Re: [arr] Flautist Navin Iyer on working with his mentor A.R. Rahman
Is Navin Iyer the same person as Naveen? Warm Regards ~~~ Vinayak http://www.flickr.com/photos/rightplacerighttime/ On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 8:06 PM, Vithur vith...@gmail.com wrote: Big dreams in the pipeline Flautist Navin Iyer on working with his mentor A.R. Rahman, his collaborative album and his experiments with unusual flutes It’s what you might call a quintessential Chennai music success story — boy begins learning Carnatic music at the age of three-and-a-half; has his flute arangetram in his teens presided over by acclaimed vocalist, Balamuralikrishna; does jingles with his childhood friend (music director G.V. Prakash) when he is just out of school ; is ‘discovered’ by the movie industry at Saarang, where he does a hat-trick as best instrumentalist three years running while studying engineering; and turns down a job with Infosys to end up working with none other than A.R. Rahman. Meet Navin Iyer, who at 24 is one of the most in-demand flautists in the film music industry, having recorded for over 500 movies in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. “I think I’m the youngest musician in the cine industry — not counting singers,” says the young flautist (and self-taught saxophonist) as we meet at his brand new personal studio in the heart of Mylapore. Life is hectic since, as he explains, he’s one of a handful of flute ‘session artistes’ in the country. “Being a session artiste is another skill altogether,” he says, lounging behind the studio computer in an old pair of jeans and faded T-shirt. “The music director will demand a particular feel for a song, which you have to deliver; at the same time, you have to be able to add your own creativity and compose on the spot. You should be able to change gears between the two immediately.” Recordings may last just a few minutes — his flute piece for ‘Akkam Pakkam’ from Kireedam took just four (“sometimes things just fall into place”) — or up to two hours for background scores, which generally take longer. “You need to watch the movie scene to get in sync with it,” he says, comparing the process to being ‘in a relationship’. “Unless you spend time with it, talk to it, you won’t get the exact feel.” One movie scene is etched in his memory for good — the one in Rang De Basanti, his first recording for Rahman. “He just called me and said ‘can you come?’” he recalls, still sounding awed. “My flute comes in the background score of the scene after Madhavan’s character dies… it was a very emotional scene, very emotional for me too!” Since then, he’s played for a number of Rahman’s projects, including the big one, Slumdog Millionaire. “The morning of the recording for Slumdog…I’d actually overslept, but luckily made it in time,” he says, adding with a laugh, “And then, my God, the Oscar!” He travels quite a bit for recordings, and sometimes, music directors travel to him, such as Vishal of Vishal-Shekhar who came down to Chennai just to record the flute track for Aakhon mein teri from Om Shanti Om, because he liked Navin’s ‘ideas and style’ . “Earlier, music directors would have the entire score written and cine musicians played according to that,” comments Navin. “Now music directors are more open; they enjoy it when we give our inputs. It adds a new dimension to a song.” Gone also are the days when session artistes had to come together at one time to record a song; today, with the magic of track technology, individual artistes can play their parts when they have time and “ping pong on to the next recording,” he says. “Right now, for example, I’m practising during the day for my concert tour with Earthsync, so I’m often recording through the night.” The day we meet, he’d been at Malayalam music director Ouseppachan’s studio at T. Nagar recording till 4 a.m., had gotten a couple of hours of sleep, hit the gym (“it keeps you kicking”), and fit in our interview before a practice session at 10 a.m. That’s the way he likes it — busy, with plenty of variety. At his studio is a specially-made glass flute which he’s been experimenting with. Next up is one made of clay, another of marble and a saxophone of bamboo. Ready to roll out is a collaborative album, ‘Three 4 the Music’, with mridangist D.A. Srinivas and violinist Raghavendra Rao that connects Carnatic music with everything from blues and jazz to Irish folk music (which translates as karaharapriyaragam, he tells me). And for the future, he wants to compose his own music. “I want to explore, expand my horizons and focus on my versatility,” he says. “I don’t want to get stuck in a small circle of experience.” *Trivia* Navin Iyer has collaborated with Vikku Vinayakram, Bombay Jayashri, Kadri Gopalnath and T.V. Gopalakrishnan on one hand, and U.K. percussionist James Asher, Earthsync and numerous DJs on the other. He sometimes does up to seven cine recordings a day. He sang on the title track

Just that i am a huge fan of headphones and i try and collect some rare or some sorta expensive ones. But in audio stuff expensive does not mean good!..there are some basic ipod headphones for even 1000 rupees by sennheiser that are damn cool, esply the bass response. Try it or try 'JBL reference' headphones i think it costs 2500 rupees, an absolute stunner. OK, here is the little i know and it works *Home Theatre* Dont go by the number of speakers. Some sony models come with 5 center button speakers and woofer of 4 channels thats like 11 speakers!! - Farce. Just take any 850RMS above home theatre with auto/manual calibration. Use manual calibration for rear right and rear left and notch it by say 1.5 dB. treble sounds crispper then. Works for ALL RAHMAN DISCS. Don't go by the size of the woofer. As long as its in a wooden box its fine.However, don't ever push the woofer into a corner of the room. It booms and the bass reproduction is wrong. You are looking for a rumble not windows rattling. Move your woofer about half feet away from walls. Test it by playing Maula Maula track from Delhi 6 ( a suble bass line that sounds so great!!) If you have some cash to blow try these - Jamo S 606 home speaker systems - Harmom Kardon HKTS series And yes, i agree Bose is over rated. Its great but lot of other guys have caught on and now theres very little difference. Go right ahead and by anything nice thats has packed speakers in wood. Not plastic. And if you get a DVD/CD player with the package but it. Normally u only get an AMP. In that case PLEASE do not compromise on your DVD player. Don't fit local ones. Play CDs and not MP3s in these systems to judge the output. Sometimes we might feel the bass or treble is low while playing a CD. But the sonic range is usually very rich and if you just change your seat it might sound better. *CD players * * * I sometimes think standlone systems sound way better. When you buy a HiFI or a mini HiFi, try and locate one with a manual EQ. This feature is becoming quite rare and i hate it. I found a pair from Wharfedale quite stunning. But then don't break your head!, but any neat wooden bookshelf speakers with system of about 150 RMS will be just fine for a small room. Like a Hostel room. *Headphones* * * Firstly, throw your iPOD headphones into the trash. The device works fine, but pathetic headphones.For your regular use like running,GYMing etc buy the Sennheiser that comes in a green box ( don't know the model number). Costs about 1500 rupees. It takes your iPOD audio to a different level. However, i found HD 595 Senheisser the awesomest one! Bose also works, but dont pay that much seriously. MP3 is MP3, you wont get some magic extra sounds and most of today's bollywood music is compressed and fedility is missing ( this included BLUE also,sorry ...). Blue sounds bad even in good headphones. Seriously, whats with that? *Audiophiles thingy* * * Well, investing on sound is not a bad idea only if you are listening to that kind of a material in its original medium. And this does not include Original MP3 CDs! Some of these Sony CD contain 'Super MP3!!' what the heck is that! The thing is, Audiophiles range is no doubt superior but it depends a lot on listening ambiance. Mostly we live in apartments with lot of world noises and volume issues. With this we only end up under utilizing the machines. And if you hookup an MP3 player you are just wasting your money in those. Most materials are not produced for Audiophiles. *Dos and Don'ts for playing audio CDs* * * Don't look for surround sound in audio CDs. Even if its is Rahman you won't find 5.1 effect in audio CDs. Its not meant for it. Super Audio CD or SACD is very rare. I have a few but have not compared with any standard CD medium of the same track. Don't increase the volume and think wow. If you can't hear details in 1/3rd volume then either your setting is wrong or the CD is badly recorded. *REFERENCE AR RAHMAN TRACKS FOR TESTING IN YOUR NEW HOME THEATRE/ CD SYSTEM*. Selected purly in brilliance in the sound (Not in any order) 1. Dil Se Re 2. Marudhaani - Sakkarakatti 3. Ghanan Ghanan - Lagaan *(Bose showrooms used this track as demo for a long time!)* 4.

All praises for your efforts. On the content of your review, I think Sonu might have got scared of the big budget and an international star so he might have decided to play it safe so that the burden of if the song flops doesn't come on his shoulder, so he didn't experiment, didn't stretch him limits, and gave a time tested often heard sound, as you said artificial and make-believe that became his undoing in this song. I think the overall predictable progression of the song itself is responsible for lackluster-ness of this song. So many songs like this have been heard across decades that this entire concept of a culture-clash culminating in local culture defeat the intruder, doesn't excite the imagination any more. The concept itself doesn't gel with anything that ARR is known for. He should not have got for a culture defeating another culture, but should have gone for it to culminate in a synergy of the two cultures. -- Rawat On 9/29/2009 12:49 PM India Time, _vinod sagar_ wrote: Everyone here, including me, had some great expectations from Kylie Rahman's collaboration and expected the song to be a hit. Though its unfair to expect a repeat of Chaiyya Chaiyya, which revived the career of Sukhvinder, still I expected something new I dared not to write any comment earlier, bcos I wanted ample time to get this song to grow on me, before I write anything... After all these days of listening , I have this opinion... just an opinion mind you... I think that the real culprit is Sonu Nigam !! His voice is so artificial and make-believe. .. yes I am using word artificial and make-believe. .. because listen to chiggy wiggy from 3:27 onwards you'll know what i mean... I found his voice more original in Satrangi re from 01:03 onwards... I strongly feel Daler Mehndi or Sukhvinder singh would have been a better choice.. maybe even KK... but not Sonu, his voice doesn't suit for this song !! The other reason is the rhythm (I dont know what they call it, beat, rhythm whatever) that Rahman has used, the one which has already been popular. Right from the beginning, whenever I listen to this song I feel like listening to Pritam's Zara Zara.. Chiggy Wiggy would have been a super-hit if it had been done before Zara Zara... Cos Zara Zara caught peoples imagination with the sensuous swaying of Katrina Kaif to the music of Pritam.. The next culprit is the sound quality, I think the recording engineer wanted the listener to hear all the sounds of the song at the same time... I feel that the sounds that were supposed to be in the background were brought forward along with all the percussions and the lead voices (This is the case with all the songs of Blue, H.Sridhar's loss is very evident here) .. it feels really horrible when listened on a high end sound system.. its even more horrible on small time audio systems, especially in office cabs !! Donno why, but after sonu's voice takes over the song, I couldnt help but wanted the song to end quickly !!! And when the song ends, it felt very peaceful, as if after the storm... I feel let down, when my colleagues at office talk abt chiggy wiggy and compare it with Zara Zara... I realised that everyone feels that chiggy wiggy is an extension of zara zara As for the sound quality of the songs

At the very least, ARR will likely receive acclaim from some critics who are open minded and appreciate variety and detail in music. To us ARR fans and lovers of good music, this soundtrack is truly a great achievement. However, as I've seen people here talking about another road to the Oscars with CR, let's be careful about expectations. No matter how good we think the music is, the film has got to be successful and well liked for the music to really go places IMO, and very importantly, how the music tracks are used in the film. You remember when Slumdog's early reviews came out even before the movie release? People were also talking about how great the music sounded too. In the video reviews we have seen thus far, nobody has mentioned anything about the music, which doesn't necessarily mean anything bad, but just an observation. Let's enjoy CR for the beautiful soundtrack that it is and as ARR fans, we can truly celebrate a career highlight. However, let's just be cautious about our expectations about the eventual commercial and universal acceptance of this brilliant score, esp. since the music may sound too foreign to untrained and unexposed ears.

I know it's a high profile song due to Kylie's presence and there was much hype about it, so I understand the disappointments by some, but to single the song out like that and pan it in notable media is too much IMO. I have to suspect some kind of media backlash, or at least sections of the media have organized bias against the song for some reasons. Maybe they were paid to write bad stuff about the song by someone. I will say this again: I like Chiggy Wiggy.

I love the sound effects in the song and the ending when Sonu uses Punjabi slang is really funny and very entertaining. The melody sticks and the beats are good.

Of course, the lyrics and singing of that song would need to be equally powerful as the melody and the music. One example of this type of song is Maa from Taare Zameen Par (SEL). Shankar won the national award for it and the song itself was praised to no end by young and old alike, north, south, east, west.

Re: [arr] There is nothing average about Blue's music!
Its not fair to compare the lyrics of the dubbed works of ARR with his current output. I think his recent Hindi works have far superior lyrics than heard in other works.

Guys, how can such brilliant work be average? It is a person's personal judgment whether a work is brilliant. Similarly, it is some other person's personal judgment whether a work is not brilliant, and is mediocre, below average. The depth of compositions and intricate orchestration and arrangements is anything BUT average or below. Even saying above average is a huge understatement. You started with lyrics are said to be bad, then you take a switch to music is good to say that thus, lyrics also have to be good. see for yourself. It is not really logical line of thinking. depth of compositions and intricate orchestration and arrangements is one aspect of the song, and that may be brilliant. Similarly, words/ lyrics are another a different aspect of the song and they may be mediocre/ below average while other aspects of songs are brilliant. One part being great doesn't make an entire song great. One part being wanting doesn't make overall song lacking. For example, in recent times, chak de india's song kuch kariye had such lovely, heart touching, earthly lyrics by an unknown Jaideep Sahni that would do even a Gulzar or Ghalib or Meer proud, but the music, was just ok, went too fast to let people absorb the lyrics, and the khichdi of loud in comparison chak de India refrain, and female chorus, backgroun just killed/ murdered/spoiled the beauty of the mukhda/ stanza portion of lyrics. This song should be taught in class room as the perfect case how to kill great lyrics. Similarly, Taare Zameen Par, had excellent hearth touching lyrics in dekho inhein hain os ki boondein, tune, music also good, still the song went a tad slow, too soft, introvert, subdued that it didn't get the prominence it could have deserved. Maa of the same movie were too emotional in lyrics, music and singing that it deserve to not get popular, irrespective of award it fetched for the singer. Again, all these are my personal judgment. ARR's Zindagi of Yuvraj has everything great, music, lyrics, whatever else. However, Ghajini's Kaise mujhe though we all like that a lot, now I think that that song is lacking something that I can't pinpoint really. may be, it went a tad too loud, sort of a declaration for a emotional song that should have been introspective - a la zindagi. But, other songs of ghajini -- and I am not speaking of latto and bachchoo which were intentionally kept cheap, had poor lyrics. The most popular guzarish had lyrics that a 10th standard child poet might write, just putting rhyming words matching scale - no thought, no concept, no inner beauty, no content - that was wordsmithing, words being fitted to give the shape of a song like a menial worker putting physical things to fit in a shape. Even then it got popular. Coming to lyrics of ballooo, blooo, ullooo, falloo, there are good urdu words put at places, that had not earlier been used much in ARR songs, so they sound good. But that is it and that is all. There is not much depth vibrating through entire song. These are just individual separate pieces that are good lyrics, but none of the entire song is a single whole entity having a life of its own, no single thought or line of thought peeking from the entire songs. It is a general feeling that ARR is quite confident (though I think too proud would have explained it better but that would hurt several of you) about his musical instincts and creativity, and I concede that rightly so, but that makes him ignore lyrics intentionally. Seems as if he considers lyrics are necessary evil and he is compromising the greatness of his music by putting lyrics in it. Sometimes he gets good poets so good lyrics come up but not as a rule of ARR songs, just because of the individual presence of a good lyrics writer who is not ready to compromise. Seems ARR's standard of lyrics is as low as jurrasic park mein sundar se jode rap music gaaye jam ke or patti rap or latka jhatka or telephone dhun mein hansne wali sort of cheapness presented in the name of lyrics. Again, all these are my personal judgment. Blue lyrics are better than Ghajini's, but still writer is appeaing as novice who might have good potential in future, but is a kid learning and experimenting at present. Again, all these are my personal judgment. Coming to music, I have been

Rahman, wants to counter recent attacks on Indian students in Sydney and Melbourne with a free concert during the Sydney Festival in January. ''Considering the recent hassles that have created a bad vibe I thought this concert would be a statement of peace,'' he told the *Herald* yesterday. Rahman said he hoped to deepen the connection between India and Australia. ''I hope it will do what ever it can to reunite culturally and spiritually,'' he said. Festival organisers said Rahman suggested a free concert as a demonstration of cultural diplomacy and a gesture of goodwill. It will be held at Parramatta Park on Saturday, January 16. ''This show is very important to me,'' said Rahman, who won two Academy Awards for composing the soundtrack for the hit movie *Slumdog Millionaire*. ''I hope it creates a bridge of understanding and love.'' A series of attacks on Indians studying in Australia over the past two months has received widespread media coverage in India and damaged Australia's reputation as a safe destination for students. ''As a musician I believe in peace and I believe in the good nature of people, so I feel that it was one of my duties to come and perform in what ever way I could help building a bridge between both countries,'' Rahman said. He hopes the concert will help break down cultural misunderstandings and boost the morale of tens of thousands of Indians studying in Australia. Rahman, 43, is a superstar in India, where film and pop music are one. His film scores and soundtracks have achieved sales of more than 300 million, making him one of the best-selling recording artists in the world. Rahman has won 13 Filmfare Awards, four National Film Awards, a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe for*Slumdog Millionaire*. A *Time* magazine critic dubbed him the ''the Mozart of Madras''. The film's anthem, *Jai Ho*, became an international hit and Rahman promised fans to expect songs from the movie at the Sydney concert. Rahman's friend, the Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, choreographed Rahman's performance of *Jai Ho*at this year's Oscar ceremony. The song was used by the Congress Party as part of its triumphant re-election campaign in May. Rahman has fond memories of playing to packed crowds in Sydney and Melbourne in 2005. ''They were probably some of the best concerts we have ever done,'' he said. ''I want to re-create that in Australia this time.'' The Premier, Nathan Rees, congratulated Rahman for ''his leadership and goodwill'' in offering to perform at the free concert. ''We all look forward to having him here next year.'' http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/music/slumdog-composer-reaches-out/2009/08/10/1249756256655.html -- regards, Vithur -- “ Meeting the deadlines is not good enough, beating the deadlines is my target.

The Wandering Souls is a band formed in 2003 formed by a bunch of musicians and is the only band to have performed with A R Rahman at his LIVE concerts such as the ‘Jai Ho’ concert. Rahmania is an attempt to bring this genius out of the listeners hearts and connect with him through his music. This is the only exclusive show, which presents a compilation of his songs, seldom attempted by anyone much because of his complex orchestration and offbeat type of music. A journey through the life, philosophy and music of A R Rahman. This show, first time in PCMC area is brought to you by Imagination Events.

We sorely missd many singers as SPB,Sujatha,Sreeni,Sukhi..atleast they shd hv called Unnimenon or Jeychandran 2 perform in Kerela. Song selection was good...though many more Tamil songs cud hv been taken. as far as the technical spect goes... I totally agree..Shridhar's loss wud be felt till a long time! We hpnd to meet KJ.Singh on our flight bk 2 Mum...the monitor /feedbk system hd tripped just b4 they wer starting...thats the reason of the delay.He told ARR it wud take sum time 4 the sound to settle..so there was a lot of booming...also he said that ideally 4 such a huge stadium the sound crew shd hv been loacted almost 100-110 feet away frm the stage..this was just 85-90 feet..so they cud not get a proper feedbk.Thats the reson the gallery ppl wer not able 2 hear the sound clearly...KJ was very keen 2 get the feedbk frm us he said all this wud be rectified by the nxt concert!Insha allah!!! Overall..a unique experience..memorable! swaps --- On *Tue, 5/5/09, kishore parayath kishore.paray...@gmail.com* wrote: From: kishore parayath kishore.paray...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [arr] Re: Plus'es Minus'es of the Calicut concert - My thoughts To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, May 5, 2009, 4:34 PM This is the FIRST concert without H.Sridhar...

[arr] JA's BGMs and Movie - opinions
Friends, Before I watched JA, I was not quite sure if it would live up to the BGMs of Lagaan and Swades. However after watching the movie, the BGMs and Man Mohana had a haunting effect and would always reverberate in my mind. I have to say this is another classic ARR-AG combo movie. My music picks in JA are, 1. Man Mohana - this is my favorite composition in the whole album, it has the amazing orchestration and music that goes with the vocals. Awesome. I loved it just like I liked 'Saawariya' from Swades, where it forms the part of the narrative and there is great orchestration in the interludes. 2. Akbar agrees to conditions - Classical music with chorus 3. Akbar goes to Amer - Classical music with chorus 4. Akbar with the food - This has that haunting effect 5. India Intro - with Amitabh's narration - In the Lagaan mould 6. Akbar informs his ministers to inform Bharmal that he agrees to marry Jodhaa, this scene is where he is at Khwaja's darga. The Khwaja mere Khwaja instrumental with Oboe instrument, included in the album is another classic. Scenes I liked, 1. Khwaja mere Khwaja 2. In lamahon ke daaman mein 3. Akbar with the food 4. Confrontation with Bairam khan 5. Akbar with the Elephant 6. Jodhaa and calligraphy 7. Akbar enters Amer and identifies Jodhaa as per the tradition There are many more. But the whole cinematic experience was none like any other. I have been a big fan of AG since Lagaan days, now he has reconfirmed the fact that he is one of the Ace and the most talented directors of our country today. As always ARR takes us to the transcendental musical experience when he teams up with AG. God Bless ARR. -V
