I think, the best way is to ignore people's comment and do our things in right
way. Sometimes, some people need attention and thats where they utter these
kind of statements to invoke some debate and turning attention towards them.
We shouldnt even give a damn to these kind of statements. ARR doesnt need to

Naturally, some people are bound to have jealousy over him and cant digest. So
these are like burbs due to indigestion. We just have to move from these

[arr] Re: Rank the ARR-Shankar combo
I beg to differ. The combos cannot be compared at all. AR- Mani has more drive for classics and is different than any other, somewhat close is AR-Ashutosh, AR-Shyam Benegal. And it is in AR's work in mani where i felt the BGMs are superb where mani drives the movie with his scenes and AR drives the scenes through the music. There is an undeniable scope for expressive BGMs in Mani's movies like Alaipayuthey, Roja, Bomaby (undeniable any time), Dilse.. Watching Mani's movie is like being in a class where you are made to feel the genius of every department in film making. Needless to say the legendary Cinematographers got the right praise when worked with him. where as AR-Shankar is known for peppy, fast beat. Similar combo like them are AR-Kathir. His BGMs requires josh factor. I cannot agree songs arent piturised well in Mani's movies either. Though he uses computer to the least but the songs are practical done with perfection. It also has to be agreed that Mani doesn't spend much for a song. Songs form an integral part in Mani's movies. However thoughts can differ among ppl but I dont feel it wise to compare and rate the combos either. A quick bite AR-Mani, AR bagged 2 national awards among the 4 he won. And it was Chaiya Chaiya that became a stepping stone for AR to get recognized in the western shores. My words only meant to say, pls dont compare combos and rate the pair.Bs doning such we may knowingly or unknowingly disrespect the genius who think, work to entertain us. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, vimaljk vima...@... wrote: In my opinion..this is a better combo than ARR-Mani... 1.

Re: [arr] The WEEK - 25 Most Valuable Indians - Prasoon Joshi on Rahman
Thanks Pavan for sharing this. This is wonderful and must be archived. On Sat, Aug 15, 2009 at 11:44 PM, $ Pavan Kumar $ pawancum...@yahoo.comwrote: Ignore the typo errors please.. :) Very good read.. *The Week on Rahman :* We like to believe that Indians have made a fantastic breakthrough in international cinema, thanks to publicity generated by *Slumdog Millionaire,* which is not an Indian film to begin with. But what it has done is gift A.R Rahman's genius to the world. This modest musician has awaited a long time for universal recognition. It is now his - Rahman is in a league of his own with no real competition, either here or overseas. He is a genuine, gilt-edged ' valuable ' - self-made and supreme - *A.R Rahman* *One with Music* *By Prasoon Joshi* * * There are certain things in this world that cannot be defined by logic. One of them is God, another is music. A.R Rahman touches that chord and ventures into the zone of the undefined. As a person, he visits this transcendental world everytime he immerses himself in God or music, very often both. In this transcendental world, where others go to escape, Rahman is so comfortable that he is almost at home there. But the magic of Rahman is more than this comfort level at such an undefined plane. His real magic is his ability to transport his listeners to that realm that defies logic. Rahman does not believe in boxing himself by defining his work as 'commerical' or 'devotional' or 'pure are' or anyother format. He immerses himself completely in his art and commercial success he gets is not the objective of his excercise. It is a byproduct. Rahman is a rare human being who is so attuned to his craft that to separate one from the other would be to distort the whole. That is why, very often, when someone asks him to tinker with a composition, he simply puts aside the original and creates a fresh one. There are many reasons why Rahman is one of the country's most valuable persons, and luck doesn't happen to be one of them. Rahman is defined by his hard work. He has been practising his craft since childhood and he is a master. But he is constantly evolving, which brings about the freshness and uniqueness in his work. There is never any stagnation or repetition. Yet each work is so quintessentially Rahman. Rahman's music is rooted in Indian tradition, but he is very much influenced by world music. That, perhaps, explains his universal appeal among the young and the old. Old-timers connect with the warmth of traditional music in his work, the younger ones with his experimentation. Yet, Rahman tries not to shock his listeners. He makes his music easy to appreciate because there is a touch of the familiar in it, in which the listener finds a comfort zone even as her experiences some new sounds in same composition. A musical journey with Rahman is an adventurous one, but one which ensures a comfort level. He holds your hand and flies with you into an unknown realm. He will never drop you into an ocean midway and expect you to swim your way through. There is another important aspect to Rahman's work. He is one of few musicians with an ear for not just melody, but also sound. His music is richly layered with so many sounds that others may never have thought of as music. He is such a fine sound technician and is so attuned to modern technology that he can tell the sound engineer exactly what he wants. Yet, I would never say that it is the technology wich defines his work or that Rahman is a product of present times. Rahman would be the same even in another age. Electronic gadgets may only have made the work a tad easier for him, but Rahman without his sound system is as creative. He can actually click two stones together and end up with a repertoire of musical sounds! I reiterate, Rahman's appeal is universal. Because, work for him is worship and success merely incidental. Rahman has never been affected by the trappings of stardom. There's never an entourage around him. He is a simple man, of simple habits. Much has been writted about his humility, but it is indeed trie. HE is very down to earth and never takes himself seriously. Many often wonder whether Rahman has reached the pinnacle of success. I don't think so. Pinnacles are those who rise, he is free flowing, always new, always refreshing. If I see him as he is today, post Oscar glory, I only think he is raring to go and come up with more surprises. When asked whether he is overworked, I've heard him say things like, Why should I take a break from what I love? or I don't need to unwind because I never get wound up. There's a child-like enthusiasm in him that is only going to explore, and explore more. If you look at worldly achievements, they may be finite, but his creativitiy is infinite. It is part of his very being. Rahman and his music are one. *Prasoon Joshi

[arr] Rahman’s emotional tribue
*Rahman’s emotional tribute* *After the death of two of his revered icons – H Sridhar and Michael Jackson – within months, AR Rahman is planning a concert in tribute to their memory. * Sridhar was a sound engineer, who died of cancer; and MJ was recently laid to rest. Chennai’s musical maestro has been in and out of the country working on the project that he is keeping under wraps. Due to his prior commitments, the composer will, however, not be a part of the MJ tribute ceremony being planned in Chennai by music director Praveen Mani. At the time of MJ’s death, Rahman had talked about his meeting with the global pop star at the Oscar ceremony in February. “MJ was concerned about contemporary developmental issues such as global warming, wars and their consequences. He asked me to compose a unity anthem on the lines of ‘We are the world’ for him. I nodded in awe.” Recently, there was also news that Rahman has planned a free concert in Australia to address the issue of racial indiscrimination in the country. This has been scheduled for January 10, 2010. Apart from this, his next big international venture has him teaming up with Mick Jagger, Kylie Minogue, Pussycat Dolls and Joss Stone for a new project he wants to produce. http://www.starboxoffice.com/newsDetails.aspx?xfile=2009/August/News_20090813_67 -- regards, Vithur

Through this self titled solo album, Thomas would also be promoting new talent by including four songs of new bands and artistes, the selection for which is underway. “Mostly, we'll be releasing the album under our own label, unless I get a good deal from labels,” he says. The full length album with ten tracks is expected to release by the October 2009. Thomas says, We are looking for investors at this moment, but it's hard. We are aiming for big - production, marketing and promotional costs have also become much higher if one has to come up with a video, he adds. Nevertheless, Thomas has gone ahead and self produced the video for song 'Free Will' and will release a promo video on 15 August. The video was entirely shot at Kodaikanal on a shoestring budget of Rs 60,000 -70,000. Rainbow Bridge is one of the sought after acts from Bangalore with singers like Benny Dayal (Pappu Can't Dance Saala, Yuvvraaj fame) as one of the lead singers. Doesn't his strong profile of playing with Oscar winning composer Rahman incite investors into the project? It's true I have a strong profile, but there are few who know me outside the music circle, he quips. For the uninitiated, Thomas was one among those nominated for British Council Young Music Entrepreneur Award 2009, besides bagging the best guitarist prize at Independence Rock finals last year. http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumtitle=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://digg.com/submit?phase=2url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumtitle=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumtitle=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://reddit.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumtitle=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumt=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=addbkmk=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumtitle=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-albumt=Rahman%27s+guitarist+promotes+talent+through+new+albumhttp://technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.radioandmusic.com%2Fcontent%2Feditorial%2Fnews%2Frahmans-guitarist-promotes-talent-through-new-album MUMBAI: A R Rahman's song Aditi.. may be on a perennial playlist of radio stations and music channels, but Chennai based guitarist Sanjeev Thomas, who has played on this chartbuster number and many others (also on forthcoming 'Blue'), is finding it hard to get investors for the video and an album he plans to release under his brand Rainbow Bridge.

This is one of the finest write-ups I have seen in a long time... Prasoon seem to be a seasoned and professional writer, who has not only a ear for great music but also highly knowledgeable in this domain... --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, $ Pavan Kumar $ pawancum...@... wrote: Ignore the typo errors please.. :) Very good read.. The Week on Rahman : We like to believe that Indians have made a fantastic breakthrough in international cinema, thanks to publicity generated by Slumdog Millionaire, which is not an Indian film to begin with. But what it has done is gift A.R Rahman's genius to the world. This modest musician has awaited a long time for universal recognition. It is now his - Rahman is in a league of his own with no real competition, either here or overseas. He is a genuine, gilt-edged ' valuable ' - self-made and supreme -A.R RahmanOne with MusicBy Prasoon Joshi There are certain things in this world that cannot be defined by logic. One of them is God, another is music. A.R Rahman touches that chord and ventures into the zone of the undefined. As a person, he visits this transcendental world everytime he immerses himself in God or music, very often both. In this transcendental world, where others go to escape, Rahman is so comfortable that he is almost at home there. But the magic of Rahman is more than this comfort level at such an undefined plane. His real magic is his ability to transport his listeners to that realm that defies logic. Rahman does not believe in boxing himself by defining his work as 'commerical' or 'devotional' or 'pure are' or anyother format. He immerses himself completely in his art and commercial success he gets is not the objective of his excercise. It is a byproduct. Rahman is a rare human being who is so attuned to his craft that to separate one from the other would be to distort the whole. That is why, very often, when someone asks him to tinker with a composition, he simply puts aside the original and creates a fresh one. There are many reasons why Rahman is one of the country's most valuable persons, and luck doesn't happen to be one of them. Rahman is defined by his hard work. He has been practising his craft since childhood and he is a master. But he is constantly evolving, which brings about the freshness and uniqueness in his work. There is never any stagnation or repetition. Yet each work is so quintessentially Rahman. Rahman's music is rooted in Indian tradition, but he is very much influenced by world music. That, perhaps, explains his universal appeal among the young and the old. Old-timers connect with the warmth of traditional music in his work, the younger ones with his experimentation. Yet, Rahman tries not to shock his listeners. He makes his music easy to appreciate because there is a touch of the familiar in it, in which the listener finds a comfort zone even as her experiences some new sounds in same composition. A musical journey with Rahman is an adventurous one, but one which ensures a comfort level. He holds your hand and flies with you into an unknown realm. He will never drop you into an ocean midway and expect you to swim your way through. There is another important aspect to Rahman's work. He is one of few musicians with an ear for not just melody, but also sound. His music is richly layered with so many sounds that others may never have thought of as music. He is such a fine sound technician and is so attuned to modern technology that he can tell the sound engineer exactly what he wants. Yet, I would never say that it is the technology wich defines his work or that Rahman is a product of present times. Rahman would be the same even in another age. Electronic gadgets may only have made the work a tad easier for him, but Rahman without his sound system is as creative. He can actually click two stones together and end up with a repertoire of musical sounds! I reiterate, Rahman's appeal is universal. Because, work for him is worship and success merely incidental. Rahman has never been affected by the trappings of stardom. There's never an entourage around him. He is a simple man, of simple habits. Much has been writted about his humility, but it is indeed trie. HE is very down to earth and never takes himself seriously. Many often wonder whether Rahman has reached the pinnacle of success. I don't think so. Pinnacles are those who rise, he is free flowing, always new, always refreshing. If I see him as he is today, post Oscar glory, I only think he is raring to go and come up with more surprises. When asked whether he is overworked, I've heard him say things like, Why should I take a break from what I love? or I don't need to unwind because I never get wound up. There's a child-like enthusiasm in him that is only going to explore, and explore more. If you look at

[arr] What ARR should know about the song Mosquito from Connections.....
I have the recording of Connections and shared the music with friends and family members (I did not copy and give it to themjust had them listen to it at my home). As soon as everyone, and I mean EVERYONE finished hearing the song Mosquito they were so impressed, wanting to hear that piece repeatedly, wanting copies, etc. Everyone asked me where to buy the CD, but I told them that the music never released officially and I got the music online. I wanted to make copies so badly and distribute, but I restrained and did not. They enjoyed the other tracks too, but Mosquito was the one that bowled them over completely. ARR..I hope you are reading.. The music of Connections needs to release on CD and there will be lots of buyers! Why not release it on the KM label?

One may argue that the lyrics are suited for the characters of the

attacking people through song lyrics, is something IR has done in the past
too. That's his style. This is NOT the first time!

picturised on IR himself! It's shot like a music video, having nothing to

with the movie itself! Here's the link for the vid

About IR criticising Ella Pugazhum - I dont need the media to tell me
what it is! It is crystal clear what IR is saying!
Such statements exist in Hinduism, in vedas and puranas too, where
everything is attributed to God...It is a to say I don't take credits for
all my achievements, it's all given to me by God... It is not a matter of
philosophy, or beliefs Someone who claims to be so spiritual, whom
everyone calls a saint should very well know this and understand, whether
he believes in it or not! Even if he doesn't believe in it, do you think he
should have spoken on stage the way he did?
Do you think it is a mature comment, coming from a veteran of the stature
of IR? It is totally unwarranted and uncalled for! This is the point I'm
trying to impress upon.

I cannot believe we are still beating at this.
You should listen to the the song titled Ulagam Ippo written, composed
and sung by IR from the new album Azhagar Malai. IR's jealousy comes out
clearly in that. The song lyrics talks about how people leave the country
for money and that those people, though they may be rich, are mean and poor
in his view point! The lyrics further goes that world may change, people
may
go wherever, but I'll stay here and serve the country.
The song lyrics are by Vaali. It seems appropriate for the movie ('Azhagar
Malai
http://popcorn.oneindia.in/movie-synopsis/2847/azhagar-malai.htmlis
about the egoistic and irate village heads and a youngster trying to
change their attitude').
It takes a creative mind to extrapolate this into inferring that IR is
taking a dig at ARR. Anyone doing so is conveniently
forgettinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_biasthat IR has also
gone abroad and worked/performed (his 1st Symphony
conducted by John Scott (London?), the concert in Italy, the Thiruvasagam
symphony/oratorio in Budapest...)
I can't read Tamil so I have no idea what the Kumudam article that Aravind
attached says. Pay attention to the context and the conclusion drawn. Don't
fall for the trap laid out by junk media.
The second comment about fame and God's gift is a matter of philosophy.
ARR believes in one thing and IR in another. So what? It's just like how no
two astrologers will ever agree on the same thing.
And why should it matter if a music artist is an egoist? Shouldn't you
bother only about the music? ARR is one of a kind-- we like him for his
music and also his humility and the personal example he sets for others. It
is wrong to expect that every artist will be equally humble and kind. I'll
say that it's quite common that a lot of great artists have big egos.
That's
part of what pushes them to excel.

Dear Ramesh,
Being diplomatic, and avoiding arguments is one thing! Not accepting the
truth when it is staring right on your face is another.
One may argue that the lyrics are suited for the characters of the
movie... But, if you've followed Tamil industry closely, you will know that
attacking people through song lyrics, is something IR has done in the past
too. That's his style. This is NOT the first time!
BTW, the song is not picturised on any characters of the movie, it is
picturised on IR himself! It's shot like a music video, having nothing to
do
with the movie itself! Here's the link for the vid
http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=vIztOkvuHTY
About IR criticising Ella Pugazhum - I dont need the media to tell me
what it is! It is crystal clear what IR is saying!
Such statements exist in Hinduism, in vedas and puranas too, where
everything is attributed to God...It is a to say I don't take credits for
all my achievements, it's all given to me by God... It is not a matter of
philosophy, or beliefs Someone who claims to be so spiritual, whom
everyone calls a saint should very well know this and understand, whether
he believes in it or not! Even if he doesn't believe in it, do you think he
should have spoken on stage the way he did?
Do you think it is a mature comment, coming from a veteran of the stature
of IR? It is totally unwarranted and uncalled for! This is the point I'm
trying to impress upon.

I cannot believe we are still beating at this.
You should listen to the the song titled Ulagam Ippo written, composed
and sung by IR from the new album Azhagar Malai. IR's jealousy comes out
clearly in that. The song lyrics talks about how people leave the country
for money and that those people, though they may be rich, are mean and poor
in his view point! The lyrics further goes that world may change, people
may
go wherever, but I'll stay here and serve the country.
The song lyrics are by Vaali. It seems appropriate for the movie ('Azhagar
Malai http://popcorn. oneindia. in/movie- synopsis/ 2847/azhagar-
malai.htmlis about the egoistic and irate village heads and a youngster
trying to
change their attitude').
It takes a creative mind to extrapolate this into inferring that IR is
taking a dig at ARR. Anyone doing so is conveniently
forgettinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_biasthat IR has also
gone abroad and worked/performed (his 1st Symphony
conducted by John Scott (London?), the concert in Italy, the Thiruvasagam
symphony/oratorio in Budapest...)
I can't read Tamil so I have no idea what the Kumudam article that Aravind
attached says. Pay attention to the context and the conclusion drawn. Don't
fall for the trap laid out by junk media.
The second comment about fame and God's gift is a matter of philosophy.
ARR believes in one thing and IR in another. So what? It's just like how no
two astrologers will ever agree on the same thing.
And why should it matter if a music artist is an egoist? Shouldn't you
bother only about the music? ARR is one of a kind-- we like him for his
music and also his humility and the personal example he sets for others. It
is wrong to expect that every artist will be equally humble and kind. I'll
say that it's quite
