Re: [arr] Your ideal interview question

[A.R.Rajib]

It's Obvious that AR don't know the answer of this question .. But If MJ &
RD
 Havent , they certainly missed something BIG .. It's a Kind of album that
would get praises from these two Legends from Music two poles

Well , I was dreaming myself to be the winner of Karan Johar's " Lift Kara
De" as ARR's Numero Uno Fan .. Sitting with ARR & Asking questions , getting
one liners , taking pics with him .And was also thinking what would i
ask him i was to get a chance  When i got a chance of talking with him
first time i was kind of  awestruck that i am actually seeing him so Close
.. For So many hours ...I still can't believe it that i was Only handshaking
distance from him. Well , let's come to the point ...

I would want to ask him ... *If we will get WAV Release of his Background
Music ,if not by Original CDs then can he give them to us by a free download
server or something like that .. As Music is for listening .. not keeping in
Ur HDDs*

Secondly  ... *Will u please Compose an Non-Indian album ? No Classicals or
soft numbers please .. You have already done so much that There is nothing
much to conquer in these genres ...Let's do an Complete RnB or Rock/Metal
Album ... With Sensible english lyrics ..And please No Indian Flavours *

There is hundreds of questions to ask ... Don't have that much time to write
them down .. Right now .. Will do it later on !!

[arr] Confirmation about next film of ARR with Gautham......

[Gobi Kanadasan]

Does this confirms that ARR will be part of this project? Gopal or Vijay may 
clarify this.



Details of Gautham- Ajith film





By Moviebuzz  | Friday, 05 March , 
2010, 11:00
 

 








 

It’s confirmed that Gautham Menon and Ajith are coming together in Dhyanidhi 
Alagiri’s new untitled film.
Gautham in an interview said: “I have to complete the low budget
thriller with Sameera Reddy and newcomer Veera, which will take a
month. Then I will start work on my film with Ajith towards the end of
May”.

Gautham denied his Ajith film has been titled Thuppariyum Anand. Says Gautham: 
“Yes I have written a script called  Thuppariyum Anand,
about a detective in 1920’s Madras and given it to Mr. Kamal Hassan and
Mr. Aamir Khan. I’m hoping that one of them will do the film.”
Added Gautham: “Once and for all I would like to say that the Ajith
film is untitled and it is a mass entertainer. All technicians who
worked with me in VTV will be a part of this new film, while I’m on the
lookout for a heroine.”
Meanwhile Ajith has signed up for one season of F2 racing. The star is
quoted saying: “ Since Gautham wanted some more time to complete the
story and scripting, I decided to indulge in my passion, as I want my
50th film to be a win-win situation for all involved in the film.”

Gobi Kanadasan

the lure of Bollywood became even more important for me." - Michaele Brooke

[arr] The Rahman-Filmfare Affair

[A.R.Rajib]

 The Rahman-Filmfare AffairIndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 03, 2010]

He might have won the most prestigious award for music – the Grammys but do
you know how many Filmfare awards has A R Rahman received so far?

A R Rahman, music’s very own child, has been receiving accolades from all
parts of the world for his work. Perhaps he doesn’t have blood in him but
music. He’s got the Oscars, Grammys and a couple of other Critics awards
from the USA and the world over. One thing people didn’t realize is his
recognition, way back home in India.

Rahman was awarded the Tamil Nadu State Film award for Best Music Director
for his first movie ‘Roja’ and later on he went on to be awarded the same
title 6 times. Apart from the state noticing his talent, he received the
National award for his first movie. He totally has four National awards for
Best Music with him so far.

Ever since he made his debut in ‘Roja’ in 1992, he had won the Filmfare
awards for music 25 times - including Best Music director, New Music Talent
and Best Background Score - Hindi and Tamil put together.

Another more interesting part is, Rahman has won the Best Music Director
Award, for 10 years in a row right from 1992 to 2002. After 2002, He
involved himself with international projects.

Again from 2006, the affair with Filmfare continued. He was awarded Filmfare
Best Music Director for the Hindi blockbuster ‘Rang De Basanti’ and every
year from then till ‘Delhi 6’ in 2009. In 2007, he won the Best Music
Director award in Hindi for mentor Mani Ratnam’s ‘Guru’ and in Tamil for
Rajinikanth starrer ‘Sivaji’. Just gets to show, he has affirmed his
presence throughout the country.

If that’s private sector, let’s move to the Government sector. The
Government of India recently awarded him the ‘Padma Bhushan’, India’s 3rd
highest civilian award.

A R Rahman has a series of movies lined up for this year and the next. And
these are only going to increase the count of those priceless awards. Keep
counting!

Re: [arr] Re: [Non-ARR] For beginning music creators in our group

[wiredbeats]

hey man,

For starters i advice to practice in acid express from sony. You will pick up 
basics of timing, beat mapping etc. You can't do MIDI there, but you get a good 
sense of beats and layering. You can have 25 tracks max in the free version 
which is good enough. You can perhaps paint some loops and practice. If you 
want to do MIDI then try acoustica mixcraft. The free trial is good enough to 
connect your MIDI keyboard and create some decent quality original tracks.

And if you want to pay  like a good boy or download ripped versions then you 
have Nuendo. Steinberg also makes a product called Sequel which i found to be 
super.The you have adobe audition, ableton...the list goes on.I found most of 
them in this catagory good and it is left to you to exploit the features.

And then , userfriendlyness. All of them are user unfriendly initially, but 
once you get a hang of it, its difficult to move out of it. 

The thing is, once you are good with MIDI and loop based stuff. You are pretty 
much done when it comes to production. You can handle mid level production 
projects and will be mentally tuned to check out reason, pro-tools or logic. 
These are expensive ones...so if you are not into professional stuff then you 
can stay away.

now, comes the sound part. When you mix or playback you production you should 
get a flat audio. No sugar added.Ideally you should use monitor speakers, they 
give real flat sound. But sometimes we don't get to use them at homes. So you 
may use a good altec lansin or anyother good comp speakers which does not have 
any speaker controls. As in the knobs in the sub woofer etc. Also go to your 
sound card settings and turn off all EQs. This should be work fine. Ofcourse 
not professional level, but decent.

regards

Wired Beats, what are the DAWs you had found user-friendly for beginners?

I had heard that ARR had used Cool Edit in the production of Veerpandi 
Kottaiyile (Thiruda Thiruda)...could someone confirm? 

I heard this in 2002 from a friend who used to tease me about using Cool Edit 
as he was a Soundforge fan (and an ARR fan too). But when he heard from someone 
that ARR had used Cool Edit for the Thiruda Thiruda  album, he came rushing and 
borrowed a copy of my Cool Edit software :D

wow man this is awesome to see that ARR is getting response just like the lead 
actors. also i can see that the lead actor and Gautam Menon also got similar 
response. by the way visuals look very impressive even in this few minutes 
video. though i don't understand Tamil but will surely watch this movie once 
available for downloading.

I figure there might be some Zimmer fans on this group who might find this of 
interest.
Here are pics of his studio-

[arr] Re: Your ideal interview question

[Rivjot]

Some of the questions 'I' havnt heard in his interviews: 

ARR asked this question to Lata Mangeshkar on her birthday - what keeps you 
going (for so many years); force that drives / inspire you to give your best 
each time, would like to ask ARR same question. 

One could also ask him to share some of his memories while recording, those are 
always interesting to hear. We havnt heard much about his kids either (in 
interviews). 

His religious side has helped him to have this humbleness and being 
down-to-earth, despite of having hectic schedule how does he get time for 
prayers? to practice the religion.

It is so easy to get carried away by fame, yet ARR hasnt changed (as a person), 
how has he managed it? 

Sometimes director / producer dont like specific tune that he composes, and 
rejects that composition.. what he feel at the time. Does that inspire him to 
create a new one or he is somewhat disappointed as he might have spent few days 
on that composition

Quite often he is asked to give tunes fast, does he feel that pressure to 
deliver quickly? Has there been compositions where he felt he could have done 
better if he had more time, or similar case with singers, has he ever felt that 
I should have chosen this xyz singer for this song. 

.. and given a chance to interact with him, I would definitely request him to 
do something about his previous movie's background scores, may be putting them 
up on his official site's webstore would be appropriate. Dunno

guitarist Michaele Brooke meets ARR. Whats cooking?

"The prospect of composing for an Indian film was very enticing, especially 
after I met A R Rahman. I was also in Rahman's studio in Chennai and after 
speaking to him,
the lure of Bollywood became even more important for me." - Michaele Brooke

Re: [arr] Your ideal interview question

[Gobi Kanadasan]

1. If you happened to produce a movie, what kind of genre would it be to suit 
your music to the best?

2. Is there any song composed when you are feeling sad or very emotional and so 
happened that the director requested the same kind of song from you at that 
moment?

3.What are the movies, first offered to you but due to unavoidable 
circumstances, it went to someone else regardless of the final outcome?

4. Do you have enough sleep nowadays especially when there is a demand to 
deliver the final product on scheduled time?

Re: [arr] ARR & Sachin!!

[ravi]

Well I am still trying to find out one reason why are you so intolerrant 
towards this. The one I could guess is you don't like sachin. 
The post had only positive waves which we ARR fans like and nobody here pulled 
even one negative comment on either AR or sachin. And moreover the fans here 
liked it. This being an open forum I don't think it's objectionable to post 
such messages unless it has abused somebody or has posts which aren't true. 
Posts of these kinds are always welcome and it's left for ones thought either 
to accept or reject. If you don't like just ignore  and move on to next essage 
than stressing not to post what you don't like.

[arr] Prince of Persia and Sultan the Warrior

[Sam]

Is it me or any one else find a faint similarity between the main theme chorus 
/ music

Sultan (approx: 0:15 - the main chorus)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoAAaX-lHj4

PoP (approx: 1:30 onwards)

I am aware that Sultan trailer was released two years ago.. So I am not here

[arr] Re: Your ideal interview question

[kitcha_swamy]

This will be my question and i'm hoping this will be the answer from the legend 
:)

Me : Sir, we know your a LEGEND in the Music world. But tell me why do you 
think the world is so seperated? What is the need for all this terrorism and 
scanvenging acts? .

ARR : If you see my getting philosphical during the OScars, I had mentioned 
that I chose Love over Hate and I was able to get rid of bad things happening 
around me, holding that kind of a lens on life. Life or Death is the only thing 
that mankind cannot control. If that being the case, the mere existence is 
happening through a Divine source. Now, the question again is which divine is 
ruling us? For me, religion is like Mother to us. We believe in her and that 
kind of bond is the best in this world. Similarly, a religion can be treated 
the same way. It has trained me, brought me life and everything that I have 
attained is through that faith. So my argument/ideology is to respect mankind. 
If we can respect mankind, the inner meaning is we respect their 
religion/ideologies too. Its like equally respecting someone else's Mother. Be 
yourself and Let other be themselves too. Life can be a lot better after that 
and it can unite the Whole world. Remember, "We are the World".

Swamy aka Kitcha

geniuses more or less have some vice (arrogance,etc ). Their brilliance in
one area gives the leeway in the other , probably ;) That is thought to
enhance their music rather than take away from it. There are stories of
great Carnatic musicians who are very arrogant and short tempered.

The fact that Rahman is a genius without these vices, definitely adds to the
aura around him.

Warm Regards

I never stressed that this is convent. My point is whats the use in trying to 
point out similarities about ARR & Sachin in this forum. They are both legends 
in their own way but doesnt warrant a lot of discussion about them in this 
group. If you want to discuss their similarities, you are free to start another 
group called ARR & Sachin as this group is purely for ARR and his music. Not 
for anything else.

Huh? I don't think anyone here tried to compare Rahman and Sachin. It's quite 
the opposite. What they are pointing out is 'similarities' . They are legends 
in their own field, they belong to the same era, and icons on Young India and 
have brought cheer and pride to the nation. There are millions of people who 
are big fans of both these legends and I don't see anything wrong in this 
thread. 

I agree if you have an issue about people comparing Rahman with other composers.

Chill dude! This is not a convent with strict disciplines. People should be 
allowed to express what they feel, as far as it's related to Rahman. If you 
don't like a thread, there's a delete button available to your rescue :)

[arr] Catch the flavour of A R Rahman in Udaan

[Siddiq Rahman]

Catch the flavour of A R Rahman in Udaan
On the recommendation of superstar Salman Khan, the first blind band
Udaan got its big break with the album ‘Udaan Instrumental’ which was
produced by T-series and gave chance to Udaan Entertainment to showcase
their talent. The album turned out so well that T-series’ Kishan Kumar
decided to produce two to three albums every year with them.


Buzz up!
The
promoter of the band Keval excitedly shared some of the best memories
that they had while working with T-Series and says, “It’s been a while
we worked with Kishan Kumar ji but memories still echo in our mind. Our
work impresses him so much so that he went on to compliment us that our
music gives the flavor of A R Rahman’s style of music. I think such
compliments will always motivate us to perform better.”

He
goes on to add, “Early on, they purely took us on the recommendation of
Salman Bhai and never expected much from us, but when the final product
came out, it left everyone in shock.”

Thereafter, this band has
been on a roller coaster ride of musical success. They are currently
concentrating on Bollywood based theme music and a new fusion album is
also in the pipeline.

[arr] Female version of Aaromale

[Thulasi Ram]

the female version of aaromale appears after a fraction of second when
trisha reveals her love to simbhu. OMG! i just cant get over it.. stunningly
mesmerizing and then the aaromale beat when both run to find a secured place
in her home is just awesome. sheer magic.

the entire scene is intense and the music just augments that scene to a new
level. brilliant performances add to the enlightment of that scene.
terriffic stuff. vl remain as an unforgettable scene i've ever seen as its
unseen before. last ones being from alaipayuthey and minnale...

watched the movie 3 times now. always great to enjoy movies like this
friends (scream and enjoy everything!)

[arr] Re: Your ideal interview question

[Swarlok]

A question that has been on my mind for a long time ever since I heard Dil Se 
(title track) and Thaniye (Rhythm):

"How were you inspired to come up with these tracks? What exactly was the 
mental/emotional/spiritual process you underwent which resulted in these songs?"

These two songs for me will always be a hallmark of ARR's world-class skills as 
a music craftsman.
