uncle had bought me the same. On the return journey to Bombay, I didnt listen to the Roja cassette. My sister was listening to it in her walkman. And then she used to say, Its verynice; very nice . But I nevr heard it. Then , I was surfing Tv Channels. Then I heard, Netru Illadha Maatram . Then I went back to Roja, and thats how the journey began Then in 1994, when I came to Chennai, I saw this movie Duet. The song Anjali Anjali with awesome interludes and awesome song. In fact, right after the movie, I made up my mind, that I want to meet Rahman. I dont know if you would remember or not, when I called up the studio, ( the house ) , you answered the phone, and it was you who guided me to the place. So, Anjali Anjali is a very good song. I also love the song, Lukka Chuppi and want to dedicate to my mother. Rahman 's duet with Lataji. For the past some years , you listen only to Love duets, and this is first of its kind, where a mother and her son talk to each other in this manner, and its really nice. Experiences as a FAN At that time, there were only cassettes, because the Cds were expensive. That too, I was in Bombay. Very rarely, do you get Tamil cassettes there. There used to be a store called, Giri Stores, where we used to get Tamil cassettes. and I was little far off from this place. At those times, we never used to know , when Rahman is releasing a track, as the internet was not that prevalent. I used to call the Giri stores almost daily, to find if any new release of Rahman had got released. For getting a cassette worth Rs 50 /-, a lot of phone calls used to be made, and the shop keeper used to reply, No Sir. nothing has come . But, I used to make it sure, that whenever the cassette got released in Bombay, I used to go 45 minutes by train, and get the cassette. In fact, right from Pudiya Mugam to Sakkarakatti, I still remember, how and when I have gone to buy the cassette. That was fantastic. Towards 2000, when the Internet became popular, we formed a Fan Club on the Internet. It was Gopal ( he is based in Bangalore ), who started this Fan Club . And world over members started joining, and the activities kind of increased. Before, all this, we used to feel that it was we who are big fans , and after coming into the community, we could realise, that there are much more crazy fans than us.

[arr] Vairamuthu Neram - ( Anbe Anbe - Jeans ; En kadhaley - Duet, Uyire - Bombay )
In Vairamuthu Neram, *En kadhaley ( Duet )* When the tune of the song was ready,,, I asked Rahman, Enna pa ( Oh brother ) , How come you composed such a tune. Only people who have been in deep love can compose such tunes. . for which he replied, Yes . I am also in Love. I am in love with my music. . The way, SPB had sung the lyrics, gave me tears, and, I caught his hands , and thanked him so much. The rendition of the song, gives such a wonderful effect, full of remorse and feelings. *Uyire ( Bombay )* This song is the best song , that would have moved me in my life ( for the lyrics which I have written ). The speciaility of this song, is the way, in which it is done. Its like a situation, where the male singer comes and sings and finishes it and goes. And then the female singer comes, and she does her rendition and makes us feel, that she has done much more better than the male singer. Its such a wonderful song, that it refreshes , I listen to it. *Ennavale ( Kaadhalan )* A song, for which lyrics were liked me so much next to the old song ( Pavadai Dhavanayo ...

Re: [arr] Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
WoW... Wow. WoW Absolutely WoW.. On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 8:39 PM, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Rahmaniacs, VIJAY IYER ( our co-owner and moderator of Yahoogroups) was in air today , sharing his experiences with Raihanaji on Aaha FM 91.9. A brief of what he discussed with Raihanaji is as follows :- Hi. This is Vijay. I am from Mumbai, just moved to Chennai. I was a big fan of AR, then became a friend of him, and its my good fortune that I work for him now. I am based in Chennai now. Rahman has announced his new music label, which is called KM Music. Its a music company. I manage the Label. I also do other things like managing the content of his website , lot of creative stuff etc . Km Music has been Rahman 's dream, and he has mentioned this in a lot of his interviews. The Kind of music he likes... Nowadays, if you see, all sort of music is commercialised. and music sales is not that much. Basically, a film which has 4 or 5 Kutthu songs are become the pick of the day ( This was told by Raihannaji), and thats what sells ( told by Vijay) . There needs to be a market for true Music Lovers, and Rahman shares that feeling, and this label of his will give an opportunity for him as well as other musicians to explore what is not within commercial parameters. Almost from the time, Roja got released, I have been a fan. Actually, I dont know, if I could take you through that journey, I used to tour Chennai , in my vacation during my school days. That time Roja cassette had released, and my uncle had bought me the same. On the return journey to Bombay, I didnt listen to the Roja cassette. My sister was listening to it in her walkman. And then she used to say, Its verynice; very nice . But I nevr heard it. Then , I was surfing Tv Channels. Then I heard, Netru Illadha Maatram . Then I went back to Roja, and thats how the journey began Then in 1994, when I came to Chennai, I saw this movie Duet. The song Anjali Anjali with awesome interludes and awesome song. In fact, right after the movie, I made up my mind, that I want to meet Rahman. I dont know if you would remember or not, when I called up the studio, ( the house ) , you answered the phone, and it was you who guided me to the place. So, Anjali Anjali is a very good song. I also love the song, Lukka Chuppi and want to dedicate to my mother. Rahman 's duet with Lataji. For the past some years , you listen only to Love duets, and this is first of its kind, where a mother and her son talk to each other in this manner, and its really nice. *Experiences as a FAN * At that time, there were only cassettes, because the Cds were expensive. That too, I was in Bombay. Very rarely, do you get Tamil cassettes there. There used to be a store called, Giri Stores, where we used to get Tamil cassettes. and I was little far off from this place. At those times, we never used to know , when Rahman is releasing a track, as the internet was not that prevalent. I used to call the Giri stores almost daily, to find if any new release of Rahman had got released. For getting a cassette worth Rs 50 /-, a lot of phone calls used to be made, and the shop keeper used to reply, No Sir. nothing has come . But, I used to make it sure, that whenever the cassette got released in Bombay, I used to go 45 minutes by train, and get the cassette. In fact, right from Pudiya Mugam to Sakkarakatti, I still remember, how and when I have gone to buy the cassette. That was fantastic. Towards 2000, when the Internet became popular, we formed a Fan Club on the Internet. It was Gopal ( he is based in Bangalore ), who started this Fan Club . And world over members started joining, and the activities kind of increased. Before, all this, we used to feel that it was we who are big fans , and after coming into the community, we could realise, that there are much more crazy fans than us. Every Interview of Rahman, Photos of rahman ( My cupboard.. I used to paste photos ) , Cassettes, Cassette covers, Rare songs, Ad Jingles, were there with everyone. This community was a good forum, for rare information exchange. Vijay sings a song, Tere Bina . ( Very nice singing from Vijay... :-)) *Transformation into a Friend of Rahman * Its an interesting story. In 1994, when I came to Chennai, through you, I met Rahman. After that, I wasnt been able to be in touch with him, as I was in Bombay, and he was in Chennai. There were no cell phones or emails at that time. After my studies, I took up a job. I was lucky enough, as in one of my jobs, I used to frequently travel abroad. That was the time, in 2000-01, when Rahman was doing Bombay Dreams in London. so, one day, when I was travelling to London. I saw Sir in Bombay Airport. I ran towards him, and asked him, if he remembered me, when I had met him up in 94, and he told, NO.. So, i thought that this was the opportunity, as no one

Entire music of Tehzeeb was experimental. pop ghazals, difficult arabic urdu, and what was remaining was filled by this english incomprehensible song. If you listen to entire Tehzeeb album, you might realize that somebody sort of roughshod ARR into doing all this. :0-) Rozana from Lakeer is also a bad compostion but may be not the worst. I never liked it. I also didn't like it much. In fact I had written that right then in this forum when Lakeer was released. But I think I had also written that ARR was trying to experiment by giving a cheerleader song. And I guess cheerleading songs are that type only. Forget the current days of 20-20 when they are hiring the costliest MDs of the world to compose. Pretty Zinta even approached ARR to compose the song for her team but ARR refused as there was not much time. So, chearleading songs originated from schools, colleges where students were bringing out their creativity but they lacked on resources, and had less time also, and some inexperience, so the outcome did never matched up with a bollywood film song. So, i think ARR might have tried to retain that simplicity in the song, just composing a song that young, have-nots college boys and girls would manage to compose. And he did it well, and didn't give the polish to the song, so it looks very banal, bare. But I think if you take into consideration the above scenario, you might find that it is a different type of song. I hope you guys will not mind discussing boss's weakest compositions. -- V
Re: [arr] ARR's worst composition?
Senyore belongs to the (Sri Lankan) Baila genre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baila) and fitted in so perfectly in the movie. It is most certainly one very cheerful track and was made with some interesting Baila beats in true Rahman style. The sinhala lyrics in the song adds to the sense of humour of the song and I guess if you don't understand Sinhala then it prob won't be as fun as it truly is. --- On Wed, 7/23/08, van helsing [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: van helsing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [arr] ARR's worst composition?

Almost from the time, Roja got released, I have been a fan. Actually, I dont know, if I could take you through that journey, I used to tour Chennai , in my vacation during my school days. That time Roja cassette had released, and my uncle had bought me the same. On the return journey to Bombay, I didnt listen to the Roja cassette. My sister was listening to it in her walkman. And then she used to say, Its verynice; very nice . But I nevr heard it. Then , I was surfing Tv Channels. Then I heard, Netru Illadha Maatram . Then I went back to Roja, and thats how the journey began Then in 1994, when I came to Chennai, I saw this movie Duet. The song Anjali Anjali with awesome interludes and awesome song. In fact, right after the movie, I made up my mind, that I want to meet Rahman. I dont know if you would remember or not, when I called up the studio, ( the house ) , you answered the phone, and it was you who guided me to the place. So, Anjali Anjali is a very good song. I also love the song, Lukka Chuppi and want to dedicate to my mother. Rahman 's duet with Lataji. For the past some years , you listen only to Love duets, and this is first of its kind, where a mother and her son talk to each other in this manner, and its really nice. Experiences as a FAN At that time, there were only cassettes, because the Cds were expensive. That too, I was in Bombay. Very rarely, do you get Tamil cassettes there. There used to be a store called, Giri Stores, where we used to get Tamil cassettes. and I was little far off from this place. At those times, we never used to know , when Rahman is releasing a track, as the internet was not that prevalent. I used to call the Giri stores almost daily, to find if any new release of Rahman had got released. For getting a cassette worth Rs 50 /-, a lot of phone calls used to be made, and the shop keeper used to reply, No Sir. nothing has come . But, I used to make it sure, that whenever the cassette got released in Bombay, I used to go 45 minutes by train, and get the cassette. In fact, right from Pudiya Mugam to Sakkarakatti, I still remember, how and when I have gone to buy the cassette. That was fantastic.. Towards 2000, when the Internet became popular, we formed a Fan Club on the Internet. It was Gopal ( he is based in Bangalore ), who started this Fan Club . And world over members started joining, and the activities kind of increased. Before, all this, we used to feel that it was we who are big fans , and after coming into the community, we could realise, that there are much more crazy fans than us. Every Interview of Rahman, Photos of rahman ( My cupboard.. I used to paste photos ) , Cassettes, Cassette covers, Rare songs, Ad Jingles, were there with everyone. This community was a good forum, for rare information exchange.

I follow him in every aspect of my life. One day, my friends asked me if I could be like him and I thought why not. I intend to shoot an Elvisinspired music video soon. So after groaning and grumbling about the music reality shows, what's he doing judging one? Ask that and he seems to be ready with a rehearsed answer: I'm against reality shows in general because they're high on drama.. and some channels haven't done them in the right spirit. I decided to judge Star Voice of India 2 because I watched some episodes last season and I think I can add some value. Agenda ho Singh's agenda?

I am confused because my 16 years of ARR experience is has deserted me. The problem is: I am not able to find Rahman's SIGNATURE in Pappu Can't Dance of JTJYN and Hawa, sun Hawa of Ada. Pappu got hit like anything and it feels great that our man did a Muqqala or a hello doctor again. Hawa, sun hawa is so calm and cool, so soothing, subtle like Water songs, it is a pleasure to listen to it. In rest of the songs of these two albums, I could find the telltale ARR effect, but not in these two songs. I feel that these songs could have been as well composed by anyone else. No, not copy, no inspiration, no nothing. Just a genre, a level, just that others have given songs of that type in the past. If I am still not clear, you listen to first 1 second of Tu Hi Rey, and you can tell it it ARR's. No, not memory, but the effect, the sound, the level. Nobody but ARR could have created it. Nobody could in last 10 years, even with inspiration from ARR. I have listened these two songs many times, still, I could not identify that ARR effect in these two. Could anyone help me here. Which part of Pappu and Hawa hold the telltale Signature that ARR is known for and that no one else could create so far? -- V

Re: [arr] Where is Rahman's SIGNATURE in Pappu and Hawa songs?
answer to ur question in the subject - throughout the song On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 12:40 PM, V S Rawat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Gomzy, Mahima and Vinayakam, let me give one parallel. You must have noticed that the starting part of Hawa sun hawa has similar arrangement as in - Sunta hai Mera Khuda (Pukar) - Maan tujhe Salam (Vandemataram) That is drum beats on a soft, fluid, vibrating, background, wavy, sound sort of. Now, listen to Sunta hai Mera Khuda or Maan tujhe Salam, and you can make out in flat 2 seconds (or less) that it is ARR's. Nobody else could do it till now. But, that same characteristic signature sort of feeling is not so noticeable in Hawa sun hawa, i think. One has to strive to find that it is ARR's. Such a lovely song hawa sun hawa is. Still, I feel some songs by other MDs had been there not so far below. Of course, no match as such but somewhat that type. btw, it could be the common singers using similar span of their voices. That is why I thought that lack of a clearcut ARR signature is causing his songs to loose their high, unique level and sounding similar to other MD's work. -- V On 7/22/2008 11:21 PM India Time, _Gomzy_ wrote: I can understand for Pappu, but Hawa sun hawa Rawat! 1) The way the flute has been used throughout. 2) The piano bits here and there. 3) ARR was given Koun hai yada jo har pal aye, yada woh aye tho ake na jaye But he smartly and heavenly uses the same line to be repeated by Alka after Sonu finishes the same line. 4) The second para he starts with a new tune meri sadayein , tujho ko bulaye ever seen any MD have diff tunes from 2 diff paras ? very rare! 5) the aja re aja re part, so lovely 6) Usage of the tabla mixed with sizzles. 7) And last but not least, the usage of the flute again, during the end of the song!

The problem is: I am not able to find Rahman's SIGNATURE in Pappu Can't Dance of JTJYN and Hawa, sun Hawa of Ada. Pappu got hit like anything and it feels great that our man did a Muqqala or a hello doctor again. Hawa, sun hawa is so calm and cool, so soothing, subtle like Water songs, it is a pleasure to listen to it. In rest of the songs of these two albums, I could find the telltale ARR effect, but not in these two songs. I feel that these songs could have been as well composed by anyone else. No, not copy, no inspiration, no nothing. Just a genre, a level, just that others have given songs of that type in the past. If I am still not clear, you listen to first 1 second of Tu Hi Rey, and you can tell it it ARR's. No, not memory, but the effect, the sound, the level. Nobody but ARR could have created it. Nobody could in last 10 years, even with inspiration from ARR. I have listened these two songs many times, still, I could not identify that ARR effect in these two. Could anyone help me here. Which part of Pappu and Hawa hold the telltale Signature that ARR is known for and that no one else could create so far? -- V
