[arr] Anwar, Lamhaa Music creator : Mithoon's favourite ....
http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/30mithoon.htm http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/30mithoon.htm http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/30mithoon.htm *So many songs are being lifted. What do you feel about that?* For *Woh Lamhe* and *Aadat*, Mukesh Bhatt bought the rights and I got the credit for only recreating them, which clearly means I was not involved in any controversy. The composer was given his due. As far as lifting tunes is concerned, it is a personal thing. For me, it is more important to be honest and sincere to my own self and expression. I listen to other music and get ideas. I am a big fan of Quincy Jones [ Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=quincy+jones ], John Williams, James Horner [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=james+horner], Haynes Demour, MM Kreem and AR Rahman [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=ar+rahman ]. We should learn from them and use our own expression. If I cannot relate to my work, I don't expect anyone else to. I won't lift -- I can say that. *Which composer do you like the most?* My father is my idol. Besides him, I am fond of Viju Shah and A R Rahman's [ Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=a+r+rahman ] music. http://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/30mithoon.htm Among the remixes and rip-offs doing the rounds in Bollywood, there are a few which stand out. The adaptation of*Woh Lamhe [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=woh+lamhe ]* and *Aadat* by 22-year-old *Mithoon Sharma* provide one such example. The songs from a couple of years ago are still a rage. http://ads.rediff.com/5c/inmoviesA.rediff.com/movies-article.htm/2011618827/x15/default/empty.gif/334f4e50696b7943494e594141583433 He followed these up with his soulful compositions for *Anwar *and *Tere Bin *for* Bas Ek Pal [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=bas+ek+pal ]*. Though the former failed to impress moviegoers, the two songs Mithoon did in the soundtrack -- *Maula mere* and *Toh se naina lage*-- left an indomitable mark. Now, after signing a deal with T-Series, the talented composer has made his first independent soundtrack for *The Train*. The reviewshttp://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/may/21train.htm speak for themselves. In an interview with *Patcy N*, Mithoon relives his way to rising stardom. Excerpts: *What was the briefing for The Train?* I sat with the directors of the movie, Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala, who read out the script to me. I found the story very beautiful and wanted the music to compliment it. Every song had to have purpose -- like the song *Woh Ajnabee [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=ajnabee ]*, which I made from the story. In the story, Emraan and his wife Sayali Bhagat [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=sayali+bhagat ] are going through a rough patch in their marriage, and that's when he finds peace and love with a stranger (Geeta Basra [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=geeta+basra ]). Hence, *Woh Ajnabee*. *What genre does the music of The Train belongs to?* I am quite bad at labeling music in any genre. I have no set rules. I just see to it that the music is inspired from the film. For example, for *Anwar* I wanted central Indian music, and for *Bas Ek Pal* urban. *You've sung for The Train. Have you always been into singing?* It was never decided that I would sing any song for *The Train*. I was ready with the music for *Woh Ajnabee* and was in search of a singer when Emraan started growing his hair for *Awarapan*. So we had to shoot the song before he grew his hair -- to keep the continuity. I then sang the song and got it shot earlier. *Why not Atif, your favourite singer?* There were two reasons I didn't take Atif. Firstly, I didn't think any song would suit his voice and secondly, when I knew T-series was in the picture, I couldn't ask Atif because he has a contract with Tips. *How was it working with Shyam Bajaj [ Imageshttp://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=bajaj ]? * Shyam Bajaj's movies have great music. He gives creative space to the composer and never interferes. After my father, the person I would take guidance from is him. *What sort of response are you getting for The Train?* The response is universal -- they all like it. I have put in a lot of effort in this first complete album of mine. I have tried to give a varied sound as possible and so far the response has been good. Recently, I had gone to Dubai [ Images http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=dubai ] for the promotion of *The Train* and I was happy to know that my music topped the charts there. *Woh Ajnabee*, especially, is topping the charts over there. *What made you get into music?* My family has been in this field -- I belong to the third generation. My grandfather, Pandit Ramprasad Sharma, is a renowned music teacher. He taught nearly 5000 pupils.

Some of these songs did become quite popular and they are catchy, but for me, they represented a skippable track in the soundtrack. With Blue, I was quite afraid prior that there would be another Papu or Shano in the mix, a track that I would tap my foot to, but not really find much else to latch onto, hence another skipper. However, when I heard tracks like Chiggy, Aaj Dil, and especially Fiqrana, I was pleasantly surprised that ARR hit the right combo for me this time. About Fiqrana, for me, it's one of ARR's strongest dance/groove oriented tracks ever. It's got everything that I enjoy about tracks like these.incredible groove rhythm, sweet sound effects, seamless transitions, and to me most importantly, good melody and good chords. The chords and melody in this song really take it to another level IMO. When I hear this song, I get the same good feeling that I get when I hear Chaiya Chaiya. I'm not saying it's as good of a song as Chaiya, but the same elements are there to make for an incredibly enjoyable listening experience. Fiqrana totally energizes me, gets me motivated, pumps me up, but also has endearing melodic hooks which linger on much after in my mind. To me, that's keyit's not just another ordinary dance trackthe song has got some soul and depth too. Yaaa...Fiqrana! TOTALLY ROCKS! -- best regrards Logesh A

The instrument has a response time of 1.33 mshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond .[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(instrument)#cite_note-HakenAudio-1 Sensors under the playing surface respond to finger position and pressure in three dimensions and provide pitch resolution of one cent (one one-hundredth of a semitone) along the length of the scale (the X dimension), allowing essentially continuous pitch control for portamentohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portamento effects and notes that aren't on the chromatic scalehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_scale, and allowing for the application of vibratoshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato or pitch bends to a note. While pitch bend and vibrato are standard features on most MIDI keyboards, sliding between half steps, as permitted by the Continuum, is not. A software rounding feature enables pitch to be quantized to the notes of a traditional equal-tempered scalehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament , just scale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_intonation or other scale to facilitate in-tune performance, with the amount and duration of the rounding controllable in real time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ContinuumAxes2.jpghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ContinuumAxes2.jpg An illustration of the Continuum Fingerboard's axes. The Continuum also provides two additional parameters for the sound: it is able to transmit the finger pressure on the board as a MIDI value, as well as the finger's vertical position on the key. These parameters can be used to enrich the sound even more, and are independently programmable. For example, a standard configuration is where position on the X-Axis (lengthwise) on the instrument corresponds to pitch, position on the Y-Axis (widthwise) corresponds to atimbre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbre shift, and position on the Z-Axis (vertically) corresponds to a change in amplitudehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness.

Jagjit is not singing any film songs currently because he feels there is a lack of taste on the part of today's filmmakers and music directors. They don't know what ghazals are all about and they lack good taste in music. What does AR Rahman know about ghazals? He will never use a ghazal in his films. All they do is pick up tunes from the West, he says. He criticises contemporary music directors for ruining the Indianness of sound. Earlier, in the 60s and 70s, 90% of the music was based on the ghazal. Today, there's no poetry phrasing, it's all Western and the language is tapori -- a mix of English and Hindi. What kind of lyrics are Pappu can't dancehttp://movies.indiainfo.com/2009/01/28/0901280633_gazals.html# saala? Yet the popularity of the form endures. He says, My audience has only grown over the years. I always improvise and add variations to my old songs on stage. Every ghazal is re-born on that day. Interestingly, Jagjit only performs for a cause. On January 29, at the DNA and Rotary concert, he will perform to provide midday meals for children. He says, I never give dates to concerts which are just money-making measures. I want to give back to the society. So I give my dates only to charity concerts. -- -A http://viewsnmuse.blogspot.com -- -A http://viewsnmuse.blogspot.com -- best regrards Logesh A

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!! -- best regrards Logesh A

Rahman on the Sounds of `Slumdog Millionaire' and Being M.I.A.'s Idol Photo: Getty Images In India, fans love A.R. Rahman almost as we love David Archuleta — and he's reportedly sold a few more albums: 100 million records and 200 million cassettes. A huge pop star in South Asia, he's famous for scoring Indian classics like Roja and Lagaan (among the dozens of other films) — and he's recently begun to cross over into Hollywood with Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Bombay Dreams. We spoke with him about his Slumdog Millionaire score — which Fox Searchlight is pushing for an Oscar — and his collaboration with M.I.A. How'd you hook up with Danny Boyle? I literally had to leave another film to do this. When Danny met me, he said, I've heard a lot of your stuff' and he talked about it. That's about the first time I've heard a compliment from a Western director, apart from Andrew Webber. He's a good human being. Was it different working with him than a Bollywood director? Usually, it's very different. Danny used my stuff in a very different way. I really loved the film, so I would compose pieces to fit the images, so I would do a lot of templates. With this, there's not many cues in the film. Usually a big film has 130 cues. This had just seventeen or eighteen: the end credits, beginning credits, that stuff. What were you going for? A lot of things. I had to do stuff from modern India, eighties Hindi film soundtracks, mixing modern India and the old India. What did Boyle suggest? He wanted something very pulse-y. He said he hated sentiment, hated cello. No cellos! He said, Never put a cello in my film — he was funny. I worked fast, like him. It took two months of planning, two weeks of completing. Usually it takes six months with the musical films I'm doing in India. The soundtrack really drives the film. That seems like something Boyle has in common with Bollywood. Do you think so? What's good about [Boyle] is that he likes how Indian films mix music. You push it and it comes out. We wanted it edgy, upfront. He said every piece of music was going to be a piece by itself. Normally some directors suppress music — they always want the effects to be loud and the music to be softer. Danny wanted it loud. And you worked with M.I.A. on a new track. We met before but never worked before. M.I.A., she's a real powerhouse. Somebody played me her CD and I thought, Who's this girl? She came here and knew all my work, had followed my work for ages. I said Cut the crap, this my idol crap. You have to teach me. We started working in India, then we e-mailed the track back and forth. She did the vocals in England. I did the rest in India. How does the film's Mumbai compare to the real thing? For me, it's not about India at all. It's about human emotion, how we suppress so much and it all comes out. It's a human film, not about India at all. The soundtrack isn't about India or Indian culture. The story could happen anywhere: China, Brazil, anywhere.

Re: [arr] Arr Fans - Rajni Fans - Balancing problem - why ?
well said , Sarathy , I feel it is better to leave Rahman experiment , and come out with his own creative work rather than to force him on to a genre of music composition. I believe only Rahman or Deva(Only for Rajni movies) cud do justice to his movies with music, Rajni had excellent music for his films in the past like Padayapa, Muthu and Basha etc ... My personal opinion is that Best two songs from Rahman to Rajni are 1.Oruvan oruvan mudhalali, Initial orchestration is evergreen, I just love it from my heart. 2.Vetrikodi kattu ..Excellent western and folk mix , no one except rahman can do this magic, this one is so philosophical(Typical words for Rajni), so western kind of new remix trend in indian music.

Rajni sir do not want to risk his image with young grand sounds created by Arr. And arr is more sophisticated with his ideas he has to come down bit to create rajni tunes not arr tunes. Whenever rajni works in a movie the trend continues in music right from 1980s. From 90s music in his movies reflect it is also rajni's choice to have those tunes not just dir. prod. choice. One of the reasons, majority of his fans are seniors from good old days of rajni right from 1980s. I really doubt whether this present younger generation how far they can enjoy rajni's taste of music is what reflected thro rahman fans who r not happy with such tunes or if it is rajni fans who r not happy then they all seniors to them rahmans sophisticated approach or experiment is too much to go gaga.

Re: [arr] Humble request to stop comments on SHIVAJI + Do respect ppl...
Hi Nithin, It is good job u did , I was totally disappointed when I saw some comments made jus against Rahman without any valid reason, these guys I believe are not true music fans , for that matter they may hate Rahman , but one can never hate his music , else it wud be like punishing oneself or going dumb , without praising the melody. I too accept that rahman has given bad albums, but i believe those are just 5 % of his entire career , can you name a person who has delivered 100 %, every human makes mistakes but when he on his excellence , no one can beat him in those technology and the unique sounds that he creates. I am not jus a fan of Rahman , but a true music lover too, i admire other songs too, but on Rahman , i believe he is one step more than any Indian music directors. Well you cannot keep the truth hidden for long, My dream was that Guru be all good and pleasant to hear rather than , the usual stuff going around in the hindi music, and he kept that, it was of different genre, I think there many music directors who are good in different stuffs , but for Rahman he knows that just one narrow regional is not enough as he expores and explores and I simply admire the wide range of genre he has created. If you love good music you ought to love what his piano creates. everything else is just illusion. for everything time will answer.

I have two kids. I don't have anyone else. Please help me*. If there is one language common across the world it's the language of suffering and tears - be it a remote village in Somalia or a hip center of America. That's one reason why Bharatbala, the producer of this music video, chose to shoot *Pray For Me Brother* amidst the skyscrapers of Los Angeles, rather than a war ravaged African village. A.R. Rahman's *Pray For me Brother* is an initiative by the A.R. Rahman Foundation to collect funds for the UN Millennium Development Program aimed at eradicating poverty by the year 2015. Rahman spins his magic once again with a music and lyrics that is sure to have a global appeal. Add the video to the song, and you get a real treat to your soul - all for a noble cause. As is always the case with Rahman, the music grows on you. The video for the song has been shot in Los Angeles, with towering skyscrapers at one side showing the great economic strides the world has made and beggars taking street corners on the other - symbolizing the idea that suffering is universal, irrespective of which part of the world you live in. The video is filled with symbolism and emotions. Human suffering has no color. And it is only pertinent that the entire video symbolizing human suffering be shot in Black and White. Los Angeles being the location, the video has a Krumper dancing through the rap part of the song. Krumpinghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krumpingis a form of dance that originated in the African-American community of South Central Los Angeles - a rather sinister and aggressive dance form, intended as an expression of anger or a release of pent-up emotion through violent, exaggerated, and dramatic moves. (Definition Source: Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krumping .) The music has a mix of traditional western and rap. And the very composition is intended at reaching out to a global audience, the universal message being - Are you searching for a reason to be kind... and binding this message with another universal emotion of Prayer. Rahman's melancholic voice and Blaaze's rap couldn't have merged better. To enable access to the video across all media including mobiles and PDAs, the entire video has been shot in Vertical-Cinemascope, rather than the usual Horizontal picture. At times it is a pain to your eyes watching a * vertical* video, given that most of the audience would actually be watching it on television, rather than their mobile phones. The DVD contains the song Pray For Me Brother and The Making of Pray For Me Brother featuring A.R. Rahman, Bharatbala and Blaaze taking us through the conceptualization of the album, purpose and their experiences while making the music and shooting the video. Given the non- commercial nature of the album and the cause behind it, it is a must-have for anyone who appreciates good music. -- Now that's room service!

I went for the Saarang Popular Nite, featuring Sukwinder singh on Friday , the last song was Chaiya chaiya , he stated that his career actually started in chennai and he thanked Rahman for such a wonderful song Kids were asked to dance on the stage , that was so nice . there were around 10,000 people at the OAT , and I watched each and everyone dance to their ecstasy for this song. man the crowd went mad a for this song .so much enthu really Rahman rocks he is now into smooth melody and he will deff return back to hip hop pop and rock us once again in his forth coming albums.

Hi , I believe the song once again he breaks the traditional way of composing music .. it is a great song , here we can see how the keys of piano get mixed in an unusual way(they come and go in pieces though having no pattern) , but very very pleasing to hear i have never heard such a composition till date. I love each and every bit of the song ..and this song should deff be given an excellence award. What a composition it is the sign of creativity ...if you can relate to any art like paintings , sculptures or architecture this song can be said as the creative master piece in music.

[arr] Rahman for social cause
I believe Rahman is on a special reason on this planet ... I just love his journey of life as he takes on . Initially was praised for his rhythm based pop hits ...but as he himself says now he is known for the melodies ...I always listened to those hip hop and so youthful numbers, but now i know the strength lies in the soulful melodies .only those stay for long term..and Rahman i believe has mastered that ... He has always attracted fans for his great piece of music and obtained fame in film industry and now he is not only attracting only people who love music but also people who would like to help others. On their walk of life who would like to feel that they have atleast made a few people happy before they kick the bucket ... I would like to hear more non - film albums for soical cause , i think he is on top of the world when he combines with Bala and Kanika for some great reason. Please Rahman give us some non-film albums. Pray for me brother is really great , the portion where he sings ye yi ye yoo ye yi ye yoo ye yi yeee yi ye yi yoo is soulful . Rahman has always been associated with reasons like patriotism (Vande matram the whole album) social welfare , help the poor (Pray for me brother) , so now he more than just a musician .. not all people get this honor in this cruel world only love can cure all hatred .. I am a very proud fan rahman and this group , and will always support him for all his dreams and vision.. Long live ARR , you make me happy Kind Regards Logesh A -- best regards Logesh A
Re: [arr] Guru - Fails Miserably
The movie is a great inspiratonal, The BGM is definitely good this is my view a true view It is definitey worth my money and am going to watch it again ... not because of Rahman or Manirathnam ..but because it is a great movie and lot's there which i believe has gone unnoticed.

[arr] GURU First bloom
Hi Amigos , I had been waiting for this day for long time ...Had booked the tickets , checking every day when the window will be open for online booking in sathyam ..finally i got the tickets ... Well Guru had created so much hype ... Maniratnam Rajeev menon (after bombay , wonderful camera work) Very own Rahman well i jus wanted to be a film critic for this film ...to observe as any normal crowd wud watch ..( I had to forget that this was one of Mani Rahman combo) had to clear my pre conceptions ... As i went into the sathyam cinema settled down .. then started the song straightly ...mayya mayya good picturization then the crew names started to appear on the screen Guru title comes ... photography , direction lyrics .. then Music ...Suddenly there was loud noises and whizzles, it was Rahman who made the crowd to go wild. The movie gets going with the tint of old films , or rather different look which is really nice work by rajeevmenon long time since we see some good camera work .. beautiful locations ..man i wud watch the film again for the tint and old mumbai locations .. story is simple , though very powerful great message from manirathnam..or may be same as Abdul kalam go for ur dreams, or what ur heart says rather following the foot steps of the normal crowd ... I dont want to break the story line here , left for u guys to check it , dont read the reviews watch for ur self u will feel better watching the movie , a motivational movie ..says when you follow ur dreams , u wud face ups and downs in life but wait till the darkness pass ...there you go , you will see your dream come true ... BGM is great , i really like the bgms where gurukanth desai , gets up and start waliking with confidence now music is the part which conveys what he is up to a better life waiting ... music is apt ...dosent require those doom machale kinda songs ...need decent music which can keep the movie alive and bring the emotions, I believe rahman has done it aptly , i want to wait to see other praise for the sound of music ... once again a great movie from mani's team . this is not a streotyped movie ... a film for guys who demand a movie of great standards Good work Mani , rahman, Rajeev ..team I wud say my money was worth it .

[arr] Rahman in Saarang 2007 ???
Check this out : read the last statement http://www.saarang.org/07/Pro-Shows/This+Year Pro Shows 2007 Global Rhythms Global Rhythms has been in the news lately with several collaborative exercises with AR Rahman, most recently at the Hollywood Bowl in July 2006. Global Rhythms is a combination of traditional and non-traditional music from all over the world. A concept conceived by Miami Alumnus Srinivas Krishnan in close collaboration with Pamela Fox, Pat Hernly and Jason Koontz in the year 1996, the project aims to integrate sounds from all over the world and create music that utilizes an eclectic blend of Middle Eastern, Caribbean, Indian, African, Brazilian, Latin, Australian, and Western instrumentation and their team has been invited as a result to Cornell, MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, the Vatican, Hollywood Bowl to name a few. There are over 140 members within Global Rhythms today and what makes them unique is their ability to embrace every kind of music within their repertoire. This ensemble has performed in concert with over 50 guest artists from all over the world including Grammy winners Horacio Hernandez, Eguie Castrillo, and Glen Velez, mridangam vidwan Sri Umayalpuram Sivaraman from India, and over a year ago, they combined with Ghatam Karthick, Embar Kannan, Poongulam Subramaniam and Mandolin U.P. Raju (part of Heartbeat Ensemble). Global Rhythms benefits from the experiences of music professors Ethan Sperry and Roger Davis, its co-directors. Davis' experiences lie in the bass guitar and musical arrangements while Sperry specializes in vocals. The talent these instructors possess echoes in the unique and beautiful sound Global Rhythms plays for its audiences. But what makes Global Rhythms so unique is that they can give a whole one hour show focusing entirely on percussion or an hour show focusing on voice (they have a 100 piece choir). Earlier in August 2006, the US Consulate had honored AR Rahman and Srinivas Krishnan for their collaborative work through Global Rhythms over four years. Rahman's contribution is significant because it has allowed for the members of Global Rhythms to adventure and explore every kind of music and each show with Rahman has opened new doors for over 350 members of Global Rhythms over the four years. On January 25, 2007, IIT MADRAS will feature Global Rhythms that will feature a total of 18 artists who will present a whole range of music, catering to the needs of an Indian Audience. The concert will highlight percussion instruments and will aim at sowing a new seed of world music in Chennai. Five of the band members including Patrick Hernly, Jeff Queen, TJ Hartman and James Sparling were recently featured live in concert with AR Rahman and Sivamani in Mumbai over New Years Eve and their skills in a range of percussion traditions will certainly make for an attractive concert more so because they are now combining with some of the best artists from India that evening including Ghatam Karthick's team. The oboe, saxophone and the flute that are woodwind instruments will also be integral to the show and feature Carrie Hernly, Leigh Ann Woodard and Seetha Shivaswamy. Cleve Johnson who is a scholar in Carnatic Music will also be part of this team on the keyboard and a dance trio team of Suzanne Maier, Melissa Jungles and Tami Robinson will be part of a class act that will end the show that evening with music of Chennai's very own AR Rahman. -- best regrards Logesh A

But when the contributions soared past anything I had hoped for, I felt it was only fair that it be handed over in person. And so, I set out to Chennai on Saturday morning not knowing if I would actually be able to meet him. Though by now, we have seen enough evidence of his simplicity I imagined being stopped by security guards even before I could let him know, all of which was completely unwarranted. Thanks to the never-say-no graciousness of ARR and Vijay's entreaties, I had the good fortune of being your representative at the birthday celebrations of the person whom many of us deify. Far from being met with for a few seconds and summarily dismissed, I was treated with the same affection, care and love by everyone at his home and studio as were many of the key personalities of the industry who made their way to his abode to greet him in person. I made my way to his home with some navigational aid from Vijay to only find a bunch of busy workers setting up the place in preparation for lunch. When I said that I had to meet ARR Sir, I was asked to wait in the first floor of the studio which is the building right in front of his home. I made my way there to find many people doing the same, some of them being Mr. Srinivasa Krishnan of Global Rhythms, Sridhar Subramaniam of Sony BMG, Naresh Iyer, executives from WorldSpace and Saregama and producers from the Tamil industry whom I did not recognize. I could see gifts of flowers from a host of people from the industry - Subhash Ghai, Udit and Deepa Narayan, Rajkumar Santoshi, Bharat and Kanika, Chinmayee, Radio Mirchi, Radio City were some names that I managed to spot amidst the sea of bouquets in the studio. ARR's right hand men Noell James, Sivakumar, Swamidorai, Faiz and H. Sridhar were also in attendance. We were soon joined by ARR's mother, daughters, son, wife and sisters and others in the family. I soon realized that simplicity and humility runs through every brick and body in his home and studio. ARR still hadn't turned up and his mother insisted that we must have lunch and we were ushered back into his home where ARR joined us. Soon director Shankar and family, Kathir, Krishna (of SOK), Praveenkanth made their way in. After lunch we made our back to the studio, were ARR took us to a large studio room on the 2nd floor and screened the video of Pray For Me Brother. I am still searching for words to describe the multiple exhilarating emotions that passed through me as I watched the video. Nothing we have heard so far in the live performances truly captures the brilliance of the recorded song. Who else, but ARR, could have an Indian classical harmony accompanying a rap segment? Following this, both ARR and his son Ameen, who also celebrates his birthday on the same day, cut the cake jointly. While his son wanted to cut his special 'Spiderman' shaped cake, ARR decided his simpler cake was more appropriate :-) Coming to the crux of my visit, it was the time after the birthday cake was distributed and everyone was leisurely seated around the studio that I chose to hand the cheque over to ARR. I wish I could say, 'Did we spring a surprise on ARR or what!' But ARR instead sprang a surprise on me! He looked visibly moved and said 'I have been telling these folks what you guys have been doing.' I went, Huh? And his response was, 'I was on the group last night and saw all these messages about a collection drive. You guys are increasing my responsibilities now'. I quickly assured him that he could count on our support in anything that he wanted to do. he

I have heard this piece , in an song by Safri duo (Drummers) On 12/2/06, vel Narayanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The CD cover credits Ranjit Barot for additional programming for the track in question. So it might be Ranjit, or even Rahman himself or probably a loop. After all the flute piece runs just for a fleeting few seconds ,have we not heard instruments playing in the similar pattern in many songs composed by different composers ... more of using the instruments in the same way, how many hollywood movies we have seen having violin movements in the same pattern. saad sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: because our boss vil take compositions if that is good for his work,but that is not a copycat fani kalyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Really??but why did our boss use that bit?? :( - Original Message From: Dinesh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 1, 2006 4:21:56 PM Subject: [arr] Re: (Muzaffar) Is that Copy or BGM? yes...u might even hear this piece in Anu Malik's Asoka's San Sanana - Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!

Re: [arr] Re: Interview ARR not the superior
Ofcourse All music composers are same before the art of music .. But the truth will never die out ..true music stands out .. and I believe that we arr fans are not narrow minded to only appreciate the music created in the realm of Rahman taste .. we do appreciate other music if it is good ..many such occations ..not just one .. I listen to western music ..and indian pop music .. and I believe you cannot compare people of diffrent genres .. I like Eminem ..Darren Hayes DiDo ..Mettalica ...and many more ..all are good in their own Genre .. and I am really a proud fan of Rahman ..that I some times get Goose bumps hearing his music .even now if i listen to some tracks of Vandamatram i get carried away words cant explain them .. so if anyone is true genious it will really show ..and Arr has always proved it many times .. his music stands out ... And in recent times i have seen him not jus confined to one style ...he has expanded his creativity to other styles too Long live ARR and the world music ...

Question from the Interviewer . Now a days music is branded ARR is the most sought after brand in the country, how do you comment on this, running behind one single person is this the fall of our great musical Heritage? Ans: M.G Radha Krishnan (composer) I know dileep (ARR) when was 5years of old, he is a great and talented composer now. If his music is the most sought after brand in the country, it#8217;s purely b#8217;coz of his talent and there are people to buy and listen his score blind fold. I am afraid how far it will go. But this is not the fall of our musical heritage, In front of MUSIC, ARR, Ilayaraja my self who is at lowest cadre are EQUAL. How far friends you agree to this #8220;all composers are equal in front of MUSIC#8221; Kind regards, HAKKEEM. -- best regrards Logesh A
Re: [arr] hai : atn
Assumptions are the mother of all mistakes Hey Dude ..CAn you wait till the music is heard ..
