Re: [arr] Jai Ho
What i felt was Latikas theme at end of the movie leaves you on very high node,and then Jai ho immediatetly follows after that. hence audience and me Enjoy both together. Even when i listen SDM i place Jaiho after latikas theme. it makes me more enjoyable. Latikas theme is my one of fav track. One of my friends just listened latikas them whole time in repeat mode when he first heard the track. Regards, Hiten. Jaiho.

Are you still wondering about the instrument that was used? It is in fact the Continuum fingerboard. This is a touch screen keyboard and is being used only by the rarest of rare music composers. AR Rahman has tried the usage of this novel instrument in Delhi 6 and happy with the results he is now using this Continuum fingerboard for Endhiran. But the news here is that it not for a single song but for the whole movie. With this novel concept there is no doubt the songs will top the charts. Looking for local information? Find it on Yahoo!

[arr] Rajeev On Rahamn:The Musical Storm
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/rajeevs-recco-ar-rahman-the-musical-storm/96305-8-17.html
[arr] Book: An Oscar encore
Book: An Oscar encore Kaveree Bamzai June 25, 2009 A.R. RAHMAN: THE MUSICAL STORM by Kamini Mathai Penguin Price: Rs 499, Pages: 280 Writing about Allah Rakha Rahman requires one to be a hound rather than a fox, a sleuth rather than an artist. And yes, it requires the patience of a saint to wait for hours at his Kodambakkam home along with directors, producers, wannabe singers and his large and ever-growing staff. The genius, when he appears, is chatty, cheery and charming enough. But he is not given to revealing too much about himself, whether it is about his faith or the way he works. Rahman with his twin golden men The best way to get to know him is to speak around him, which is exactly what Kamini Mathai has done. So yes A.R. Rahman: The Musical Storm may look like a quickie and even smell like a hard-headed business move rather than a long-nurtured editorial decision but it is still enlightening about one of India’s most private public figures, who began by earning Rs 50 as a record player operator and can now put any figure on desperately proferred bank cheques. Mathai does have a muckracking sort of sensibility but clearly Rahman is the wrong guy for it. The vilest thing that can be said about him that he would sometimes have a beer when he was young while jamming with a series of rock groups or that he still often consults an astrologer. What it is rich in is a lot of trivia for Rahmaniacs. Of how he was about to go to the Berkeley School of Music before Mani Ratnam offered him Roja or how he made Subhash Ghai stay up for 58 nights in a row while working on Taal or how he once dyed his ponytail red or even how the K.M. in his K.M. Music Conservatory stands for a 16th century Sufi saint, Khalishah Mastan, who had the same name as Rahman’s mother’s guru, Kareemullah Shah Qadri. Those not of a gossipy bent of mind and not particularly interested in his clashes with Ilaiyaraaja and his differences with Vairamuthu will not be too disappointed. There’s a lot the book says about his unique working style, from the experimentation he encourages in his singers to the absence of a full blown orchestra. Rahman’s universe is closed, even as it is cordial, so some of what Mathai writes will be news to those who follow his work. For instance, how he recorded Lata Mangeshkar while she was rehearsing Jiya jale or how he ended up composing for Ram Gopal Varma in Rangeela—only by being whisked away to Goa. Of his contribution to Indian music, she has written well: from his crediting even chorus singers on the album to his more relaxed approach towards the Tamil language. There is a lot about his gradual conversion, some of it surprisingly emotional, especially when he talks about his father’s fatal illness: “They used the same Hindu gods my father was worshipping to kill him. The more he worshipped, the more he was harmed.” The book though does tend to be like a cut-rate crème brûlée, crunchy on top and not gooey enough inside. There is a tendency to hang quotes like on an untidy clothesline. Clearly there is another book out there waiting to be written on the man who is now the stuff of legend and surely the contracts are being drawn up even as we speak. Because while there is much about his outer universe in Mathai’s account, there’s not nearly enough about the inner world of A.R. Rahman. A man at ease with his laptop and his prayer mat, a man who always travels light but thinks big. Are you searching for a reason, to be kind?

[arr] Rajeev's Recco: AR Rahman: The Musical Storm
Rajeev's Recco: AR Rahman: The Musical Storm Rajeev Masand / CNN-IBN Published on Sat, Jul 04, 2009 at 00:14, Updated on Sat, Jul 04, 2009 at 15:07 in Entertainment » India Buzz section >From his chhoti si aasha of supporting the family after his father's untimely death, to Jai ho, the chant that marks his career pinnacle, AR Rahman's has been a long and challenging journey, and it's chartered here in a thoroughly researched biography that's a satisfying read for every single one of us who woke up bright and early on that February morning and cheered jubilantly as he picked up two Oscars. Titled AR Rahman: The Musical Storm, Kamini Mathai's book is a simple read, filled with important voices and interesting anecdotes. The author reveals right up in her opening note that she spent many, many nights hanging out at Rahman's studio but got only limited access to the man himself. And yet she crafts a clear picture of him through the interviews she secured with his mother, his musicians, the singers he records with, old friends and family, filmmakers who've worked with him, and his handful of close buddies. Written in a tone that's never gushy or reverential, Mathai points out Rahman's many contradictions, sheds light on his hunger for attention, and never shies away from presenting a critical viewpoint. Old band-mates reveal how their upcoming musician buddy abandoned them the moment he landed his first film assignment, thus killing their work-in-progress rock album. Former neighbors and once family friends complain he cut them out of their lives after he embraced Islam. And purists in the Tamil music industry grumble that he doesn't care much for lyrics and pronunciations as long as the sound is fine. What you get as a result is a sharp portrait of a reclusive artiste about whose early life very little is known. It's not like the author's got her eye only on the dirt. Through her conversations with Rahman himself and several of his musicians and filmmakers, Mathai attempts to understand how he comes up with his music -- his spiritual and creative influences, his tendency for spontaneity, his nature to constantly tinker with unfinished tunes, and his random quirks. Look out for a cheeky joke by lyricist Javed Akhtar which smartly sums up the one complaint everyone seems to have against Rahman -- that he makes them wait too long. At times the book is repetitive, revisiting and encapsulating much of what the author's already said before. Also conspicuous by its absence is a serious analysis of Rahman's music. Although Mathai does take us through his career graph, there is never any deep study of his work. Still it's an engrossing read for music buffs and for anyone really who's enjoyed Rahman's tunes. There's no doubt whatsoever it takes you closer to a man you so much admire.

The 'Divinity Theme' in 'Elizabeth - The Golden Age' is in Lalitha raagam. I think this was the first time ARR used this raagam. Whats even more intriguing is, ARR never used this raagam (as far as i know) for any Indian film song, but used it for an English film background score, with more orchestral and operatic tones.
