[arr] Rahmania Spreads- And Welcoming Him
I can't put to words my joy that Rahman Sir has won 2 Oscars!! After BAFTA win I wrote an article as a tribute to Rahman Sir, so after Oscar win I found it fitting to write one more. I've written about a condition called Rahmania - which is a condition of sheer joy or exhilaration when exposed to music of Rahman Sir's music (Familiar feeling isn't it?). Here is the link, I hope you like my humble mark of respect: http://www.thetossedsalad.com/2009/02/oscar-catches-rahmania/ Also, Are we doing anything to welcome Rahman Sir to India? I hope we do, and if he lands at Mumbai I'll be able to attend it.

Re: [arr] When you are number one, there WILL be a bullseye target on your back
Implying that ghazals are the only true form of music is very arrogant. I believe Jagjit Singh is just another opportunist having his 15 secs of fame in bashing Slumdog. Very obviously he has not heard the full umbrella of Rahman's compositions and expecting Rahman to cater to his genre is very demanding. Nobody asks Jagjit Singh to come out with a Carnatic, Rock or Hip Hop number. His main forte is ghazals and we dont demand him change, expecting Rahman to compose for every genre in the world overriding the theme in the movie is not practical. Glad to see Aadesh Srivastav and Alka Yagnik defending Rahman with valid points From: Chord purev...@yahoo.com To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, 30 January, 2009 7:17:12 AM Subject: [arr] When you are number one, there WILL be a bullseye target on your back If happens everywhere. It's the nature of the beast. Jealousy, envy, whatever it is. When you're the top of the game, THE top, you will have shots coming your way. It is to be expected. Rahman is the best. He is receiving lots of attention, praise, etc. The comments by Mr. Singh to me are not surprising given that I knew that one of these days, someone would open their mouth and say something negative about ARR. It was bound to happen. And it WILL probably happen again. Someone will speak to the media and say something sarcastic, or negative about Rahman, similar to what Ismail Darbar said about Rahman a few years ago. What bothered me about Mr. Singh's comments is that even if he didn't mean to attack Rahman himself, the way his comments came out sounded very accusatory and insulting, essentially saying, What Rahman has accomplished is really not that great given that he has not composed ghazals since ghazals are the ultimate and superior form of music. His tone was arrogant and of superiority. Why couldn't he have just said I would love for Rahman to compose ghazals since films today don't have a lot of them. Rahman is talented and versatile enough to compose ghazals. It is obvious that Mr. Singh has issues related to anger and bitterness over his life and the fact that he is not getting many film assignments. A person of his age and stature shouldn't be making such impulsive and blunt remarks. I would expect that from a junior artist or someone much younger. When people make such comments about how Rahman uses only Western tunes, did they ever hear his soundtracks such as Water, Earth, Lagaan, Bose? What about songs like Piya Ho, Naina Neer, Na Shiqua Hota, Mujphe Toofan, Sarfarosh Ki Tamanna, Desh Ki Mitti, Ghooparani, Tere Bina, etc. etc.? You would get the feeling that they think that Rahman only composes songs like Pappu all the time!! Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/invite/

[arr] Re: Blogger Review - yuvraj
Actually the competition for best music as i see is between ARR ARR ARR and SEL i.e. Jodhaa Akbar JTYJN (although contemporary, the songs are amazing) Yuvraaj (if it is as good as the author suggests, as I haven't heard it yet) and Rock On!(SEL have rocked everyone and potentially revived Indian rock scene, Sindbad the sailor!!).
Re: [arr] A.R.Rahman isn't a good judge of scripts
The author mentions that movies by new directors that were hit were backed by strong personalities. Lagaan was produced by Aamir Khan. Rakeysh Mehra himself admits that without Aamir the movie was not possible, hence again the movie had strong backing. As I don't watch Tamil movies I can't comment on them. However, i'd say that a good script rendered badly on screen can also spoil a movie. But with the kind of movies being churned out of Bollywood, ARR's choice seems spot on, with a few exceptions obviously like Lakeer, Kisna. But I'm glad he did compose music for them! So an interesting observation indeed!
[arr] Re: Before critizising ARR read it guys....
Very well said! It's one thing to have a few hits to one's name and quite another to consistently remain at the top. Just like Sachin Tendulkar I'd say! thatt's why both are aptly called Genius.
[arr] Re: Yuvvraaj - Rahmaniacs stay away :-x
Wow! That is hilarious indeed, and what better time to read it than when you can do with a good laugh? I loved the last sentence even considering the few songs he composed for Kisna!! Anyways not a bad idea to get publicity. And by the way Yuvraaj music has released?
[arr] Re: ARR's trend with JTJYN
Actually, I had the same thought when I heard Kahin to. Although, it might just be a coincidence that Rahman Sir mentioned his liking for the song and we got to hear the kahin to in the same timeframe. But yes melodious songs with simple orchestration with meaningful (or mushy) lyrics seem to be a trend right now.

Re: [arr] Jakkubai Music
All know that Rajini launched the movie JAGGUBHAI in 2004 with KSR as director and ARR as MD. Infact ARR himself comfirmed that he composed a song for that movie. But since the movie was shelved, ARR used the song in AH AAH - ANBE AARUYIRE. ARR compensated KSR for this shelved project by working in GODFATHER. The movie took ages to see lights and ultimately the qaulity music for that movie went unnoticed. Anyway, with regards to the current version of JAGGUBHAI with Sarath, I think its not worth doing a movie that gonna be a political propaganda (whatso ever be the original storyline). --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Vithur [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That Ravikumar project where ARR is likely to work is not JAGGUBHAI...

Its been ages since we last saw a back to back ARR album releases. During the time where we get only 2 or 3 ARR releases a year and a huge gap between 2 releases its really a double delight for fans with the release of ADA and JTYJN.

Can someone comeup with a list of ARR's back to back relases?

Ya Jaane Naa? This is the first feeling one got the moment the first look of this Aamir Khan production was out. Marking the launch pad of his nephew, Imraan Khan, Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Naa seems to be another innocent love story in the offering sans any unnecessary mush, hence going truly with contemporary times. With pretty girl Genelia D'Souza opposite Imraan in this campus flick and A.R. Rahman as the composer, this Abbas Tyrewala debut directorial venture (he also doubles up as a lyricist here), JTYJN, is a promising flick arriving this summer. Does the music hold up to the promise? The answer is - Yes! Write your own music review of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na First things first - when the best of the best of 2008 would be written down, the number 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi' would definitely find a mention. Crooned by newcomer Rashid Ali who is being introduced by Rahman on Bollywood musical arena, the song is beautiful from the word GO, the moment guitar strings mark the song's beginning. Rashid's voice is just perfect for an actor who is being launched in a youthful romantic entertainer and the singer utilizes the big platform to the fullest. While Abbas' lyrics go truly with contemporary times, it is a nice change to hear a Rahman composition in a truly mainstream cinema rather than the historical/period/ issue based films for which he has been creating music for quite some time now. In true Rahman style, he gets together a bunch of singers for the track 'Pappu Can't Dance'. Well, this is the track which is supposedly a spoof on Salman Khan's on and off screen image and has been making news in last few days. The song's beginning has a rhythm which has formed a part of the racy proceedings in the first teaser of Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Naa that had kick started the film's promotion a few weeks back. Anupama, Benny Dayal, Blazee, Tanvi, Darshana, Satish Subramanium and Aslam come together to sing about this character called 'Pappu' who has seen all the riches in his life. Since the day he was born, he roams around in the best of the cars, has a body to die for, boasts of an impeccable style, but alas, can't dance to save his life. Hence the title - 'Pappu Can't Dance'. A fast moving fun song, which has a campus setting to it and also appears in a 'remix version', 'Pappu' is a song which should be fun when watched on the big screen. It's a new sound at the very beginning of 'Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai (Aditi)' that hooks you on instantaneously. This very rhythm stays throughout this song which is crooned for the female character of the film, Aditi, by yet another relative newcomer Runa. If the song's haunting tune wasn't enough, the way Runa renders the track makes it one as the sad theme of the song conveys what the protagonist is going through. A number about a girl remembering the times gone by with the boy she loved, 'Jaane Tu' is composed in a style, which is similar to that of 'Zara Zara' [Rehnna Hai Terre Dil Mein] and hence can be expected to grow over a period of time. The song is later heard in a version meant for the film's male protagonist Jai and is titled 'Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai (Jai)'. This time around the beginning is even more somber and takes it's own time to reach the stage where Sukhwinder Singh comes around to hold the center stage. The pensive mood is conveyed well yet again though this time around the version is even more somber. Guitar is at play once again in the number 'Nazrein Milaana Nazrein Churaana'. The best song to arrive after 'Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi', 'Nazrein' deserves to be the next song in line for promotion. Packed with youthful energy, the number has a Rahman stamp all over it and goes in perfectly well with the film's campus mood. In fact just one hearing and you are sure to carry the number along for your next camp fire outing. Yet again, it's an array of singers - Benny Dayal, Satish Chakravarthy, Naresh Iyer, Darshana, Shwetha, Tanvi, Bhargavi, Anupama - who come together but never once does one feels like trying to find out the singer

[arr] Re: ARR and awards
I was surprised myself that Guru won Best Music award that too in the popular category since it wasnt the biggest musical hit. I thought Metro or TZP will get best music, but that doesnt mean Guru doesn't deserve the award. Although I have heard only two songs of Metro so I may be wrong in comapring with TZP and Guru. I consider bin tere kya jeena as one of Sir ARR's greatest works. I see it in this way : TZP and Guru both had fantastic music, and both deserved the award. (Also, remember SEL vs ARR in music category for Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai??) About BGM I can only say that I loved Guru's BGM, but since i havent watched too many movies, I cant comment on the award. Coming to RDB versus Omkara, barring the title track, i think music of RDB is miles ahead. khalbali is such a a deep and moving song, enhanced with mind-blowing orchestration, and the lukka Chhuppi is just par excellence. And I think tu bin bataye deserved more recongition, it is so heart rendering!

It is nice of Vishal and Shekhar to praise Rahman Sir and Ismail Darbar.

Re: [arr] Re: Munbe Munbe Vaa is a complete lift of a sample!
I agree with KunalWould you say that because somebody had the Theen taal
(tabla) in a song...nobody else can use it. If somebody else used it, would you
actually be shocked. Its just a sequence of beats / notes. The true gift would
be using it a place where it sounds not just good but great.

A silent user here (but also a composer),
Hi guys and girls,
Me as a omposer do use lots of samples, not in all my music. Ofcourse
I'm not the only one who uses these samples.
Last month I bought a sample bank: Uberschall - Da Nu RnB, Hip Hop
Drum Loops and Samples.
I was really glad hearing these awesome samplestill suddenly I
heard a simmilarity between a sample song called Hip Harp and Munbe
Munbe Vaa!!!
I was really shocked, it was like A. R. Rahman used these samples but
played them in adifferent range! it sounds like a complete lift! Even
the beat measure of this sample is a clear copy of the rythm used by
A. R. Rahman in Munbe Munbe Vaa!!!
I like you guys to hear these samples, but pls give me a good link
where i can upload these files.
Warning : DO NOT GET SHOCKED HEARING THESE SAMPLES, THESE SAMPLES ARE
MADE BEFORE A. R. RAHMAN'S MUNBE MUNBE VAA!!!
I can say, that everybody uses samples, wheter they are beats or
sounds. Every producers gets inspired by some samples. Even A. R.
Rahman, the biggist composer of these times, uses samples in his
music arts.
Do not reply stupidness untill you heared these samples, otherwise you
are fooling yourself and others. First listen to the sample and then
give you're opinion.
Sorry for my bad English:P

Re: [arr] Is it me or that snare too loud?
...now I hear it too - Original Message From: kaissiom [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 2:27:43 PM Subject: [arr] Is it me or that snare too loud? Hello Rahmaniacs, I was listening to Guru again, just like every other day. I know, I know, most people have moved on to Sivaji. I still have the hangover from Guru as I'm trying to absorb Sivaji. Wow, every song in Sivaji is so unique and like always slow poison. Well, going back to Guru, Tere Bina in particular. It's definitely one of the best ARR songs, plus him singing it puts it in another league completely. But if there is one thing I wish was different about the song is the snare beat. Although the use of snare itself is great, I find the pitch and volume of the snare a bit out of place. I'm not critisizing Rahman, because as a fan I have come to realize many a times that some of the unusual sounds in his songs are intentional. Only the master knows his work and all we could do is try to understand it. So, whether the snare bit there is intentional? I don't know. May be it was Rahman's decision, may be it was the work of the sound engineers. I'll never know. But I do know that I would have appreciated the song a tab bit more, if the snare hadn't been that loud. The song itself has a very hindustani/sufi elements to it, as it is inspired by Sajna tera bina by NFAK. The singing and instruments for the most part are also along the same lines, if there is one thing different about the mood of the song is the snare beat. The snare sounds like it is out of a pop/rock/english song. Again, that is intentional, I'm not surprised by that, it is Rahman after all, and in fact I feel it's great fusion. But I can't ignore the sharpness and volume of the snare that it sometimes sounds like some kind of timer ticking. And its volume level varies throughout the song. I feel as if it was added on top of the song after the whole song was done. It sounds great when it starts at 00:20 All of a sudden there's a sharpness/volume increase at 00:39 It goes through minor changes in between and gets completely dropped at 02:06 - The song sounds great without it. It re-enters at a moderate level again at 02:47 It is well-blended with the background beat between 03:00 and 03:58 Then you can hear it in varying degrees until the song ends. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I've had to turn the volume down during certain parts of the song due to the snare. I know what you are thinking, What is he doing complaining about the little things? Well, I'm a Rahman fan, and by definition it means that I do pay attention to and care about minute details in Rahman's songs. But another thing I know about myself is that I have very sensitive ears, I sometimes pick up sounds that most people in the room do not. And that could just be a contributing factor to the whole situation. So I was just wondering if anyone else felt the same way about the snare being loud or is it just me after all?

[arr] Is that the CD Cover? Not impressive
The so called CD cover with AVM Musik label is not that impressive, even ayngaran's release version cover looks better. I hope this is just the 3D sticker (maybe such colours and backdrop r ideal for 3d/hologram stickers) and not the actual CD/Audio Cover.
[arr] There is no more the same old fun excitement of audio releases
There use to be a time, when there were no big audio release functions, audio hits the stands silently. But some how fans get to know abt the audio release details. At the same time there use to be a lot of excitement while grabbing a copy of the audio b'coz it is only at that instant we get to know how many songs or who is singing and other such details. And then breaking the seal and listening to the songs 1 by 1, is a great experience. It is a well known fact that it was ARR who initiated the audio boom in tamil industry. And others started capitalizing it. We can say 90s was a golden ers for tamil audio industry, especially 98-99 when all MDs were at top form (ARR had nearly 8 tamil releases that season). I sure all audio buyers of 90s would have felt the same excitement. Now, though we have hi-tech facilities, we don't have the same old excitement. Songs gets leaked b4 release, pirated audios and mp3 hits the stands. Poor audio investers, they find is difficult even to take back their money. But even at these hard conditions Rajini's movie or it's audio maintained those sort of excitement. But in the case of Sivaji, the excitment is only going to be half. B'coz half of the album is out already. But still I am pining up hopes for the other half and also expecting some more programming in the leaked songs. But what ever be the case, we don't get to feel the some old excitement that use exist in mid 90s.
[arr] I still believe there is a suprise packet awaiting for the fans.
According to 1 report, it seems Shanker has plans to have few songs (maybe appearing in the audio) and scenes that will not be a part of the movie. They will be used for promotion of the audio-movie and give a different idea about the final output. Their intensions are to suprise the fans when the hear the actual audio and watch the actual movie. If my calculations are correct then I feel that these 3 tracks have been deliberately released by AVM Co to make the fans April(4) fools. If my calculations are wrong then it AVM Co who are going to be April fools.
[arr] There could be a suprise in the Sunlight song when the actual album is out.
Ofcourse, I admit the fact that this 40sec sample is from the movie Sivaji (This time around the fourms have something really from Sivaji, and not a fake one). But we can expect some suprise when the album is out. According to the intial reports, this was the song that was composed by ARR with his laptop. The song was composed tentatively for the shoot to go ahead on time. It was also said in the report that ARR was asked to work on it with some more additional programming. So, I feel that this sample is the tentatively made piece and not the final output. Maybe, I could be wrong also.

[arr] Re: Aamir's production has sensibilities of 4 years back
If my memory serves me right, weren't Shankar Ehsaan Loy supposed to compose the music for this movie, or was it for the other movie Aamir is producing? ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, satish_srini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By IndiaFM News Bureau, February 16, 2007 - 05:48 IST Post Rang De Basanti and Fanaa we haven't heard much from Aamir Khan on the filmi scene. However the actor, off late, has been pretty busy with acting, production and rumouredly also ghost direction. Firstly he is producing Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na that marks the directorial debut of script writer Abbas Tyrewala. Recently rumours had it that the film has been renamed to Main Hoon Na Maqbool. This is hilarious, exclaims Abbas Tyrewala. Perhaps the rumour originated from the fact that Abbas happens to be the writer of both Main Hoon Na and Maqbool. But Main Hoon Na Maqbool is a better title. I should have thought of it before, he adds teasingly. The title of the film is confirmed as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Speaking about the cast of the film Abbas says, Aamir's nephew Imraan Khan will be seen as the male lead. He is Aamir's sister's son. I can't divulge much about him at this moment, but he is definitely one actor to watch out for! Genelia D'souza of Tujhe Meri Kasam and Masti fame has been finalized to play the female lead. The film about young love is almost reaching completion. Says Tyrewala, We will be shooting continuously till the first week of April. A few months of post-production after that and hopefully then the movie will be ready for release! So is Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na a period film? No, it is not a period film, says Tyrewala, But it is not very modern as well. It has sensibilities of five years back. While Aamir is producing the film, PVR Cinemas is presenting it. A. R. Rahman is composing the music for this film. Being an Aamir Khan production we question Abbas if there is any possibility of Aamir Khan making a cameo in the film and he confirms, Aamir himself will not be seen anywhere in the film. However there are a lot of other actors in the film who will make a special appearance including Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Arbaaz Khan and Arshad Warsi Apart from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Aamir is also producing a film called Tare Zameen Par that is being directed by Amol Gupte. Aamir plays the male lead of this film. He will also be starring in the remake of Tamil film Ghajini that pairs him with Ayesha Takia. Finally there is Mani Ratnam's Lajjo where he is cast opposite Kareena Kapoor. http://www.indiafm.com/features/2007/02/16/2263/index.html

And secondly, they are not belittling the music of Dil Se at all! In fact, it shows that the current phase of music listening is wired to listen more to 'entertainment' music than 'classic' music. I have grown tired of people putting down other music-director' s music, implying that only Rahman can create good music. Of course, I believe with all of Rahman fans, that he is the best. But, even Rahman appreciates good music by other people. The focus should be on good music, not on rebelling against non-Rahman music. Jatin Lalit have been praised by even Rahman at times, as having their own original style of music. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai till date remains one of the most popular love songs of this generation. Pehla nasha, all songs from DDLJ, Khamoshi, Ghulam, Sarfaroosh, Chalte Chalte, Yes Boss, and all the way to Fannah -- they have some impressive line up of gems. And something JL really brought to Bollywood was the youth feel combined with RDBurman touches, to provide very up-beat and feel good music. And as far as the genre of marriage numbers is concerned, Jatin Lalit do take the cake with bringing in a new dimension to that. It is indeed unfortunate for Bollywood to have lost this talented duo to personal conflicts.

During 1994-95, there use to be 6-7 hindi songs inspired by Muqala Muqabula within a same countdown episode in Hindi channels like ZeeTV, JainTV etc. When Kadhalan was dubbed into hindi, the original Muqala Muqabula took the No.1 spot while the other inspired songs took the succeeding spots. Those days the whole countdown show looked like a Muqala Muqabula Special. Anu Malik was taking abt this in frustration in a interview during that season, where he stated that all directors-producers come to him and ask to compose a item song in their movie with Muqala Muqabula tune.

hi, I also think that he shouldn't do it. seems like the director is confused or somthing. I mean why would a director want 5 MDs to begin with? WHat happened in Kisna was that Sir ARR didn't have dates so he composed only 2 songs and then Ismail Darbar was roped in. But it's beyond me to have 5 composers for 1 movie. but Sir ARR is the best judge and I'm happy with whatever decision he makes. ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, srikanth gopalan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all arr fans i request arr not to accept this offer if he is asked to compose 1 or 2 songs .i request him to pull out from the project srikanth jsrwm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's an innovative insult for a world renowned music director especially who had been decided as the main MD for the movie.

The movie being directed by K S Ravi Kumar with dialogues by Crazy Mohan is expected to begin soon. The actor had left for the USA recently along with Ravikumar to finalize the script. Featuring him in 10 different roles, Kamal Hassan has mooted the idea of trying out five music-composers for the film. It seems to have won the favor of producer Oscar Ravichandran. It would now mean that five top music-directors would compose music in Dasavatharam. If like that will ARR be one of the 5. Maybe the five will be ARR, IR, Yuvan, Harris, Vidyasagar or Bharadwaj?

[arr] Re: Rahman's music is not good
hi, I don't think he should take up the Global warming cause because for one thing it's highly controversial and for another not entirely correct. Yes the Earth is warming up but up to what extent is it caused beacuse of human involvement, if it is, is not very clear. It can just be an environmental trend, like it was global-cooling till 80s. Then also the Earth has experienced the ice-age. So we must understand that the Environment is dynamic. So it may cool down or warm up without human invlovement. SO this is one cause that he shouldn't take up. But if it is conservation of forest and wildlife, then they r the real issues. By the way I have a yahoo forum called Save_the_tiger, but till now no1 seems to be talking any interest in it. So I think, that if Sir ARR takes interest in the isses i've put forth, ppl will be more aware. ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, mike28282 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: eerr guess u'll be fuming by now. read the following then i'll tell u y !!!

Re: [arr] Is Rahman a complete Director's Choice?
HI, Well either change his attitude accord'g to every director's musical tastes.., as you say, or not work with directors at all who's musical taste isn't good.

He should rather not release a song for shooting unless he was convinced by himself that its upto his standards. Not all directors are AG, MR or ROM.

[arr] Re: Is ARR A Complete Composer.............?
here's my reply, I think most ppl fret abt Sir ARR being an electronic composer only because they r not well acquainted with his work. Regarding the electronic issue, r u aware Sir ARR did not use a single electronic instrument to get a periodic feel to Lagaan?(According to Extraa Shots on Max). If you listen to his period movies you'll find only a minimal, if any, use of electronic instruments. He used Czech Orchestra for Bose, Mangal Pandey. And by the way Water is on the way, I'm sure that u won't complain of electronics after listening to that beautiful soundtrack. Now you can't expect movies like Rang De Basanti to have symphony, it's a youth movie like many that SIr ARR has composed for. Just look at the sheer versataility of His, from Arabic, Karniatic, Hindustani, Western classical, Hip Hop, rock n' roll(RDB bgm), to folk of GOd knows how many places. And still you say he's not a complete composer. This doesn't belittle Sir ARR's work but shows your lack of exposure to ARR magic. My due apologies for being so blunt. ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, rangdebasanti3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: mr. madhukar, u say u r an arr fan and the first message u post criticises him. what kind of a fan u r. what is the meaning of complete composer? no one is 'complete'. but surely rahman is someone who comes closest to being complete. regarding the symphony. rahman himself had apologised for his failure. that is d greatness of the man. i think even u shud show the greatness and apologise for ur mail. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Madhukar Srinivasan Iyer yesmadhukar@ wrote: Hi All, I am a new member from chennai in this group.To be frank, ARR is certainly not my 1st favourite MD.He is just one of my favourite MD.Accordiong to me, ARR is miles away from becoming a complete composer.It has been almost 15 years since he has come in to the industry and he is yet to compose a complete symphony.ARR recently performed in a renowned london based philharmonic orchestra and to our disappointment he hardly impressed anyone as a conductor.ARR was only the 2nd Asian to have performed at the Royal LOndon Philharmonic Orchestra after Illayaraaja. Please dont think i am just against ARR. ARR himself confessed that he failed miserably as a conductor and promised a much better show next time. Coming to his composing, he has showed his class in a lot of songs.His electronic music pleases everyone in this world. But to me music is not only the electronic rhythm, pure orchestration is what a best composer strives for.With due credits to ARR, he has orchestrated mind blowing pieces.But the amount of orchestration he uses as against his usual rhythm is very meagre.Symphonies are all about orchestration.As an indian,i would want ARR be known as a great composer and conductor because nowadays we can see number of music directors coming up with their own electronic rhythms in varied styles, but can anyone of you single out a great orchestrator among them.Giving a hit song is not all about music.Eventhough ARR started his carrer with a lot of orchestration, he has relied more on elctronic rhythm than orchestration, which is the purest form of music.I would love to see ARR as an orchestrator than an electronic composer. Please note that I have not posted this message to hurt anyone.i just found this topic to be intersting and i have just aired my views.hope you all take it in the right sense.

[arr] Deja vu
A lot ofmessages have beenposted about how other composers "copying" rehman's tunes. I would not be that harsh to say the other composers copied the tunes. Here is my take on this.I have a feeling that when you listen to a song for a long time it kind of imbibes itself inside you. Then it starts reflecting in your work.Take Dus Bahane...(rocking number no doubt)but listen carefully to the openingbeats before the singer starts with 'here now;here now'. Now play taal se taal mila, listen to the humming after the initial water drop sounds. Voila we found a match.It would not be wise to sayVishal Shekhar copied these tunes. Its just that they are influenced by Rehman's songs so muchthat it starts showing up in their work. Hell if I started composing music tomorrow, it would be the same case. So most of the times if certainnotes are similar to a song composed by someone else - it is merely a deja vu. The other song is influencing your song in an indirect way. I would consider such songs as a compliment to Rehman's song rather than take out my knife and rip apart the composers. With all due respect composing music is the mostprecious talentwhich only few people are gifted with. So lets not drag down other composers just to prove our point. On the flip side, we also have some composers who copy songs noteby note. You cannot do much about them. Just stop buying their music.Here is some food for thought The tram sequence bgmfrom yuvawhichgoesas "anjaana anjaani" sounds like the spiderman theme song. You know the one that used to play in the cartoons. Now I doubt if anyone will raise a finger against Rehman.So just chill guys and enjoy the great music from the maestro. Yahoo!

[arr] ARR needs to concentrate on BGMs in Tamil movies
In past few tamil movies, ARR's BGM work was average. He mostly reworks the song tunes and present them in instrumental form. I recently heard the 14 additional tracks from Ah Aah. I am sad to say there was nothing special in them to release it in audio form. There was only 1 theme which keeps repeating nearly 10 times. The remaining were instrumental versions of the song. When HJ and YSR are receiving good review for their BGM work, its sad that ARR lags behind in that dept for the past 2-3 movies. At the same time ARR is ROCKING in hindi movie BGMs. This may imply that ARR gets less time to work on BGMs for tamil movies. Its hope ARR to ROCK with tamil BGMs too in upcoming movies, especially Sivaji. ARR has always done decent job for Rajini movies. No 1 can forget the Oongal theme in Padayappa. And I really admired his BGMs in BABA. He has really done great job even though he was not given enough time for that. Some recent articles stated that ARR is keen to rock in all depts in his upcoming movies. Lets hope for the best. Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic.

Rahman By LISA TSERING India-West Staff Reporter PALO ALTO, Calif. - The superstar was down-to-earth, with an easy laugh, self-deprecating air, and an ingratiating willingness to speak from the heart. A.R. Rahman traced his career from pre-Roja to post-Rang De Basanti in an intimate, satisfying onstage chat at Stanford University's Dinkelspiel Auditorium Feb. 14 during the school's Pan-Asian Music Festival. Visiting ethnomusicology professor Natalie Sarrazin prefaced the conversation by tracing the history of what film music was like before a 25-year-old Rahman burst on the scene in 1991 with Roja. Sarrazin offered a fascinating look at the history of Hindi film music with its penchant for absorbing international influences and its unwritten rules. Each example was illuminated with a charming snippet of video, from films such as Shree 420, Sholay and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. There are certain 'codes' - iconic sound images - that recur in Indian film music, she said. The timbre of the Indian female voice is quite prominent, you hear large orchestras and soaring violins, and a wall of sound ... rising violins are a code for a love song. Rahman turned it all upside down, she explained. The first thing he did was to take the orchestral introduction and completely get rid of it. Cueing a scene from the Tamil film Gentleman (Rahman's Tamil compositions were not overlooked during the evening), she demonstrated how Rahman brought in one instrument at a time, creating musical tension. To cheers and shouts from the audience, Sarrazin moved on to musical scenes from Rahman's scores that have become icons themselves: Mani Ratnam's Roja (the witty Rukmani Rukmani), Bombay (Tu Hi Re), the Hindi version of Yuva and Dil Se (Chhaiyya Chhaiyya); Tehzeeb and Saathiya. He often puts two incongruous styles together that somehow seem to work, Sarrazin observed, with a clip from Lagaan's English/Hindi song O Re Chori and Sushmita Sen's jittery Shakalaka Baby (Nayak), which was one of his hit songs reworked to great effect in Bombay Dreams. As much as his fans and fellow artists love his music, Rahman is notorious for taking his time on each project. I have a nice relationship with all directors, but I drive the producers crazy, he joked. Mani [Ratnam] tells me the story that he told me for Roja, 'I need five songs, and I need them yesterday.' I was gone for three months. Working with lyricists, too, has its quirks. Sometimes Gulzar- sahib or Javed-sahib will give me just a title. Other times, they want the tune first, then they'll give the lyrics. One of the reasons Roja was such a departure from the style of music at the time was the way it was recorded, explained Rahman. At the time, there were these huge recording halls, with 50 violins, he said. But I was doing commercials in my own studio. When Mani wanted me to do the music, I said, 'Let's do it at my place.' I called my musician friends to come for the session, but at the last minute they all ditched me! I think they had all been offered more money somewhere that day, he said, laughing along with the audience. But my mother said, 'God will provide.' I ended up recording [the instrumental version of ]'Choti Si Asha' by myself, on a keyboard and sequencer. I thought I'd need to bring in 50 violins, but Mani said 'No, just be yourself. Follow your instincts.' Since he got his start writing ad jingles, wasn't it intimidating to take on the soundtrack to an entire three-hour film, asked Sarrazin. I was terrified in the beginning, replied Rahman. But then I learned that if I could write a piece of music that was 30

[arr] Sir ARR on chanel V
hi guys, I saw Sir ARR, Prasoon Joshi, Rakeysh Mehra being interviewed about RDB' music on Chanel V on a prog i think clled Boly V.They talked about each song and how they happened. Sir ARR said Khalbali was recorded in London(if i'm correct)in some different language, Rakeysh Mehra said that they needed a hindi song, so Prasoon Joshi came up with hindi lyrics. The lyrics of the title track, thodi si dhool meri, was written by Prasoon Joshi after he'd tea right after he woke in a morning. He faxed the lyrics too Sir ARR, and Sir ARR came up with tune, and that evening every1 was humming the tune!! there r many other things, though i can't remember clearly :-(. Any1 elses seen it? ash Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic. Only at arrahmanfans.com - The definitive A.R.Rahman e-community.

[arr] Sir ARR for Sholay??
hi, just read on imdb, and they've credited Sholay to Sir ARR, is that true?? also the r reporting Mazhab- the relgion to be post- production. and also Mahabharat has been credited.

[arr] my thoughts
hi guyz, I was wondering, why do we rate Sir ARR's music so highly? Is it because he has his own style, is it because he has some of the best artists in the industry with him, or is it something else? It was then I realised that his music touches my heart. Whenever i listen to Ae Ajnabee my eyes actually get filled with tears. When I hear Vande Mataram i feel proud to be an Indian. When i hear Khalbali i feel like dancing, and Hum hain iss pal yahaan takes me some place else. He pours his soul into every song he creates, no album other than Water can be the best example for it. Sir ARR has changed my outlook towards life. I consider myself priviledged to share a planet, in the vastness of the space, and an epoch, in the immensity of the time with a genius called A R Rahman. Long live Sir A R Rahman. ash Explore, Experience, Enjoy A.R.Rahman - The Man, The Music, The Magic. Only at arrahmanfans.com - The definitive A.R.Rahman e-community.

[arr] Re: Anyone want to laugh?
hi!! ok u do have a point there, but just try dancing to a song like Kehna hai Kya. It's not that Sir ARR is more keen to do westernised music, but he has to make a song that suits the situation in the movie. He himself said he hasn't sone any romantic movie for a while and that's y he coudln't compose romantic tracks like in Taal or Dil Se. About the lyrics, well, the same answer the song demanded those kinda lyrics. I mean y do we conviniently forget the track Hum hain iss pal yahaan? that was a romantic track 'coz the movie demanded itt, It was sheer melody, gr8 lyrics and it was a hit. It's when Sir ARR takes some more conventional romantc cinema, the ppl will stop criticizing his music. And also let's not assume RDB's music isn't doing well, it's been clmbing charts and after the movie is released i think it'll reach the top. ash --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Triply R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This guy may not be well-regarded in some other forum, but I have to agree with a couple of his points: 1) He has to give more time to create melodious music instread of this rap and western tren. We want Jiya Jale, Kehna Hai Kya over Khalbali type of songs. Absolutely. I am sick of hearing blaze or someone rapping over the songs. Paatshaala and Khalbali and songs like that really pull it down. Even the title song is a disappointment. When Daler Mehendi harped on and on about how he sang the entire song in 5 minutes, our suspicions should have been raised. The sad part is that Rahman himself seems to have taken just another 5 minutes to create the magic of the song after he has the singers recorded. The melody number Tum Bin Bataye has some promising instrumentation but seems too cliched and tries too hard to be a melody number. I like the organ which sounds like a chorus chanting during the verses, but the rest of the song is just meh. 2) He has to take well know renowned singers to make his songs more meaningfull. He has some vaugue thinking that only music directors are powerfull and singers are non entity. Both md and singers have contribution to make. When you take unknown singers you are actually letting people not to buy your albums. I wouldn't agree with this. The more reknown singers in this album are Daler Mehendi and Lata Mangeshkar and they were the weakest singers on the album. The newer voices are really better. And none of them tried to use an anglisized accent like Shaan in his Mohabbat hai Mirchi song. I just cant stand that. 3) He has to tell his lyricists to write something which people can understand not something like Pathshala or Dakka laga bukka. I felt the same thing. The lyrics of Paatshaala sounded too much like those badly dubbed songs from his Prabhu Deva era. If the album's claim to the charts is this song, I really dont have much hope for it's success. But Koon Chala and even the lyrics of the title song are pretty neat. And Lalkaar has good lyrics too. It's just the supposedly chartbusters like Paatshaala that have cheesy, if not enjoyable, lyrics. 4) Dont do period films. He is himself saying he is done with it but again taking assignments for it. Well, besides Akbar Jodha and possibly Buddha, I cant think of any other period films he is signed up for. Maybe the mirage that is Mahabharatha. But seriously it doesn't make a difference. He can really create great period music like Iruvar and 1947. Right now, it's his contemparary work that seems to be suffering, like RDB and Anbae Aayuriye. He has to correct the above otherwise none of his album going to reach the top 10. Except Swades and Yuva none of the last 9 albums even reached 5 lakhs unit sell. For ARR album usually it picks in West and South. But now West has also rejected it. I really hope the JoK rocks. I dont have much hope with Shivaji, cos though Shankar albums become hits (which, I agree, Rahman really needs badly), he seems to get the worst out of his music directors. Indian, Jeans and Mudalvan were really weak Rahman albums with Boys just rising a little above these. And Aniyan is possibly Harris Jayaraj's worst album. Pity, cos he is amazing too. So, at the risk of not being highly regarded with this group, I have to agree with this guy on a couple of points. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
