Re: [arr] I'm having higher hopes for Puli and Endhiran
ENDHIRAN music release is still far away. I dont know about PULI... But for VTV, my expectations are as BIG as JEANS! I have a doubt to others.. Earlier, in the 90's, most of our Tamil films were dubbed into Hindi.. Now, NO films[Or rarely, if its a Shankar film] are dubbed into Hindi.. Y is it so??

[arr] Re: I'm having higher hopes for Puli and Endhiran
An absence of AR's music for a long time is like getting more time to listen carefully his magic. (PMA). The more I listen is more I am relished and the more I learn. Likewise I wonder how much have I ignored him in the past failing to realize his potential. I dont have any fear from others as well bcs I dont care the volume of listeners or players. For egs there was the Legend MS Subbalakshmi her Suprabhatam is still the morning alarms for many, but how often do we get to listen to her voice in the streets? But we still miss her.

Re: [arr] I am sure that Gowtham ARR combination will rock - Harris Jayaraj
It was a diplomatic way that he want to work with GM and anyways waiting for the new combination to rock the stands. 2009/8/18 Vithur vith...@gmail.com Aadhavan’s a treat to the ears’SRINIVASA RAMANUJAM, TNN 19 August 2009, 12:00am IST Printhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/msid-4906395,prtpage-1.cms Email Discuss Bookmark/Share Save Commenthttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4906395.cms#write Text Size: | The uproar over his supposed rift with Gautham Menon has just died down, with the director getting Oscar winner Rahman to set the tunes for his Harris Jayaraj next movie. Harris Jayaraj seems a bit tired on that front, but that’s not stopping him from turning to his first love — musichttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4906395.cms#. His songs in Vaaranam Aayiram came in for a lot of praise and going by the hard work he’s put in, that’s the same result that he’s expecting for his tunes in the upcoming Suriya-starrer Aadhavan. And, he’s just waiting for the album to hit the stores. “There’s a surprise for my fans in it,” he starts off, “The album will be a treat to the ears. I’ve used Dr Burn for a rap bit that’ll have the youth on their feet.” But, that’s not all — in the craze for composing peppy tunes, the affable musician hasn’t forgotten the old-world charm associated with yesteryear singers. “I’ve also gotten Mano to sing a songhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4906395.cms#for me... now, how’s that,” he asks, with a twinkle in his eyes. It could well be coincidence, but Harris has been scoring for a lot of Suriya movies. Harris expects the music of Aadhavan to be as popular as his Ayan, if not better. So, what’s the connection between Suriya and soulful music? “There’s some connection there, I think,” he muses, pondering for a minute, “Actually, when it comes to Suriya, he’s able to translate my songs well on-screen. His expressions and moves add value to the songs that I compose.” So, like Suriya, is Harris a romantic at heart too? “No, not at all,” he smiles, “I’m more of a spiritual person these days. My romance is with God.” It’s on that same note that he talks about his once-favourite director Gautham Menon, with whom he worked on Vaaranam Aayiram. “Anyone will want to work with Gautham,” is all he has to say when asked if he’ll work with the Kaakha Kaakha filmmaker again, “He gave me a chance to try out a dappankuthu type of a number in his film (Anjala...) and I’ll never forget that.” Does he feel that he ought to have got Vinnaithaandi Varuvayaa, a project in which Gautham joins hands with A R Rahman? “Not at all,” he states, “I’m sure that this new combination will rock.” Will he want to sign Gautham’s next film at least? “It’s not in my hands,” he says, shrugging his shoulders, “God gives me a decision when it has to be made and that’s how it works. I have no say in my decisions.” Philosophers, take a bow! http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4906395.cms -- regards, Vithur -- Regards, Uday Kiran

Re: [arr] Re: Coffe With Anu - A.R.Rahman [ Download Link ~ Mediafire]
Rahmaniacs, The transcript of the ARR Interview in Koffee with Anu is herewith for the benefit of people, who were not able to view it, and for people, who were not able to understand it fully. Anu :- You have beeen so much of growth. Is it true that you started playing harmonium from the age of four ? ARR :- I was just trying to ( smilingly ) Anu :- Was it your most fascinating instrument, or did you try everything and then come to this ? ARR :- That was the first instrument which I started. My father used to cover it with a cloth, and teach me which note was from where. So, he used to teach me, that the note below 3 Black ones was F, 2 Was C, I used to remember it like a riddle. So, I would be asked to find which note was from where by my father. I was not perfect, but can find out which note was where because of playing it. Anu :- You went on to play in Raja Sir's Music right ? ARR :- I was playing for Malayalam composer Arjuna Master, Telugu composer Ramesh Naidu. That time, I got an Invitation from Raja Sir. Raja sir was playing for my father before. In that rememberance, Raja Sir called me thinking that we can call Shekhar 's son. That time, was the first recording for Moondram Pirai. That time, he told me that I was very young, and told me to come later. Then he called me after two years. That time, I worked with him for 1.5 years. Anu :- When I was talking with Mani Sir, he told me that one remarkable thing abt Rahman was that he was playing like a small boy with Raja Sir, and then he decided that he would go on his own as a young man.

I started feeling, if there was no life other than that. Then , I started thinking of making commercials, where we can do music of our own.

Film Music is also like that. The Notes that are given has to be played . So, we never know if we have the real skills of composing or not, when doing Film Music, and also an urge to see, if there was something else that would be interesting to do in the work.

I have even broken my hand in that. But there has been no fights with kites. More of Music, and less of all these. I dont miss those times, I like whatever happened.

After that she got married. And the remaining two sisters used to look after me, when I used to come back from the studios. They used to take care of me like giving me coffee etc. They also became different , when they became 16, which I am going to go through ( my daugther is now 12 years ) . They think differently.

Anu :- You have beeen so much of growth. Is it true that you started playing harmonium from the age of four ? ARR :- I was just trying to ( smilingly ) Anu :- Was it your most fascinating instrument, or did you try everything and then come to this ? ARR :- That was the first instrument which I started. My father used to cover it with a cloth, and teach me which note was from where. So, he used to teach me, that the note below 3 Black ones was F, 2 Was C, I used to remember it like a riddle. So, I would be asked to find which note was from where by my father. I was not perfect, but can find out which note was where because of playing it. Anu :- You went on to play in Raja Sir's Music right ? ARR :- I was playing for Malayalam composer Arjuna Master, Telugu composer Ramesh Naidu. That time, I got an Invitation from Raja Sir. Raja sir was playing for my father before. In that rememberance, Raja Sir called me thinking that we can call Shekhar 's son. That time, was the first recording for Moondram Pirai. That time, he told me that I was very young, and told me to come later. Then he called me after two years. That time, I worked with him for 1.5 years. Anu :- When I was talking with Mani Sir, he told me that one remarkable thing abt Rahman was that he was playing like a small boy with Raja Sir, and then he decided that he would go on his own as a young man.

Author talks about Ekam Satyam experience as well. Don't miss AR's trademark smile at the top of the page!!! RIP Michael Jackson, legends never dieJump to Commentshttp://omkari.wordpress.com/2009/06/27/rip-michael-jackson-legends-never-die/#comments [image: MJ-by-Aworan] The above picture is from the first and only time I saw Michael Jackson live – in 2006, at the World Music Awards, which happened in London. He did a tiny set right at the end, way past the last train, if I remember rightly – I was with one of my ‘Asian Woman’ colleagues and Aworan was out there photographing – they wouldn’t allow many photographers to go near the pit for MJ. He went off key and had a children’s choir on stage. He sang a little ‘We are the world’ – a song I remember from my childhood, and was off the stage before we knew it. Beyonce proudly gave him an award and he spoke briefly. Chris Brown did a semi-decent tribute by performing Thriller. All in all, I knew that I missed him at his peak and didn’t buy tickets to see his final tour. Alas, that tour was not meant to be. Carpe diem – a motto I follow to the best of my abilities day by day. Like all good things, in life, 2 things are certain, change and death. Just as I got home from a beautiful evening out in London, the sad passing of Farrah Fawcett to cancer was all over Twitter. Within a few minutes, TMZ, the LA based gossip website had announced the death of Michael Jackson! I refused to believe it till AP/PA/BBC/CNN confirmed and stayed glued to the news while Tweeting and discussing with my 4600 strong community on Facebook. The confirmation of his passing brought a tear to me eye and took me straight back to my childhood in Nigeria! We didn’t have access to many TV channels and my first real MJ memory was of the Thriller video. It was scary yet watchable, in the eyes of a child. The dancing intrigued me and I had till then seen people like Sade and Patti Boulaye (who were plugged a lot for their Nigerian descent) and my Dad weaned me on The Beatles. So this was indeed something new to me, moreover, to see a young Black man making such waves. There I was, collecting lyrics (I would ask older kids who had transcribed from listening to his songs on cassette) and trying to understand the meaning behind Billie Jean, in all my innocence. So memories of Wanna be starting something, Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, The girl is mine, Beat it e.t.c would play at all the parties (we had many in our little corner of Nigeria, Borno state, Maiduguri). Upon moving to East London, in England at the age of 12, I was a fully fledged fan of Mr Jackson, Madonna, A ha and many more and was all set to buy my weekly Smash Hits magazine from the corner shop near Plashet secondary school. There I was, with posters of MJ adorning my wall, much to the disgust of my parents who couldn’t fathom my fascination with pop stars and footballers like Ian Rush and John Barnes. So ‘Bad’ came out and it was one of the first albums I bought as a cassette, with a little help from Daddy dearest. We didn’t have a lot of money then, so it was a luxury and certainly a treat. As Dada, as I call him, was a Hi Fi enthusiast, he had brought down his equipment form Nigeria including a good radio tuner. This meant I could ‘record’ music from the radio, especially from the Top 40 on Sundays. So I was happily a fan of pop music in parallel to listening to Carnatic music, taking classes and going to concerts. I was also studying music in school and was part of the choir, so singing Whitney Housten’s Greatest Love of all (written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed, originally recorded by George Benson for the 1977 Muhammad Ali film The Greatest) was part of a daily practice session. I particularly enjoyed a term of music where we developed Michael Jackson’s Beat It, as we had steel pans and a young, fun music teacher. This all culminated in my having an awe for MJ and his musical prowess – Liberian Girl was a particular favourite, with a whole load of celebrities – a fun video with some of top Black names in the business – people I’d loved watching on TV and directed by Spielberg and MJ behind the camera! I never got to see him live, as I wasn’t allowed to go to ‘Western’ pop concerts, only Carnatic ones with family. My other favourite was Black or White – a song whose lyrics of looking past racial boundaries resonated with me during 80s ‘Thatcherite’ England – the South Indian classical dance of Bharathanatyam in one scene made it that much more appealing as it was the first time I saw a mainstream HUGE video with an Asian in it, that too, with MJ doing his own version of those dance moves. The beauty of Iman in Remember the time, again crossed many boundaries, in my book, especially with the very funny Eddie Murphy in it and

Vasudevan [August 18, 2009, 12:46:12 PM] Producer-director Gautham Menon's Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya, starring Simbhu and Trisha in lead roles, is progressing right on schedule. At the same tine, Gautham is finalizing an untitled suspense-thriller with Sameera Reddy and a bunch of new faces. How does he ride both horses together? Gautham said he is managing fine, though he is saddled with the burden and expectation factor. I guess it is all part of the profession; I have nothing to complain of. After all, I am doing what I am enjoying, Gautham said with his trademark honesty. On turning producer, Gautham felt there are a few liberties he can take as director since he is a also the producer. I have my own formula of making films and it is a lot easier to implement these ideas. The other factor is the monetary returns – as director we pump in so much effort and there has to be a justifiable reward, Gautham voiced a pertinent point. A big Hindi project is also planned by Gautham Menon in June 2010. It will be his first direct film though he has experienced Bollywood while remaking the Madhavan-starrer Minnale (Rehna Tere Dil Me). Changing track to A.R. Rahman and planning his next venture in Bollywood, Gautham Menon is aiming higher.
[arr] ‘Endhiran’ and ‘Kutty’ for Diwali?
‘Endhiran’ and ‘Kutty’ for Diwali? IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, August 19, 2009] A birdie says that Dhanush is excited about the release of ‘Endhiran’ and ‘Kutty’ for Diwali. One might wonder what is the reason behind the excitement of Dhanush right? So, here is the point. It’s heard that mappillai Dhanush is eager to participate in Diwali race with his mamanar’s ‘Endhiran’. So he straight away advised the producer of ‘Kutty’ to sell the film to Sun TV. Looks like Sun TV was moreover happy about the film and bought it for a good rate. ‘Ninaithale Inikkum’ of Gemini Films Circuit was bought by Sun TV and will be released soon in the month of September. So, it is supposed that Sun TV has decided to have ‘Kutty’ as Diwali release. At the same time Shankar’s magnum opus ‘Endhiran’ is also anticipated as a Diwali release seeing that just 10% of the shoot is remaining. Even if everyone are happy about ‘Kutty’ and ‘Endhiran’ releasing together for Diwali, director Mithran Jawahar is not convinced about ‘Kutty’ joining the Diwali race. It is heard that the director is asking why should ‘Kutty’ wait till Diwali and is insisting to release it soon after ‘Ninaithale Inikkum’. Hmmm... This proves that if we need one, we will have to sacrifice the other! http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/49157.html

[arr] I make sure my hair and tie are in place
By Subhash K Jha Posted On Thursday, August 20, 2009 at 03:47:33 AM So full are Rahman's hands with current assignments in the West that he has decided not to accept any new films. At the moment, I'm racing against time to complete the Indian projects I've on hand and that includes Mani Ratnam's Raavana, Rajnikanth's animation film Sultan and Tony D'Souza's Blue. The last new assignment I accepted was Abbas Tyrewala's 1:800-LOVE. I've stopped taking on anymore for now. Rahman is going through a schizophrenic phase. He says, In the studio, my outer self has to be completely switched off. But when I'm at international public events, I've to be all there, shaking hands, making friendly talk. I've to ensure that I am saying the right things. I've to prepare myself physically, look into the mirror and make sure my hair and tie are in place. Rahman doesn't mind letting his `outer self' look dapper. But people around him don't seem that comfortable with his upgraded look. Chuckles Rahman, My south Indian friends say, `Oh look at him he's changed!' And that makes me uncomfortable. I realise I have to go out there with a certain amount of dignity and even style. I know I'm representing my country and everyone is watching. It's not easy being India's brand ambassador in the West. And Rahman, shy and reclusive at the best of times, finds it tough to assume his new gregarious, well-groomed persona with international brands vying to dress him up from head to toe. It's all new to me. I've just begun to get a hang of it. But I'm not uncomfortable, he says. At the moment, Rahman is fighting off the temptation of taking on too many international assignments. He explains, I take on what is physically possible. Money is not the main criteria. If I did anything for money, everything will fall flat. I want to do only those assignments to which I can give my fullest. However Rahman admits money is important. He says, Money is not my dream. But it fulfils my dreams. The way I travel and accompanying expenses are costly. It is, for me, my family and my children's future. With success, come the riders. He says, My wife dreamt that one day I'd win an Oscar which I did. But after that I've been constantly traveling. The kids are growing up now and one of us has to look after them. I'm spending as much time with them as I can. Or trying to make them part of what I do so they can be with me. At the moment, Rahman has only one ambition. I want to be happy. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/30/2009082020090820034733343382e2d85/I-make-sure-my-hair-and-tie-are-in-place.html

[arr] How would Guzarish ( gajini) sound of someone else composed: heres an attempt!!
Hi all! First things first : This is just for fun and mean no disrespect. I am huge huge fan myself of AR. I remember few weeks ago me and my friends had a short discussion on how the simplest track from Rahman’s Gajini became the most popular. Guzarish has a simple melody and an equally simple arrangement by Rahman’s standards. Somehow the song sounded fresh.May be it is the voice or just that the track de-cluttered itself from some of the ‘loud’ bhangra tracks belted out by the likes of Pritam. We spoke about how Guzarish was very ‘bollywoodish’ in its essence. We wondered how other contemporary music composers of the 80s or 90s would have done it. Same tune, but a very bollywood style dholak and jhankar beats! So here I present a unique or rather absurd version of Guzarish – The Absurd alternate mix. A parody take on how 80s style music directors would have done Guzarish. This speaks volumes of how a simple tune can have a new leash of life with AR.. Listen here : http://www.wiredbeats.com/2009/08/19/guzarish-the-absurd-alternate-mix-a-take-on-80s-style-of-arrangement/ By the way, don’t judge me by this ‘absurd’ mix. I have changed the groove of the few other tracks in a decent way.This Guzarish mix is just for fun! Sample these two if you will * Tu Muskura – A Light Rock Mix .
