His music is intellectually stimulating, diverse, and crafty, but so far, from what I've heard in Aamir and Dev D, his music does not reach me emotionally much, does not touch me deep inside, does not impress me with overall sound, and lacks the type of ambiance and soul that I most prefer and appreciate in music in general. Just my opinion. I share that opinion. Seems that is why I have not included him yet in the list of my favs. Comedy songs also become hit, technically amazing songs also become hit, but what makes a composer beloved of the listeners is thru songs that touch the heart of the listeners. Bringing this thread back to ARR, there was a time when people had started saying ALL ARR SONGS SOUNDS ALIKE. Of course, those listeners had not given enough time for these songs to grow on them to understand the difference, but, let's remember that listener is the king and the end judge. So, when the Latka Jhatka, maya machindra telephone pole Hindi lyrics of Hindustani combined with a music that has technical wizardry more than it had melody, listeners didn't feel like exploring it at all and rejected that. Since those days, ARR has improvised in many ways so that no one now says any bad thing about ARR's music. I think Amit trivedi also has to improvised in similar way. Dev D's music was more a comedy. It is not a drawback of Amit, it is just that the movie needed such type of music and he has given that. He may be having capability to give melodious heart touching songs, but, that is yet to be shown. Gulal is an example where compositions were melodious heart touching, kudos to Piyush. Amit Trivedi has to do films having this genre of music to get taken seriously. currently he is and MD for the hip-hop-pop generation. He should be given credit for what he's done so far, but should not be compared to ARR as ARR is on a different plane altogether in my view. -- Rawat --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Rahmaniac.com™ farsad...@... wrote: Hope Amit Trivedi can maintain the consistency.

Why is being an amateur something negative, something degrading??? Amateur is antonym of professional. Amateur is fresh. Amateur is innocent.

A person with 18 year of proven history from one top position to another top position is a great, commendable, role-model professional. Every professional should follow him. So, if anybody is calling such a professional having created something amateur, and when you have heard VTV and know that it is not amateurish in the negative connotation of the word, then there ought to be some other meaning of the term that you have missed.

To tell the truth, when I first heard the songs, I did like the album for the overall presentation. However, as the songs kept playing in my cd player, I noticed that there was something extra special about this album. The more I listened to it, the more I'm engrossed with it. And the more I'm engrossed with it, the more I'm unwilling to part from it. In fact, I happen to come across a mail written by our fellow friend who claimed that he now takes a longer route back home in order to have some time alone with the soundtracks. The moment I read it, I just couldn't help but smile...because that's exactly how I felt when listening to the album myself...to spend some time alone with the album and to uncover the truth of what's making it so spellbinding! The followings are merely my thoughts on my new-found friendship with VTV. I'm not a professional commentator nor do I have a profound knowledge as far as music is concerned, thus kindly pardon me if there's any inaccuracy or mistake in the expressions and words used below. 1. Omana Penne Omana Penne starts on a blissful tune coupled with the soothing voice of Benny Dayal. I've always preferred Benny in soft melodies rather than in fast beats or folk numbers. And as expected, Benny has done a wonderful job here. The first saranam was given an under-water- singing effect which reminds me of Blue, nevertheless the similarities ends there. The Kerala portion on the other hand, has a heavenly rhythm which leaves you asking for more. It's always a privilege to hear ARR's usage of ethnic music, even if it's only for a few seconds and he has done an excellent job here as well. And needless to say, Kalyani Menon was the perfect choice for this. On a further note, the nadaswaram used throughout the song was just mind blowing. Initially I had my doubts if the real nadaswaram was used for this particular number nevertheless clarifications given by fellow friends and a quick check with ARR's official website cleared my doubts. Kudos to ARR and Natarajan for churning out an essentially ethnic and yet modern tune. Omana Penne is definitely here to stay!  2. Anbil Avan The techno sound at the prelude seems to have traces of Santhipoma of Enaku 20 Unaku 18. To tell the truth, I didn't find this song to be particularly astounding at first. However, repeated hearing has made me to change my mind. Trust me, this song is highly addictive. Devan did a great job, needless to say. I couldn't think of any other singer who would have given the song the same level of energy that Devan accomplishes. Nevertheless, I must say that Chinmayi was a revelation. I've always had difficulties identifying Chinmayi's voice as she has the talent of modulating her voice texture and style according to the mood of each and every song of hers. While she was soulful in Oru Deivam (Kannathil Muthammittal) and angelic in En Uyir Thozhiye (Kangalal Kaithu Sei), here she seems to present a western-based singing. In fact, when I heard this song for the first time, I had mistaken Chinmayi's voice to Vasundhara Das'. A check on the credits revealed the truth. She sounds amazing! Coming back to the music arrangements, ARR has again surprised everyone with his choice of genre for a song such as this. The song basically expresses the lovers' dreams of their marriage. While most would have settled for a melody for such a situation, ARR decided to grant a peppy, foot-tapping number. And what an apposite choice that was. He effectively brought out the elation felt by the lovers in a vivacious manner, while the inclusion of the marriage tunes at the interludes provided a

Rahman has been heaped with praise for bringing new verve and fi nesse to music in India. The accolades have come by the dozen but what remains constant about him is his shy and down-to-earth demeanour. But what is striking about Rahman is his sense of dedication and devotion to what he loves the most — music. In an interview with Times of Oman, the extremely modest man says, “Music means everything to me. Music is a blessing for me. It is God’s gift and it just flows out of me.” The man who has showed the world new ways of making a song says he has no favourites. “I am an open person. Like how they say: We all came from one source, my philosophy is the same for music. Besides, good music can be appreciated by everyone,” he says. Rahman, who has effortlessly linked the global East West musical divide, says a right frame mind can create musical masterpieces. “It is like an incubation process. You just need the right temperature in your brain. If you are too excited or too calm, nothing can happen. You need the right frame of mind to create good music,” says Rahman. On whether time management is a problem, he says, “Music integrity is always about the personality. You don’t give work that is half-finished. You first of all plan your timing in such a way that you have enough time to do your best.” He explains that if he does 20 movies a year he might have that kind of a problem. “I accept very few movies at a time so I am able to concentrate,” says the man whose soundtrack of Bombay was listed in the ‘1,000 albums to listen before you die’ by The Guardian. The composer who takes six months to one year to create a composition says, “Directors give me enough time to do my job. Like others, I do have my bad days but I try the next day. The next day is not the same.” Despite Slumdog Millionaire’s huge success he is relieved there is no bid to typecast him. “Movie music is all about script. It is important to absorb the situation and emotions in a film before composing. So it is not about copying my own stuff. It is about paying attention to what people have not experienced before,” he says. Rahman makes sure he chooses projects that complement his music. “I have worked with the best in India. Right now I am working with Mani Ratnam and Shankar. Internationally, if there is an interest in my music and they want me to compose for them I would be interested in it,” he says when asked if there is any director he would like to work with. The music maestro has a special regard for Iranian films and says if somebody offers him a project he would do it. “It has nothing to do with the Sufi influence. I am basically a huge fan of cinema of that variety,” he says. Yes, if there is something he does apart from music, it is watching films. “I am a member of the Academy. So I get a lot of movies free now,” he smiles. Though he now partially lives in Los Angeles, he doesn’t find it inconvenient. “It doesn’t get tough. That is life. You can’t get everything in life,” he says. Since Rahman’s work gained global prominence with Slumdog Millionaire he has been offered international projects. He doesn’t see this as going away from India but spreading out. “For me it is more about expansion. Music has no boundary,” he says. Perhaps he understands the global pulse and his songs appeals to every part of the world and that is why his music really has no boundaries. The star, who has undertaken several sellout concert tours in over 30 international destinations, is open to collaborations of different kinds. “That is the way I am made. My journey through music is not about film music alone. I have played bands, sang and composed. I have been involved in things apart from film music. That is how you evolve as a musician,” he says. Rahman’s noteworthy contribution to music world is he has opened doors to new voices. Is that a conscious act? “My only criterion is talent. There are no strings attached. I don’t care whether one is popular or unpopular, poor or rich, good looking or bad. For me it is just about talent. If their voices compliment my songs, I take them on,” he says. Rahman is clear he doesn’t believe in favouritism. “If you attach yourself with a singer it conflicts with the interest of the movie. Yes, sometimes you get inspired by certain singers but it won’t be permanent,” he explains. Is there anything that inspires him, say, like the sea? “Sea? Not since

[arr] 'Rahman will collect Oscars like Filmfare trophies' - Resul Pookutty
'Rahman will collect Oscars like Filmfare trophies' - Resul Pookutty By: Chirag Sutar21 Jan 10 11:59 IST [image: image]http://www.radioandmusic.com/sites/radioandmusic.com/files/images/927ab3fc108702c05ce85c84c1426cab.jpg 'Rahman will collect Oscars like Filmfare trophies' - Resul Pookutty MUMBAI: When it comes to music, 2010 has started on a good note for sure. A R Rahman's track from Couples' Retreat 'Na Na..' has already been nominated for this year's Academy Awards. For those who may have forgotten, Slumdog Millionaire's now famous track 'Jai Ho' is also nominated at this year's Grammy Awards. Rahman's friend and Oscar winner Resul Pookutty is escatic about Rahman's nominations, but more than anything else, the Kerala born sound techinician is confident that this year too, Rahman will reign. One of the reasons why 'Jai Ho' will score over others is because there hasn't been any other track like 'Jai Ho' on an international level, says Pookutty. This is one of the first original motion picture songs that is being celebrated on such a large scale internationally - no other motion picture soundtrack has done that in the past.. that gives me the confidence that Rahman will bag the Grammys in this category for sure - there's no doubt he'll pick up the Grammy. Moving to Rahman's Oscar nomination for Couples' Retreat, Pookutty says the west is already grooving to the Tamil songs on Couples' Retreat. His music is transcending all the language and cultural barriers particularly because Rahman has introduced 'language' as 'sound', he reasons. In the past couple of years, Rahman has been the only musician giving music that has resonated with the masses at some level and Pookutty too resonates with the same sentiment. When I hear Rahman's music, I feel I have heard his music somewhere - it has a quality of triggering a nostalgia at one level, he adds, saying that even when he works on a masala movie with a big star, Rahman brings in an element of sufism and spirituality. Pookutty says that the West is in a way discovering Rahman's music, but one of the reasons why I really feel proud of being associated with Rahman is beacause he has taught us Indians how to love and respect other traditions - he goes beyond in bringing together sounds from various cultures, and I am sure he is going to bring home the Oscars like he collects Filmfares - he's going to make the entire country proud, he adds. http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/rahman-will-collect-oscars-filmfare-trophies-resul-pookutty -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~

[arr] Rahman replicated rhythmic accompaniment beats
*Rahman replicated rhythmic accompaniment beats* - *Richard Mahesh, Sampurn Media* Any guesses about what’s common between A R Rahman’s ‘Chiggy Wiggy’ (*Blue*) and his nephew G.V. Prakash’s ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’ (*Aayirathil Oruvan*)? These two songs have been rocking at top of charts for past six months and still remain favorite numbers on everyone’s list. Now, it’s revealed that A R Rahman has replicated the rhythmic accompaniment beats from a famous album R. Kelly’s *Thoia Thoing*. When you play these numbers together, nothing makes a big difference over the rhythmic spell. Similarly, G.V. Prakash has picked the instrumental part on flute for his ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’. As in relativity, Yuvan Shankar Raja had scored a prototyped music for ‘Adada’ *(Sarvam)*. ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’ has been making high waves in town for the catchy tunes and lyrics. More than all, actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya Rajnikanth crooning the song has made it yet more attractive. http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicreporter/news.php?newscatid=1newsid=1922 Check R.

Re: [arr] Re: (non arr) Some song recommendations
Hey Guys! How are u guys?...well i haven't really been following this thread a lot lately..but this thread caught my attention. Well..I'd like to agree with V.S.Rawat about Dev D. I didn't really like the album as a whole too. Anyway I have a few song recommendations. The thing is ..once i like a particular MD/ song i tend to stick with that only. In the Hindi Film Industry, apart from ARR, the only MD i really really like is the trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Their music is classy, soulful, trendy, zesty and above all innovative and stylish to say the least.There is something abt S-E-L which makes their music unique. 1) Noor-E-Khuda (My Name is khan)...the best song of the year so far IMO 2) Sajda (MNK) 3) Uff teri ada (Karthik calling karthik). ( very very average lyrics tho lol). 4) Mitwa (KANK). Songs by PRITAM who has developed into an interesting MD. 1) Tum Mile (Javed ali version). 2) Tu jaane na (unplugged version)..ajab prem... 3) Aaj din Chhadeya ( Love aaj kal) Also song from Veer...Salaam Aaya ..nice romantic song.

His music is intellectually stimulating, diverse, and crafty, but so far, from what I've heard in Aamir and Dev D, his music does not reach me emotionally much, does not touch me deep inside, does not impress me with overall sound, and lacks the type of ambiance and soul that I most prefer and appreciate in music in general. Just my opinion. I share that opinion. Seems that is why I have not included him yet in the list of my favs. Comedy songs also become hit, technically amazing songs also become hit, but what makes a composer beloved of the listeners is thru songs that touch the heart of the listeners. Bringing this thread back to ARR, there was a time when people had started saying ALL ARR SONGS SOUNDS ALIKE. Of course, those listeners had not given enough time for these songs to grow on them to understand the difference, but, let's remember that listener is the king and the end judge. So, when the Latka Jhatka, maya machindra telephone pole Hindi lyrics of Hindustani combined with a music that has technical wizardry more than it had melody, listeners didn't feel like exploring it at all and rejected that. Since those days, ARR has improvised in many ways so that no one now says any bad thing about ARR's music. I think Amit trivedi also has to improvised in similar way. Dev D's music was more a comedy. It is not a drawback of Amit, it is just that the movie needed such type of music and he has given that. He may be having capability to give melodious heart touching songs, but, that is yet to be shown. Gulal is an example where compositions were melodious heart touching, kudos to Piyush. Amit Trivedi has to do films having this genre of music to get taken seriously. currently he is and MD for the hip-hop-pop generation. He should be given credit for what he's done so far, but should not be compared to ARR as ARR is on a different plane altogether in my view. -- Rawat --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com, Rahmaniac.com™ farsad...@... wrote: Hope Amit Trivedi can maintain the consistency.

Re: [arr] Rahman replicated rhythmic accompaniment beats
Chiggy Wiggy uses the same beat which is a slightly modified reggaeton beat which was in Thoia Thoing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3u_icFhhGY). As to G.V. Prakash's Un Mela Aasathan sounding similar to the song from has has a whole big story behind it whichI think is irrelevant to our.

Prakash’s ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’ (Aayirathil Oruvan)? These two songs have been rocking at top of charts for past six months and still remain favorite numbers on everyone’s list. Now, it’s revealed that A R Rahman has replicated the rhythmic accompaniment beats from a famous album R. Kelly’s Thoia Thoing. When you play these numbers together, nothing makes a big difference over the rhythmic spell. Similarly, G.V. Prakash has picked the instrumental part on flute for his ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’. As in relativity, Yuvan Shankar Raja had scored a prototyped music for ‘Adada’ (Sarvam). ‘Un Mela Aasadhan’ has been making high waves in town for the catchy tunes and lyrics. More than all, actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya Rajnikanth crooning the song has made it yet more attractive. http://www.planetra diocity.com/ musicreporter/ news.php? newscatid= 1newsid=1922 Check R.

Re: [arr] 'Rahman will collect Oscars like Filmfare trophies' - Resul Pookutty
It hasnt been nominated yet. It is only short-listed. Wonder when these journalists get it right.

A R Rahman's track from Couples' Retreat 'Na Na..' has already been nominated for this year's Academy Awards. For those who may have forgotten, Slumdog Millionaire's now famous track 'Jai Ho' is also nominated at this year's Grammy Awards. Rahman's friend and Oscar winner Resul Pookutty is escatic about Rahman's nominations, but more than anything else, the Kerala born sound techinician is confident that this year too, Rahman will reign. One of the reasons why 'Jai Ho' will score over others is because there hasn't been any other track like 'Jai Ho' on an international level, says Pookutty. This is one of the first original motion picture songs that is being celebrated on such a large scale internationally - no other motion picture soundtrack has done that in the past.. that gives me the confidence that Rahman will bag the Grammys in this category for sure - there's no doubt he'll pick up the Grammy. Moving to Rahman's Oscar nomination for Couples' Retreat, Pookutty says the west is already grooving to the Tamil songs on Couples' Retreat. His music is transcending all the language and cultural barriers particularly because Rahman has introduced 'language' as 'sound', he reasons. In the past couple of years, Rahman has been the only musician giving music that has resonated with the masses at some level and Pookutty too resonates with the same sentiment. When I hear Rahman's music, I feel I have heard his music somewhere - it has a quality of triggering a nostalgia at one level, he adds, saying that even when he works on a masala movie with a big star, Rahman brings in an element of sufism and spirituality. Pookutty says that the West is in a way discovering Rahman's music, but one of the reasons why I really feel proud of being associated with Rahman is beacause he has taught us Indians how to love and respect other traditions - he goes beyond in bringing together sounds from various cultures, and I am sure he is going to bring home the Oscars like he collects Filmfares - he's going to make the entire country proud, he adds. http://www.radioandmusic.com/content/editorial/news/rahman-will-collect-oscars-filmfare-trophies-resul-pookutty -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~
