[arr] Re: Arziyan - a slight "Jerk" at 8:02

2009-01-22 Thread Ganesh Manikandan
I bought the album on T-Series' WebStore. I listened to it on my iPod 
and there is a perceptible "jerk" around the 8.00 mark :(. Is T-Series 
to blame or is it ARR's fault? Maybe I'm too picky, but this has 
tarnished my listening experience, more so because this album is 
otherwise perfection personified! I'd appreciate if anyone in the know 
can comment on this.

Thanks,
Ganesh

moghul will first bankroll and direct a Hindi film tentatively called 
Guru, starring Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan.

[arr] Some thoughts on Rang De Basanti

2005-12-11 Thread Ganesh Manikandan
Listening to "Tu Bin Bataye"... when Naresh first takes over, it is 
absolute bliss. It is probably one of the best whatever-that-part-of-
the-song-is-called ARR has composed! The Sax bit hearkens one back to 
the beautiful sax piece in the instrumental Vandemataram number. This 
and the wonderful segueing into Naresh's mellifluous voice is worth the 
entire price of the CD!  

And am I alone in feeling that the alaap in the mother-son song is a 
little bit out of place? what a precocious son (matching mom note for 
note :-))! 

I feel the Aamir "song" is too Iruvar like for comfort... especially 
the "ambience".

So far, there have not been too many goose pimply moments in RDB, but 
I'm sure that will change after a few more listenings. Has to!

[arr] ARR Spoof!?

2005-07-15 Thread Ganesh Manikandan
"...As the title suggests, the movie is supposedly a spoof on many 
things (Sathyaraj has a A R Rehman-like get-up in one of the stills), 
a favorite theme of the actor these days."

Source: http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/15684.html

A favorite theme? Why? Am I missing something? Why on earth would he 
be taking pot shots at ARR?

[arr] Värtttinä on ARR (too lazy to check if this has been posted already...)

2005-06-26 Thread Ganesh Manikandan
Source: http://www.vapaasana.com/varttina.htm


Switching effortlessly from English to Finnish and back again, the 
Värtttinä foursome admitted this has been the project of a
lifetime. 
"Since being selected to collaborate on the production (with
Indian 
composer A.R. Rahman) about one-and-a-half years ago, LOTR has 
pretty much consumed us," admitted Janne Lappalainen,
"although we 
still tour on the side, this project has been the focus."
With the February 2006 premiere, quickly approaching it is now back 
to the studio in Finland and then back to Canada in the fall for the 
beginning of rehersals.
"We have approximately one-year to go and lots of work to
do," 
Lappalainen continued, "and we'll be back in Toronto in
October to 
start working with the local talent throughout the winter."
Värtttinä is collaborating with renowned Indian composer A.R.
Rahman 
on the Lord of the Rings project. Because each composers' music is 
rooted in the history and complexity of their respective and 
distinct cultures, co-composing a production of this scale presents 
a unique challenge. 
"Of course we have very different cultures and customs," Janne 
Lappalainen admitted, "but we have gotten along very well." 
Ironically, it seems that the traditional stereotypes of Finnish and 
Indian cultures have been reversed in this relationship.
"Yes, A.R. is more of a solo worker and likes to be alone. Much of 
the time we each work separately and then only later exchange 
ideas," Lappalainen continued, "we have more of an organic way of 
doing things, working together and interacting." 
"Of course, there are times when we will have to co-collaborate on 
pieces and for those we'll get together and workshop. Overall, we 
have a very high level of respect for one another."
