[arr] AR Rahman Press Conference in Houston
[image: AR Rahman Press Conference in Houston] AR Rahman Press Conference in Houston HOUSTON: He slipped fleetingly into Houston for an unobtrusive visit with media this past weekend, but when A. R. Rahman stepped into the Hyatt Regency Hotel’s conference room, the famously private Mozart of Madras may have once again had it thrust home that his quiet days were over. Slightly built and youthful, the legendary music director of international repute was deluged by a storm of photographers, reporters, and fans. But he was a study in graciousness as he took his seat onstage and calmly waited for the furor to subside. Rahman was in the city August 7 to re-launch the publicity of his Jai Ho – The Journey Home World Tour in North America. The show, which had an extremely successful and critically acclaimed run in four cities within the US, was abruptly aborted in Detroit in July when part of the stage infrastructure catastrophically collapsed before the concert, destroying most of the staging, lighting and musical instruments. Jai Ho – The Journey Home, brought to this city by Moid Khan of Bollywoodshows4u, has been rescheduled to play at the Toyota Center on September 17, 2010, at 8.30pm. Rahman, the two-time Academy and Grammy Award- winning music director of the movie Slumdog Millionaire, has collaborated with creative director Amy Tinkham. Tinkham has previously worked with music icons in the ilk of Paul McCartney and Madonna, structuring and choreographing impressive live stage performances. The Jai Ho – The Journey Home concert is a two-and-half hours long theatrical experience that blends elements of Sufi mysticism, traditional folk, reggae, jazz, and rock, with new technologies. “Through the vast tapestry of music that is Rahman, he takes us on a virtual journey through beauty, culture, and spirituality,” said Tinkham. “This is uniquely Indian – both ancient and modern.” The Jai Ho concert incorporates the talents of a world troupe of dancers from various countries globally, and also includes a contortionist. The theme celebrates Indian culture and will include several of Rahman’s compositions new and old. Rahman told media that the performers rehearsed for nearly two months and that he avoided taking on other movie contracts to practice with them. “I’m so happy to resume touring,” said Rahman. “Performing live for my fans means so much to me and the time lost due to the accident has been very difficult for our team. The support and encouragement we’ve received from fans has been an incredible inspiration. We’re all very grateful and can’t wait for the fans to see the special show we’ve put together for them. I wanted to create a polished show,” he added. When a guest at the media conference suggested that Rahman tended to favor the Tamil and other South Indian languages more in his shows, he responded: “I’ve included many languages, but I’ve found that when you’re deep into music, the language ceases to matter,” Rahman said. Rachel Varghese, a fellow journalist from the local community was at the kick-off performance of Jai Ho – The Journey Home in New York in June. She raved about the show, calling it “simply stupendous”. “It was an extraordinary show. I am definitely going to see it again as I’m sure I missed something. There was so much to see. The beautiful set, the dancers – each song had a different stage design. It’s quite unlike anything I’ve ever seen before!” added Varghese. Dignitaries attending the media and VIP press conference were Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Council Member Brenda Stardig, Consul General of India Sanjiv Arora, Guy Rippon, Chancellor of the University of Houston, Dr. Renu Khator, and Suresh Khator. Sponsors included Udipi Café ( who also catered for the press meet), Tara Energy, Kohinoor Diamonds, Toyota Center, Qatar Airlines, and Snapple.

[arr] Robot Hindi singers
My most favorite Tamil song 'Boom Boom Robot da.. stands great in Hindi version too with, Madhusree replacing Swetha Mohan. (Agree the line resemble Thala Thala You know what, I literally forgot the Thala Thala song these days). My least favorite song in Tamil- Kadhal Anukkal ( not that I didn't like the tune but, the guitar sound is too louder and it's jarring my ears [:((] .) Now ARR has compensated this in Hindi by giving minimum focus on the guitar and the song sounds very soulful [:)] and I really enjoy the Hindi version more than the Tamil. Having said that, the song will be heavenly for those who already like the tamil version. All other songs are as great as Tamil. Here is the list: 1. O Naye Insaan Singer: Srinivas D., Khatija Rahman 2. Pyaara Tera Gussa Bhi/Pagal Anukan Singers: Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal 3. Naina Mile Singers: A. R.

[arr] Congrats to Mugdha - KM Music Student on SaReGaMaPa Singing Superstar
http://www.bollywood.com/rahmans-students-score Forgive me if this has been posted before... Rahman's Students Score! By Hindustan Times Mumbai, Aug. 13 -- She's a polyglot from A R Rahman's music academy, KM Conservatory, in Chennai and has made it to the top finalists of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstars on Zee TV that kicks off tonight. Mugdha has been studying music at Rahman's school for the last one year. She learnt Hindustani classical and semi-classical music during her growing up years. Today, she also sings in seven languages, apart from various other styles. When asked about making it to the top batch of contestants on the show, Mugdha who is participating in a reality show for the first time, says, It's my teachers' and my family's blessings. I hope to not let them down. The 20-something singer feels blessed to have made it to the The KM Conservatory. Rahman sir has been a pillar of support. The school has gained more popularity after sir won the Oscars. He had a few sessions with us despite a tight schedule. He interacted with us in the batch personally. He gave us great inputs about playback singing. I just want to make him proud now. Mugdha, who has sung for a Tamil film and a nursery rhyme album, hopes to find work in Bollywood after the show ends. This show is my biggest platform so far, she asserts. I hope I find work as a playback singer and make it big. Maybe then, I can also spread awareness about the global forms of music.

During the audio launch of *Enthiran*, Rahman revealed just how this happened, “I did not plan on bringing Khatija into singing. I was composing for the song 'Pudhiya Manidha' at my studio in Chennai. As usual, it was past midnight and I needed a child’s voice for it. I thought instead of calling someone at that late hour, why not my own daughter? And that’s how the idea originated. When I called her on the intercom, she asked, 'You want me to come at this time?' I said, 'Okay, fine. If you are not coming now, I will take someone else.' But even before I could finish my sentence, she said, 'I will be there in two minutes, appa.'

But what I got was songs that were at best brilliant at some point in bits and pieces. But, boy oh boy, I couldnt be more wrong. Many have spoken of ar rahman songs as slow poisons. I have also experienced it many times before. But this time, the effect is far more profound. I am now singing a different tune. I now feel that Endhiran is one of Ar Rahman most briliiant commercial compositions of all time. It must seem as though I am overly exaggerating. But this is how I honestly feel. Why the sudden change in opinion you may ask? Well, I dont know exactly why. Its as though my brain has started to finally tune in to the right frequency. Its as though I have finally come to a realization or an awakening to the genius. The Endhiran songs brilliance were revealed to me one layer at a time. Each song is a revelation. Every one of them. I am at loss for words. I cant seem to express my thoughts clearly in words but the music is brilliant guys. Music composed with the Super Star, The Robot element and Shankars grand vision in mind with plenty of magic all over. Melody, Groove, Rap, Techno all mixed into a concotion of such potent musical brilliace that Tamil music has never seen or heard before. I truly believe that many will come to experience the bliss of realization of the magic in Endhiran music once they are ready for it. Some realize it earlier and some will realize later. Everyone is different and will have to go through the process themselves to discover the magic. But without doubt, once the movie is released every one of us will be hooked to the songs. At the beginning, many would only hear the beats and noisy sounds. But slowly the melody will reveal itself to our senses. And the combination of melody and modern grooves will bring us to a new experience in tamil music. I cant only wonder what will happen when the movie comes out and we get to see the visuals together with the music. Cant wait for that moment. Keep listening guys. May the magic be revealed to you soon.

I still remember when I asked Sir at that time to hum a few lines of New York Nagaram, what he said in response will forever stay with me. He said. Guys don't stick only onto New York Nagaram, music is beyond the regular commercial cinema. Make your mark, aim at the moon..at least you will reach the stars .I was amazed at the fact that no matter how busy he was, he used to attend almost every student recital and concert that we used to have at KM. He used to listen to us patiently and give us suggestions, advice and clarifications on any doubts we had with so much patience. And in case he was unable to make it to an event, he used to send us a sorry note. I was just amazed that a man who is such a prominent society figure, a pioneer in popularizing indian music to globally, western music to the east, a musical magician, behaved so simple, so friendly and so down-to-earth. He did not even behave like a principal to us; he was more like a friend and even used to call some of the students with nicknames. For instance, whenever I used to see him, he always used to smile and greet me with a simple ‘Hey, Hi Man’ even before I said anything. There are just no words to describe his modesty and humbleness. Also to add, there is a government school near the conservatory. KMMC provides free music education to 40 students there, and Rahman Sir makes sure that they are all taught with equal interest and respect like any one of us. Another valuable thing

For me, these defining experiences happened during those years that I was a student of AR Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory. As I look back on that journey that has evolved me into making music my life and profession I feel KMMC happened a little late in my life but I strongly feel it couldn't have come at a more right moment than this. I had a keen interest in music since childhood, listening along with my grandfather to his thousands of carnatic collections including M.Balamuralikrishna, Thyagaraja, Ramadas, and many Annamayya Keerthanas and instrumentals. I recall composing rough tunes for fun, even before I started learning music formally. But it wasn’t until AR Rahman happened, that my passion for music grew beyond words. I became a devout fan of Rahman Sir ever since Bombay had released. I remember skipping my school continuously to go to the theatre where Bombay was being played just to listen to the music and the background scores. And with each of his releases after that, his music became a daily fuel for me. I had completed my Engineering degree in Chennai and was working a mundane software job. Of course, my body was there, but my ears, mind and thoughts were just tunes, melodies, rhythm and one man- AR Rahman. So when I heard news that Rahman Sir was going to open his own music school here in Chennai, which offers courses in western classical music, various areas of music technology, instruments, and vocals, I thought to myself, “If I wanted to give my passion for music a chance to grow and give a chance to live my dream-job as a composer, THIS was it.” And what better opportunity to learn at an institution developed by a man who I worshipped and looked up to for so many years. So without hesitation I applied for an audition. Now I wasn’t at all sure I would get in and did not even tell my family or anyone else about applying to the school. I thought to myself by auditioning I would at least catch a glimpse of the school and studio, and if lucky catch a glimpse of Rahman Sir. So I was super surprised and was just in utter disbelief when I got that call of acceptance and my family was even more shocked when I told them that I am going to resign my job and join KMMC. So here I was literally on cloud 9, about to begin a journey that I had only dreamt of all these years. In KMMC I took western classical vocals and composition as a major with a prior knowledge in carnatic vocals and keyboard. As soon as I entered the conservatory compound on the first day, I could just feel the aura of positive energy all around. The school had almost like a homely and soothing atmosphere with wooden floors and furniture, accented with warm curtains, large middle-eastern rugs, a beautiful grand piano and a picture of Rahman sir's father in the main reception area. More than this it was my fellow classmates from all corners of the world, and the amazing faculty that made those years the most memorable. Moreover, being part of KMMC I saw Rahman Sir in a whole different light, and my respect and devotion towards him grew to infinite lengths. During the first week he came and interacted with us in person and asked us our ambitions and goals. I still remember when I asked Sir at that time to hum a few lines of New York Nagaram, what he said in response will forever stay with me. He said. Guys don't stick only onto New York
Re: [arr] Endhiran - The magic have finally been revealed to me
i feel if u hear himesh reshamiya music 100 times then u will like that one also. Earlier Rahman music was so unique and melodius..if u hear first time then u will like it but nowadays rahman has lost that quality On Thu, Aug 12, 2010 at 10:05 PM, G unonumero thugs4e...@hotmail.comwrote: I have been listening to Endhiran non-stop ever since it released. I must admit. I didnt like it at the beginning. I felt as though most of the songs have fallen short of expectation. I was expecting to be blown out of my mind from sheer brilliance of the music. But what I got was songs that were at best brilliant at some point in bits and pieces. But, boy oh boy, I couldnt be more wrong. Many have spoken of ar rahman songs as slow poisons. I have also experienced it many times before. But this time, the effect is far more profound. I am now singing a different tune. I now feel that Endhiran is one of Ar Rahman most briliiant commercial compositions of all time. It must seem as though I am overly exaggerating. But this is how I honestly feel. Why the sudden change in opinion you may ask? Well, I dont know exactly why. Its as though my brain has started to finally tune in to the right frequency. Its as though I have finally come to a realization or an awakening to the genius. The Endhiran songs brilliance were revealed to me one layer at a time. Each song is a revelation. Every one of them. I am at loss for words. I cant seem to express my thoughts clearly in words but the music is brilliant guys. Music composed with the Super Star, The Robot element and Shankars grand vision in mind with plenty of magic all over. Melody, Groove, Rap, Techno all mixed into a concotion of such potent musical brilliace that Tamil music has never seen or heard before. I truly believe that many will come to experience the bliss of realization of the magic in Endhiran music once they are ready for it. Some realize it earlier and some will realize later. Everyone is different and will have to go through the process themselves to discover the magic. But without doubt, once the movie is released every one of us will be hooked to the songs. At the beginning, many would only hear the beats and noisy sounds. But slowly the melody will reveal itself to our senses. And the combination of melody and modern grooves will bring us to a new experience in tamil music. I cant only wonder what will happen when the movie comes out and we get to see the visuals together with the music. Cant wait for that moment. Keep listening guys. May the magic be revealed to you soon. (For faster realization, try listening with good headphones/sound systems - not with mp3 or cheap lousy earphones/speakers) Remember this is an auditory experience. -- Trusting in God never makes the mountain smaller, it just makes the climbing easier.

Photo: V. Ganesan] The HinduOn a roll Stephen Devassy. Photo: V. Ganesan Musician Stephen Devassy on his music school Muzik Lounge Popular pianist, stage performer and composer Stephen Devassy is on a roll. He has programmed over 2,000 songs and has worked with more than 50 musicians of the likes of A.R. Rahman, Zakir Hussain and Amjad Ali, to name a few. Now the musician who has charmed audiences with his talent – and his boyish charm and easy smile – is all set to enter a fresh arena in music. Stephen along with his brother, Sam Devassy, himself a sound engineer, musician and event manager, has opened a school of audio technology called the Muzik Lounge in Chennai. Muzik Lounge came into existence in 2007 as a result of the duo's dream to build a platform for musical excellence. Since then they have produced work for world renowned musicians and composers such as Amjad Ali Khan, Mandolin Srinivas, Vidyasagar and Rajamani. They have so far recorded and mixed around 30 solo albums, more than 60 film albums and have done the re-recording for over 100 films using the latest state of the art technology. RIGHT GUIDANCE When asked about his foray into music education, Stephen says: “I struggled to reach where I am today. There are a lot of talented youngsters who lack only the right guidance. My objective is to share my experience and that of other established professionals so that they are put on the right track.” Muzik Lounge currently offers two courses of 18 months duration – diploma in audio technology and diploma in music technology. They cover specialised areas such as analogue and digital audio engineering, acoustics engineering, sound synthesis, special FX, live sound engineering and so on. *“‘Pro Tools' is an amazing software in the field of audio technology. A.R. Rahman once told me that he took four years to master it.* Now a student who goes through our course will be taken through all the nuances of this software in a year's time and will be ‘Pro Tools' certified,” says Stephen. The musician has roped in some of the best talent in the country as faculty and brand ambassadors – percussionist Sivamani, veteran singer Hariharan, music composers M. Jayachandran and K.J. Singh, to name a few. There are also tie-ups with Leicester University, United Kingdom and SAE Australia for exchange programmes for students. The courses are certified by the Centre for Continuing Education, Government of Kerala. Some of the highlights of the course are focus on the practical side of the course, international guest lecturers, assistance in production and marketing albums, interactive sessions and guidance from experienced music directors in the Indian film industry and so on. Stephen also plans to open a branch in Kochi six months down the line. “The stakes are high considering the amount of financial commitment involved in ensuring that world class facilities and equipment are available to the students. But this is my passion,” says Stephen as he signs off. http://www.thehindu.com/arts/music/article570600.ece -- *- Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~*

First look of the movie was revealed yesterday, 14th August. Movie hits theatres on 15th October, so I assume we can expect music in mid sept (a month from now)
Re: [arr] Congrats to Mugdha - KM Music Student on SaReGaMaPa Singing Superstar
She was fantastic, Totally came in with a bang! The juries were stunned. But i dint like the idea about Vishal asking what is KM Conservatory. And i dont think so it was asked out of ignorance On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 1:11 AM, AJ purev...@yahoo.com wrote: http://www.bollywood.com/rahmans-students-score Forgive me if this has been posted before... Rahman's Students Score! By Hindustan Times Mumbai, Aug. 13 -- She's a polyglot from A R Rahman's music academy, KM Conservatory, in Chennai and has made it to the top finalists of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Singing Superstars on Zee TV that kicks off tonight. Mugdha has been studying music at Rahman's school for the last one year. She learnt Hindustani classical and semi-classical music during her growing up years. Today, she also sings in seven languages, apart from various other styles. When asked about making it to the top batch of contestants on the show, Mugdha who is participating in a reality show for the first time, says, It's my teachers' and my family's blessings. I hope to not let them down. The 20-something singer feels blessed to have made it to the The KM Conservatory. Rahman sir has been a pillar of support. The school has gained more popularity after sir won the Oscars. He had a few sessions with us despite a tight schedule. He interacted with us in the batch personally. He gave us great inputs about playback singing. I just want to make him proud now. Mugdha, who has sung for a Tamil film and a nursery rhyme album, hopes to find work in Bollywood after the show ends. This show is my biggest platform so far, she asserts. I hope I find work as a playback singer and make it big. Maybe then, I can also spread awareness about the global forms of music.
