Re: [arr] Project Rahman: Completed!
Nice read... i just wondered if you have a s dileep kumar's disco disco? :-) *** --- On Sat, 29/5/10, Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Triply R. cornholiosbungho...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] Project Rahman: Completed! To: arr fans group arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, 29 May, 2010, 5:01 Imagine that you buy a new Rahman album. You get hyper-excited to put the thing into your player and just soak it in. You want to put it on repeat for a 100 times, hear every instrument that is played, hear every note that is played and find everything the album has to offer. That is what I felt like doing when I bought Raavan (and Raavanan). But then I suddenly thought, instead of listening to one album a 100 times, why don't I listen to a 100 different Rahman albums once? And that set me off to go back to the beginning and revisit every Rahman album! To do this, I set some criteria: 1. Only original albums in their original languages (Yodha, not Asokan. Pudhiya Mugam, not Padmavyuham). 2. Original songs on dubbed/ re-used albums (extra song from Sapnay, extra songs in Saathiya, Star, Alli Arjuna, Nayak etc.) 3. Unreleased songs available in other places (Hyderabad Airport theme song, O Bosnia, We Can Make it Better, etc.) 4. Non-film albums (Vande Mataram, Jana Gana Mana, Pray For Me Brother, new song in Connections etc.) 5. Miscellaneous singles (Raga's Dance by Venessa Mae, Marhaba Mustapha etc.) 6. All available soundtracks of foreign projects (Bombay Dreams, Warriors of Heaven and Earth, The Lord of the Rings) and non-available ones, if possible (Provoked and The Passage) 6. Only A R Rahman albums, no Dileep Kumar albums (so no Deen Isai Maalai, Fantasy/ Andhmaalai, Set Me Free, Colours) With these rules, I dug up all my CDs of Rahman and put them into iTunes. Next, I dug up the backups I had made of my cassettes onto CDs, since there are quite a few early albums I don't have on CD as I couldn't afford to buy them back then. I put all of them onto iTunes as well. That gave me almost the complete Rahman discography on iTunes (the one song I really was missing was Zindagi Se Pyar Karo, since I didn't find my video cassette recording of the broadcast). I then transferred these songs onto my iPhone and started my journey... I must say that it was absolutely incredible. I found old lost gems (Uzhavan) again, found that I enjoyed some albums more now than before (Vandicholai Chinarasu, Gang Master), found that I still didn't like all the songs on some albums (Pudhiya Mannargal, Tenali, Super Police), found the classics as great as ever (Roja, Thiruda Thiruda, Duet, Bombay, Iruvar, Kandukondein Kandukondein, En Swaasa Kaatrey), still loved the albums I was always partial to (Love Birds, Mr. Romeo, Kaadal Desam, Indira), still found albums that were flawed (Paarthale Paravasam), still wished some albums had more justice done to them (Kaadal Virus, Blue) still found some albums over-produced (Godfather, Anbae Aaruyire)... It took me 7 days to finish my journey, listening at over 100 songs a day! The last day was capped with listening to Raavan and Raavanan, followed by the Tamil anthem. Raavan sounded so much like a natural progression in the journey. I was so glad that I had done this... gave me a sense of achievement, even though it was a vicarious pleasure! I really wish Rahman had the time to take the journey as well. It would be great if he could revisit all his music when he writes his autobiography. He really needs to look back at those times when Shahul Hameed (RIP) brought a nice rustic touch to his albums and when Chitra was flawless in every outing with him... he needs to go back and see how versatile he always was and how his albums were so special... go there and back again... he made classics then and he is still making classics now. It's amazing how his music changed and yet excelled. It's also amazing to discover how my taste has changed, but how some things never change, like my love for his music. If there is one thing I really have to complain about, it is the lack of the rustic, folk albums now. There was a time when I felt that the ARR-Bharathiraja combination was the best one, with Kizhakku Cheemayile, Karuthamma, Andhimantaarai and Taj Mahal. I felt that the combo was slightly tarnished with Kangalal Khaidu Sei. It's a pity they didn't work together after that. But that is just a small complaint. The rustic is back with a twist in Raavan and Rahman is still making the most interesting music in India. Maybe another 10 albums later, I will take the journey again. In the meantime, it's time for me to listen to Raavan a 100 times. I am lagging behind everybody on this group right now, so time to catch up!

I got my first drum set in Singapore in 1979. I was 19 at that time. I thought I was flying; the feeling of happiness was so great that I still can't think of the right words to express it. It was total joy! Other than drums, you also play the kanjira and damru... even a plastic bottle. What constitutes your unusual instruments? Sound is everywhere. It's in a thali, water cans, everything around us-- be it natural or manmade. You can create music out of many different things. I always wanted to be different. I may pick up music from the sound of a dishwasher, chirping birds, the sea waves, or the trotting of a horse. I record them in my mind and later experiment with them in my music. I think I was first attracted to music when I was three years old. It was just in me, I guess. And as I grew up, I studied and read about it and that's how I became a drummer. I love music more than my life! What is it like to work with A R Rahman? It was just fun working with AR Rahman. We used to enjoy creating music that's unexplored and experiment with instruments. I admire him for his skill as a music connoisseur and composer. Yes, Rahman is a born genius. Is learning classical music important to get to the next level? Yes, it is necessary and important. Classical music has a secret. It opens the channels to obtain spiritual energy. The lives of the musicians add to the intrigue. There's always been this notion that drummers in a band are underplayed. Would you agree? No, drummers were never underplayed. You have to feel the music when you are in the band and follow the rhythm according to it. Each drummer has his/her own identity. I can say Zakir bhai is the messenger of rhythm. Beat boxing is slowly gaining grounds in India. Can it ever replace the magic that a real drum creates? Lots of new things come. Some phase out, some stay. Drums have always been the carriers of rhythm. Any composer you'd really love to work with? Yeah, I would really like to work with Sting. In India, I have worked with everybody. Who are your inspirations? My father S M Anandan, Trilok Gurtu, Noel Grant and Billy Cobham. Are you working on any album now? I am considering it. Hopefully, it will be out in 2010. Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan and you, come together in a unique concert. Will there be a jugalbandi? Jugalbandis are something that we love. We have done it earlier as well. Yes, we will be doing it this year too. How did the name, Heartbeats, come about? You see, the first beat that man hears is the heartbeat. Hence, the name Heartbeats. And of course, the whole group plays from the heart. QWould you say you and Rahman are similar in the many ways you create music out of almost anything? AEvery man has his own genes, his own talent, his own understanding and creativity. Likewise Rahman cannot be Siva and Siva cannot be Rahman. Zakir bhai is Zakir bhai. For instance, I can eat green chillies but A R Rahman cannot. Music is everywhere but the soul is different.

Yup! It’s an unending downpour of appreciations our Madras Mozart is surmounted with. Recently, A.R. Rahman was honored by his beloved mentors and versatile musicians for accomplishing his feat of global recognition. Now, the Tamil film industry’s filmmakers, producers inclusive of each and every technician have planned out for a gala celebration of honoring Rahman. It has been stated that the grand occasion will be witnessed at Nehru Stadium on March 28. The function will not only see just Tamil film personalities, but a whole lot of known faces from Bollywood and beyond. The former President APJ Abdul Kalam will be gracing the occasion as the chief guest. As the time is for the Lok Sabha Elections is closing in, the film unit members are sure on not inviting any politicians as the dais may accidentally turn into a podium of indirect propaganda. A very appropriate decision indeed! http://www.indiagli tz.com/channels/ tamil/article/ 45408.html

He swept all the awards, Including a golden globe..being a first Indian to do so..Which I had only dreamt off...Beating the Westerners in there own land and in there own game. 2. He has played a major role in the success of SdM with his superb musical score.. 3. SdM with a music composed by Rahman is an oscar favourite and has got 10 Nominations. .I repeat 10 Nominations. .We all get excited if an bollywood movie with Rahman's music sweeps the national awards, irrespective of he wins for music or not,,,Now when its international recognition for the movie as a whole, I feel proud of rahman and thank god for it. 4. Indian media has atlast woken up to what Rahman is..even if its late, enough media coverage has already been given...People discussing his music on prime time, some debating wether is he India's greatest and People across the nation have already leaped praises on rahman..Which wouldnt have had happened without SdM. 5. Now the west also knows about Rahman, More of his works would be explored...Which I am sure without SdM wouldnt have happened atleast in Immediate future. And to end it all, Oscar is just another award and SdM has already opened many doors and created necessary impact outside India for Rahman, and I feel we all have been blessed to witness these.

Let's be real about it. The expectations are huge, and many people in the past few weeks are saying that it's almost a given that he will win. Again, IF he loses, it's not going to change my opinion about ARR and it's not going to take away what he has already achieved. I will have to console myself by saying that he is already a Golden Globe and BAFTA winner, which are facts. Let's hope and pray that he wins to make it a sweep!

Following her barnstorming performance at the Grammys last week, organisers are desperate for her to perform at this Sunday's ceremony. So desperate, in fact, that she could perform lying down if she wants to. According to reports today the rapper is keen to fulfill her commitment to perform her Oscar-nominated song from Slumdog Millionaire, Jai Ho, at the awards ceremony. She is said to be trying to find a way to overcome the physical issues of performing so soon after giving birth, including, it's alleged, an appearance by hologram or, failing that, one delivered from a bed live on stage. MIA, real name Maya Arulpragasam, went into labour just hours after performing at the Grammys with Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and T.I, where she marked the occasion by wearing an eye-popping transparent dress over her blooming belly. She blogged earlier this week that her baby boy was the most amazing thing on the planet, and confirmed he was born on Wednesday 11 February after she went into the early stages of labour on the night of her performance (8 February). Now Oscars producer Laurence Mark is said to have offered her a large bed to perform from at the 81st annual Academy Awards later this week, hoping that if being nine months pregnant won't stop her performing then neither will being a new mother. She's eager to perform ... we've said things like 'we're willing to have her enter on a large bed,' Mark is reported to have told the WENN network. We'll make it as easy for her as we can. MIA is nominated for an award in the best original song category for her collaboration with AR Rahman on Jai Ho, which features on the soundtrack to the Danny Boyle film Slumdog Millionaire. According to a BBC interview with Rahman, the Indian composer said that the issue of an MIA performance at the Oscars is the million-dollar question. She wants to. In fact, she said she'll do it with a hologram. She has all these ideas, said Rahman. He added: I don't know how it's going to be possible, though. Having a baby is such an important thing in your life – more important than winning an Oscar. Something tells us MIA will find a way to balance both. http://www.guardian .co.uk/music/ 2009/feb/ 17/mia-oscars- performance- 2009

RE: [arr] ARR Interview on Rediff
Hi Abdul Manaf I have copy pasted below the article from rediff 4 u. N Why we can't ignore A R Rahman Abhilasha Ojha | October 20, 2008 11:31 IST A R Rahman Top Emailed Features • Bollywood stars' sexiest pics! • The Sexiest Women of All Time • The other side of King Khan Have you tried this? • Ask a question • News on your Desktop Advertisements • DVD/VCD - take a pick • Building Construction - click • Advertise ur service here It's difficult to get A R Rahman out of your head. No, you needn't be a die-hard fan, though it's impossible to imagine how anyone with an iota of music sense and a fondness of music can ignore what this music director creates. And if proof of popularity can be gauged by what airs on music channels and radio frequencies, Rahman's body of work is for everyone to hear and see. There's Tuhi re, that haunting melody from Mani Ratnam's Bombay that will invariably figure on a late-night radio programme. The mornings, by that yardstick, will have radio sets blaring with Rahman's latest hit, Pappu can't dance, from first-time director Abbas Tyrewalla's film Jaane Tu [Images] Ya Jaane Na. Also Read: A R Rahman's top compilations So, obviously, there's no ignoring Rahman, I suggest, while a colleague shakes his head unconvincingly: There's no longer that magic in Rahman. He's sounding repetitive. My instant reaction to the comment is to remember Rahman's own reaction to the same comment in a music magazine, Give me an example of how and where I've sounded repetitive. The reporter of that magazine had lost the round to Rahman who incidentally had also mentioned, in the same interview, that every single melody that goes from the music director's studio is precious, with hours of team effort and thought that go to create the songs. On a short trip to Delhi [Images] for endorsing a reality show on bands that has been thought out by music and production company PhatPhish, Rahman agrees to meet us, but not before extracting a promise out of us: Not the usual round of questions, and not too many questions, please. I almost sense his unhappiness when he proceeds to take a look at my list of long questions and, often, I find him peering suspiciously to take a look at them. Also Read: A R Rahman, on rediff! How many more to go? he wonders, when I joke about not even having begun the real round of queries. The thing about Rahman, which he admits too, is that he's not inherently comfortable meeting the media, answering questions or facing the arc lights unnecessarily. So even as I prod him, urging him to say something more, hoping to hear about his music, about himself, he grins, bears it, but doesn't go beyond that. Dressed in a smart, brown jacket teamed with a pair of well-fitted jeans, Rahman, however, does smile when we talk about how a completely media-shy person like him has associated himself with reality shows, television programmes and other PR exercises in recent times. The latest role he's acquired is that of promoting The Big Band, an initiative with PhatPhish that will be telecast on Doordarshan and will include bands from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka [Images]. Also Read: Are you good enough for this show? Why is he increasingly associating himself with television? It stems from all the negativity that is around us. The idea, he says, appealed to me almost a year ago but it took time to get formulated. Rahman says that he loves being a part of this idea especially because it will be presented as a travelogue through his eyes as he journeys across 15 Indian cities to scout for new talent. I find we are living in such violent times that it becomes almost necessary to break the clutter, to get associated with products that can offer hope, that can offer a sense of melody...a harmony, he says. Maintaining harmony -- that's precisely why, he says, he appeared on another television show some months ago. It was sponsored by the UN and the idea was to bring four sets of musicians who could, with their original compositions, reach out to the masses and connect and talk about issues related to female infanticide, illiteracy, poverty and hunger. But isn't it ironical that glamour is used to actually address such issues? He laughs, It is, but you see, music is all that I know. I do believe that melody can reach out and make hardened criminals laugh or cry. So in that sense, he shrugs, why not use it as a medium? Rahman feels that the new generation of aspiring musicians and singers are only too lucky. When I formed bands in my college, he says, when I was associated with music as a means to earn a living, there were people who laughed at me, my own family (and I come from a musical background) was so jittery about my future. Today, he feels that sounds are changing, music directors are willing to push the creative envelope

It may be that many times Rahman Saab composes out of the world songs for Mani Ratnam and Mani Sir also comes out with many ground breaking videos for A R Rahman many times. But when it comes to be a combined effect, i think ARR and Ashutosh give more delightful output which is best in terms of situation handling (I mean the songs are according to the situation of the movie) without compromising the quality and taking care of popularity as well. Its really a tough decision though, i might be influenced by the factor that JA has just been released and has a huge temporary effect on my mind (Which may prove to be a permanent effect as well).

Re: [arr] Deepa Gahlot reviews JA.. no mention of ARR ohis music!
Interesting! and absolutely no mention of ARR or music or BGS just like another review posted yesterday or the day b4 or have I lost sight! Neena Gopal Srinivasan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Historical epics may have fallen out of favour in the last fewdecadesâwho could outdo Mughal-e-Azam?-- but they used to be a stapleof our early cinema, so the genre has its own indigenous roots; whichis why there is no reason to compare Jodhaa Akbar with Hollywoodsword-and-sandal epics, but does it measure to the standards set by ourown cinema? Yes,as far as grandeur and language is concerned, not so much when it cometo sheer drama and poetry that makes film buffs still admire the workof Sohrab Modiâthe underrated king of the Costume Drama-- earlyShantaram and, of course, K Asif, whose excellence ironically soundedthe death knell for the historical. Ashutosh Gowarikerâs film isa throw back to that era of costume spectacles, and he had the modernconveniences of colour and computer technology. It takes courage tomake a film like that at a time when attention spans are limited, andthe purity of the Urdu and Hindi have all but been abandoned forâHinglishâ and âBambaiyaâ dialogue and lyrics. It is not hard tosee why Gowariker is tempted by the idea of making an epicâwhat elsecould he do to surpass the magnitude of Lagaan, except costume drama orsci-fi? Thatâs why it is perhaps disappointing that Gowarikerâs visiondoes not match his scale. It is his prerogative to meld anentirely fictional love story with a semi-historical account of Akbaras a young man, but it is an uneasy mix. While the love story betweenthe emperor (Hrithik Roshan) and the Rajput princess Jodhaa (AishwaryaRai) has moments of incandescence, the interludes of Akbar dealing withcourt intrigues and family conspiracies are tedious. The CGI-assistedbattle scenes are not just unimpressive but unnecessary. Youwish Gowariker had reined in his Demille-ian ambitions and made a filmabout people belonging to two different cultures coming to understandand love each other, overcoming the odds. Like in the recent film onMarie Antoinette, the Hindu Jodhaa would have faced hostility in aMughal household. Though it is highly unlikely that a Rajput girlbrought up in a system as feudal and oppressive as that of the Mughalswould have the courage to first put forth conditions before marryingAkbar and then refuse to let him touch her. The fact that Akbar wasmarried several time and to other Rajput women, and that Jodhaa findsno great mention in history except as the mother of Prince Salim (ofAnarkali fame), shows that Gowarikerâs version of what happened betweenAkbar and her is at the level of fairy tale. Which by itself isnot at all bothersome, no matter what the bigots sayâ what is lackingin the film are real drama and a gripping narrative. All the scenesthat remain in memory are âitemsââAkbarâs fight with a wild elephant, abare-bodied Akbar flexing his muscles and smirking at the wide-eyedJodhaa, the sword-fight between the twoâ there is not one memorabledramatic confrontation. For all his greatness, Akbar is seen asa bit clueless. He has no idea, for instance, that under his rule Hindupilgrims have to pay tax. When he abolishes it, the people break into asplendidly choreographed dance, when just a while earlier they werecomplaining of the high price of food and repression by âoutsidersâ.When Akbarâs wet nurse (Ila Arun) tries to create a misunderstandingbetween him and Jodhaa, it is his mother (Poonam Sinha) who quiteeasily ferrets out the facts. All this and a lot more comes in the wayof turning Jodhaa Akbar into a masterpiece, not to mention that theso-called romance and marriage had no lasting impact on posterity, itjust brokered a fragile peace between the Rajputs and the Mughals atthe time. So only a flawless film could have crossed all these hurdlesand interested todayâs audience, that is not the least attracted to thepast. That said, Jodhaa Akbar is visually rich (a bit too much,actually), beautifully shot (Kiran Deohans), and you cannot imagine anyother actors except Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai playing theseparts. Hrithik wears his Dhoom 2 hair cut, but otherwise has the regalbearing of a king. She looks every inch a princess. The rest of thecast, unfortunately, look like they have strolled out of one of thosecostume dramas on TV, and act as if they were on stage. See the film by all means, just donât go in expecting greatness. http://cinemaah.blogspot.com/2008/02/jodhaa-akbar.html - Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo! for Good

Absolutely no answers to that, except that you're as disappointed as a guest who came away without a morsel from a wedding banquet. Sad. As you know, the romance is between Shahenshah Akbar (from the look of things here, a bachelor at 30) and Jodhaaji (not exactly in the prime of her youth either). She is coerced into a marriage with the Mughal but won't allow him his conjugal rights till she feels up to it from her `dil'. Frowns she like Kill Bill.

Misunderstandings and a patch-up later, the regal couple at last share common pillows-`n'- quilt. Takliya really. Vis-à-vis history, you learn about Rajputana kings who either acceded to Mughal supremacy or hatched plots culminating in battles starring scabbards, cannon balls, bows-arrows and helmets. Sorry but you're not sure which soldier is fighting whom and why. The body count rises to Ramboesque proportions; the displeased emperor banishes a mulla and good `ole lieutenant Bairam Khan to Mecca forthwith. Surprisingly, the mulla looks as if he were being sent to Siberia. Is this history? Secularism is conveyed through such gestures as Akbar allowing Jodhaa her own temple space and approval of A R Rahman-composed bhajans. No mention of the emperor's foundation of the all-religion-embracing Din- e-Ilahi faith. Moreover, how relevant is it to address the issue of Hindu tolerance of the minority today, instead of vice versa? Sufism is touched upon by a clap-a-hand-here-clap-a-hand-there qawwali in the course of which the emperor is zapped by a sky light, causing him to break into a jolly jig with the qawwals. Unintentionally funny. Did Akbar ever boogie woogie? For a tribute to Mughal-e-Azam, a fluttering palace eunuch is recalled and durbar cliches abound like Hukam ki taamil ho. Inevitably, flighty handmaidens clasp secrets to their bosom, eavesdroppers lounge around at jharokas. And the venomous Nigar Sultana is supplanted by a diabolical daai, or Ila Arun, playing the role as if she were a harridan from Harry Potter. On the plus side, Nitin Desai's sets and plush pageantry are eye filling. So is the elaborate picturisation of the Marhaba song in the style of the drum-stacked Chandralekha of yore. The Shahenshah's mum, Poonam Sinha, is so benign that it hurts. So does one of her Eiffel Tower-tall hats. What a balancing act! In fact, the headgear displayed here from Aladdin Cave turbans to those qawwals' upturned ice-cream cones -- are a gas. The action set pieces involving a rather senior citizen elephant and the Troy-like one-to-one combat finale -- are sound and fury amounting to nothing. Amitabh Bachchan's voice-over commentary is stale. Kiran Deohan's cinematography is conventional and Ballu Saluja's editing is rather old-fashioned, what with the 1950s-style wipes.

Re: [arr] Re: [semi-arr] a r r rafi...
Hi Vishwesh Thank you for posting a bit of the interview. How old is this interview and who interviwed ARR? I have always wondered how fantastic it would have been if ARR would have worked with Rafi. However, we still have Manna Dey and Mohinder Kapoor but they have not worked with him. Rafi would also have been nearly as old or older and perhaps his voice may have changed by now but it is good to know that ARR remembers Rafi. To answer your question of whether I am a Rafi fan - the answer is YES MOST DEFINITELY. I grew up listening to his songs and still do from time to time. I don't think that he will ever be replaced. He had four sons (not sure) but none of them followed in his foot steps and of what I heard recently was that Rafi's bunglow in Bombay was also demolished instead of turning it into a place to remember him like a meusem or visitors place. Personally we lost music history. Very sad but true. I am glad that ARR is making a music institution to keep alive his dream and works. Are you a Rafi fan too? Perhaps best to send a private message since a discussion on Rafi is not one for this forum unless of course others in the forum wish to continue this thread.

Sony BMG forays into Tamil music market - By Businessofcinema.com Team 30 January 2008, 09:27 PM MUMBAI: Sony BMG India is marking its entry into the growing music market in Tamil Nadu by signing on Dhasavadhaaram. Kollywood's leading producer and distributor V. Ravichandran's film Dhasavadhaaram stars Kamal Hassan. The music for the film has been given by Himesh Reshammiya. This is Reshammiya's debut in Kollywood. Confirming the release date of his film, Oscar Films' Ravichandran said, Dhasavadhaaram is getting ready for a worldwide release on 10 April. It will be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out. Sony BMG India managing director Shridhar Subramaniam said, It is a privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as Dhasavadhaaram. Being associated with Kamal Hassan and V Ravichandran in our very first Tamil project says a lot about the equity of Sony BMG, even in the markets where our presence has not been significant till recently. In Dhasavadhaaram Kamal Hassan has 10 different roles, countered by the heroine Asin's dual role in the movie. Mallika Sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. She appears as a CIA agent while Jayapradha, the well-known character artiste, plays another important role in the movie. The movie has been edited by Ashmith Kunder. Also in the pipeline for Sony BMG are several non-film albums, one of which is by Yuvan Shankar. This marks Sony BMG's foray into the as-yet unexplored Tamil pop and non-film music space. - Sent from Yahoo! #45; a smarter inbox.

I would love to contribute to JA /senior members/originality discussions but will refrain for the moment. However just wanted to say that a Journal on ARR's music is a fantastic idea..Perhaps it could be associated with his school of music (I prefer the term Academy to school) to opened in the near future. The teachings from the ARR' Academy (shortened to: ARRA) could be 'journalised' (ARRAJ) and a section could be allocated to Fan's views/takes on ARR's music? Failing that or until the school opens, perhaps a magazine could be started by fans. Perhaps there is hidden talent amongst the members. arr_raghu I think you have just opened a pandora box of thoughts and hopefully some action will follow.

OR at least how about some any music journal..search if there are any which suit our discussions in this group. Raghu --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Dasun Abeysekera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Aesthetic Judgment (Taste) I don't have to tell you that ARR's taste is of the highest possible kind compared with composers of all time. I mean how many composers the world-over has ever had the privilege of being compared to the ideal of Mozart, let alone being called one? Not even the kings of melody of the West Richard Rogers (of The Sound of Music (59) fame) Sir Francis Lai (Love Story (1970)), Maurice Jarr (Dr. Zhivago (1965)), or even Ennio Morricone, who have written some of the most soulful and moving music I have ever heard, have been told they are like Mozart, at least not to my knowledge. Most music lovers, and all great minds, Leo Tolstoy and Albert Einstein among them, have acknowledged unanimously that Mozart's music is the most perfect and the most universal imagined, no, let me use the word conjured, by any human being; because imagination, to many, could still mean there's some conscious involvement in that process of creation; perhaps, it is still a conscious process, but it is a far superior sense of consciousness that, by average human standards, it cannot be called one. If anybody here has seen the Oscar-winning movie Amadeus (84) by Milos Forman, you can see why it is so: Mozart's music, to use a phrase Einstein once used, seems like have simply been `plucked out of the universe'; the great scientist who adored Mozart and used to play his Sonatas on his little violin when he wanted a break from his scientific pursuits, says that compared to Mozart, Beethoven's music feels `too personal, almost naked.' Tolstoy, in his polemical book `What is Art?' destroys the kind of conscious creativity that he believes Beethoven and the followers of the Romantic movement that he charted, Richard Wagner, for example, brought about to Europe, overthrowing the musical dominance of the spontaneous and universal music of Mozart. In essence, Mozart's music and its perfection are not a result of conscious processing, they come from a superior sense of natural harmony and an extremely rare capability of letting go of one's self and connecting with the universal spirit and listening to it in all its infinite beauty. There cannot be a more fitting description of ARR's music and how he has conjured his magical output over the years; and it is no accident that the West would offer up their ideal for comparison with the best the East has offered to date. That sort of taste, a sincere kinship with the natural harmony and beauty of the universe, with God, if you will, years in an industry cannot fade away or dilute, and, if anything, I can confidently say that ARR's taste has, over the years, been refined like fine old wine, and I have not witnessed an instance where his aesthetic judgment, given the proper opportunities, has faltered beyond identification. In his choice of movies, directors, and lyrics, there maybe exceptions, but I will address these in a later category. It is difficult to pin down one or two works from the 92-96 period in which, like Rano said, beauty oozed out of every single phrase that he weaved, but I will pick two of my favorite songs `Kannalane' from Bombay (95) and `Uyirum Neeye' from Pavitra (94) in which I think ARR achieves the highest form of perfection. Sometime back, I analyzed the beauty of the song Uyirum Neeye from a conceptual viewpoint, so if anybody is interested, let me know and I will send it to you or post it on the forum. Kannalane (or Kehna Hai Kya), I hear, has entered the music textbooks in certain parts of the world (Canada, if I recall correctly)! Yes, these are songs of superior beauty that they have that universal appeal that Tolstoy hailed as the finest ingredient

Re: [arr] My last rambling on Saawariya
Dear Gopal Well summarised and I agree 100% about the tolerance factor. Hopefully this topic shall now rest and give way to more constructive debate about ARR's MUSIC. Dare I say that in one of the promos I could hear drums as played in Taal's - taal se taal mila - the fast version sang by Sukhwinder. Am I the only one to hear ARR's ressonance in Saawariya's promos? Waiting very patiently for Jodha Akbar - which I have absolutely no doubt will be a craftman's work of art, blending the old with the new very neatly and seamlessly.

If ARR's fans are snobs or not is up for debate, but the reaction to Saawariya is certainly not coming out of insecurity.

I, for one, thought Omkara was the best soundtrack of last year, even ahead of Rang De Basanti and there is no shame in admitting it. ARR did so himself.

One person's boring and tedious is another person's haunting, soulful, enchanting, and soothing. It just baffles me how so many of you find this soundtrack boring and tedious, while acknowledging some hangovers and similar sounding songs. There is a lot of quiet space in this soundtrack, which I find so refreshing. There is so much beautiful music, crisp arrangements, delicate ornamentation, soothing melodies, haunting alaaps, ethnic sounds, subtle soundscapes. I agree there are weaknesses, but it seems that most are ignoring the hard work put into this soundtrack by a relatively debutant MD. As a music composer myself, I can empathize and relate very well how difficult it is to live up to expectations. It's got to be tough when you have an egotistical director like SLB constantly nosing his weight and influence on his music preferences. Saawariya to me has an enchanting old world charm to its sound and very raaga based with poignant melodies, and while I agree that there may not be many takers due to this, it's what makes this soundtrack special amidst an overabundance of noisy, massala, rhythm oriented soundtracks. Thank goodness for soundtracks like Saawariya the remind us of the soulful and soothing side to good music, and pay some tribute to the old world evergreen era. Final suggestion: Listen to Saawariya on headphones to hear the delicate arrangements. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Gopal Srinivasan catchgops@ wrote:

Re: [arr] Translation of BBC Urdu article.
Hi Amit Thank you so much for the translated article. NK Thulasi Ram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: great job amit.. thanx a ton for sharing the article On 7/10/07, Amith Chandhran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This writer called Rabah Nazki once happened to travel to Chennai by the business class; and surprisingly found the person sitting besides him was A. R. Rahman! Here is what he has written about AR he observed during the journey. Long back this article was shared in the group. I could not translate it then. The original article is written in Urdu, and is posted here. This is the free-hand translation of the same article. I am not translating the article word-to-word due to the lack of time and the limitations of the translation. But don't worry, am taking care that you don't miss the important content in its pure form! Enjoy, comments from Urdu knowing people, like Jawad, Silal and others are welcome.. -- A. R. Rahman is a combination of innocence of a child and simplicity of a saint. I recently met him on Mumbai to Chennai trip. When I introduced myself to him, he noticed the similarity in my name and that of Rabah Basri's, and in no time, we started talking. He was very frank; in fact; our conversation started in the air travel and ended in his home in Chennai! Far away from the material world: What I realized thru the conversation about him is that he is far away from the material world. He started talking on spirituality by saying Whenever the plane takes off, I think this would be my last journey of life. He went further describing how music and spirituality go hand in hand. You cannot take one out of the other. Music lets you look inside within you. It takes you on such a high, far away from this material world, and moreover, it also takes you nearer to the God. You feel the purification that takes place within you while listening to music. Maybe this is the reason why music is sometimes called an integral part of devotion of Dhikr and Ibaadat. We used Sufiana music in Chhaiyyan Chhaiyyan from Dil Se.. and people appreciated it a lot. That is only because; Sufiana music is all about devotion. People can easily relate to it. Music cannot be created on conditions. According to me, while creating any form of art, the only thing which should be taken care of is that it should be perfect piece of craft. We should do our best to get the perfection. Only because of my mother: Whatever I am today is only because of my mother. I can never forget what she has done for us. After my father passed away, she insisted that I join the music. She had seen a dream for me and she has worked very hard for that dream to come true. She was more confident than anyone else that I'd be a musician sometime. She knows what's right and what's wrong for our family better than anyone else. She has a great intuition. There is something divine about her. Spirituality and religion: For me religion is like an instruction manual. You know the instruction manuals which come with mobile phones? I think religion is something like that. It is an instruction manual for the human beings, to make them the perfect human beings. Religion teaches us a lot: regarding many things in life. It teaches maintaining the relations with others; heading to the right path in life; thinking in a better way and almost everything. If we follow the things perfectly we will certainly be happy in our lives, and will have mental peace. Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) has once said, listen to your inner voice, and it will guide you, it will tell you the rights and wrongs. The God is within us, and we are the most closer-ones to the God. Only necessary thing is to know about yourself and your needs. In this modern age, every person should try to follow his own religion perfectly. And the teaching of all the religions is in fact one and the same. That is- loving others and spreading the peace! Is it not? Music is what I breathe: Music runs through my blood vessels. The very first show ever in my life - in which I had performed - was conducted when I was about 11 years old. Being in music since my childhood, I knew that success doesn't come all of a sudden, but it comes gradually. People started appreciating my music very slowly, after listening to it through the radio programs, television shows; live shows and later in the films. Couple of years ago, I felt that the live concerts are much more exciting and stimulating for the audience as well as our musicians. I feel the audience shares the music running thru my blood vessels. This is the feeling which helps the musicians to grow. Music is devotion only. Music itself is a language, which everyone can understand. It gives peace. Music is the language of spirituality which knows no boundaries. Music is beyond all religions, castes, and all kind of

Re: [arr] DVD-Audio: anyone interested?
Hi Kaissiom This is surely is rhetorical question coz any fan of ARR music would obviuosly say 'YES PLEASE' :-) Rgds. Neena lalisingh20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Kaissiom, Very good write up, I never thought of it that way. We really miss your BGMs and medley. One thing we know is that you never let us down in the quality department. Cant' wait until you share this song, what song are you going to share? Please let us know. ARR rocks! --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Aravind AM [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Wasim... You really rock man.. i am interested in the HQ DVD audio... pls share it with me... cant wait for it!! Aravind kaissiom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Rahmaniacs, It was a couple of years back that I accidentally or unintentionally came across a method of fetching *voiceless* BGMs. And co-incidentally, at around the same time our dear friend AJ (where are you AJ?) also discovered another way of doing the same thing. It was music to the ears and treat for the fans. We've come a long way since, many other wonderful people in the group have joined the BGM frenzy since. I admit, I have become selfish enough to keep the newer BGMs to myself for quite some time now, but there are multiple reasons for that, which could be the subject of a whole another topic. But this time around, it's another breakthrough, DVD-Quality music. In my personal opinion, in this i-pod age, there are 3 types of music listeners in general: A) People that are size conscious (due to the limitations of the hard-drive on their i-pod/computer) B) People that are quality conscious (want the best quality regardless of size) C) People that are neither type-A nor type-B and basically have no preference and could care less about the technical details. Well, I happen to be a hardcore type-B person. And if you happen to be type-B, carry on reading, and if you are not type-B, but still interested, you are also welcome. I could care less about the size on my hard-drive, as long as I can grab hold of the highest quality Rahman music out there. It is a pretty straight forward logic, as the size of the song goes down, the quality goes down. Although, the 5 MB, 128 kpbs song sounds great and you can't tell the difference on your ipod, the difference becomes quite noticeable on a hi-fi system or when playing the music on loud volume. I personally store Rahman's music at the highest quality on my computer or my ipod (I actually don't like ipods, I have a Creative Zen M, if you want quality, I would recommend Creative). The huge file sizes do reduce the number of songs I can have, but going with a bigger HD takes care of that problem. So, in my pursuit of high quality Rahman music, I had yet another breakthrough DVD-Quality music. I have been quietly, one at a time, ripping DVD music of all of my Rahman DVDs. Let's not forget that we already have the highest-quality audio available in the market for these movies in form of original Audio CDs. But the DVD audio I'm ripping is unarguably superior. I now have 3 x each of Rahman's songs. 1) in highest quality mp3 format, 2) in Audio CD format, 3) in DVD music format. Yes, call me a Rah-maniac, when I said I'm a hardcore type-B person, I meant it. Just based on simple logic of relation between file size and quality here's how they stack up: Example, Chotti si Aasha from Roja, run time: Approximately 5 minutes. 1) Highest quality mp3 format, 320 kbps: File Size(approx.): 11.3 MB 2) Audio CD, wav format: File Size(approx.): 48.3 MB 3) DVD-Quality audio, wma format: File Size(approx.): 81.2 MB Well, does it really make a difference? You have to listen to it to believe it. You can hear all the minute details and all instruments in back quite clearly. The highs are sharper and the basses are lower. I mean I could talk all about it, but unless you hear it, you won't know. Well, assuming that we are all Rahman fans on this group, and assuming that all of the fans should at least have Roja in their collection, I'm hesitantly willing to sharing ONE song from Roja in DVD quality. Why you may ask? Because I would hate to keep the gem to myself. It is an experience every fan should experience. I can not describe it in words...the joy of listening to Roja, Chor Chor, Bombay, Sapnay, Duet, etc. in DVD Quality music. What triggered my quest for this High-quality sound was that one post on this group, where someone posted a Thiruda Thiruda song and claimed it was DVD audio. I got excited, downloaded it, listened to it and I could swear it can not be DVD quality audio, because the sound on the Audio CD was definitely better. That was it! I decided to find out what DVD quality audio would really sound like. I'm actually very happy with my discovery, although it means more hard-drive space. But I know sooner or later someone in this group will post more of these, just like the BGMs.

By Taran Adarsh As a hardcore cinema bhakt, I have witnessed a number of films since I could remember. I have rarely gone for repeat viewings even if the film had won my heart. But certain films compel you to watch them again, and again, and again. I remember watching Hrishikesh Mukherjee's ABHIMAAN in three consecutive shows [3 p.m., 6 p.m., 9 p.m.] at Padma theatre, Ernakulam [Kerala], when I was a kid. I recall watching Ramesh Sippy's SHOLAY time and again over the years. MUGHAL-E-AZAM and MOTHER INDIA continue to be all-time favorites. And so is the Julie Andrews starrer THE SOUND OF MUSIC, which remains my most favorite film. I truly enjoyed Mani Ratnam's new outing GURU. And it gladdened my heart immensely. In fact, I watched it twice within three days of its release and I don't mind watching it the third time. This film inspires you to move ahead in life and that's what works. Let's get one thing straight: GURU was never expected to start like DHOOM 2, KRRISH or FANAA. In fact, everyone in the industry knew that the initial shows wouldn't record more than 35%-40% occupancy. But its 50%-60% start did comes a pleasant surprise. And the film picked up momentum on Day 1 itself . While everyone was expecting the film to perform exceedingly well at multiplexes of metros mainly, the day-wise growth in collections, even at centres where `multiplex films' rarely find many takers, has proved that a good film finds its audience, irrespective of its genre. At Indore, for instance, GURU showed a meteoric rise as days progressed. But it slided downwards on Monday and remained at par on Tuesday and Wednesday, which is not a disturbing sign. Let's have a quick look at its day-wise performance Theatres Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue Inox 68,200 78,200 1,44,000 45,500 47,500 Velocity 66,000 85,000 1,30,600 43,500 37,500 PVR 1,10,000 1,33,000 1,49,900 77,700 67,000 Adlabs 71,000 88,500 1,45,500 38,200 33,000 At Mumbai and Delhi/Uttar Pradesh too, the film is behaving exceedingly well. Going by the initial trends, the film fetched excellent collections in the opening weekend and is steady on weekdays. South and Bengal is also strong. Agreed, the film is not strong at single screens, but wasn't that expected? It's not a DHOOM 2 or a PHIR HERA PHERI to attract the hoi polloi in hordes, so let's not sit with a magnifying glass and indulge in loose talk. In fact, a number of print and TV journos quizzed me whether the Abhishek-Ash `roka' ceremony was a ploy to boost the business of GURU. Rubbish! The Bachchans would never stoop so low ever. If they wanted, they could've announced it during UMRAO JAAN, which really required the push. Let's stay away from yellow journalism! As things stand today, the distributors of a few territories of GURU are definitely in comfort zone thanks to its business at multiplexes. With no major opposition in the coming week, its business at multiplexes should be steady. -- --- http://www.indiafm.com/trade/business_talk/index.html - What kind of emailer are you?

Also, while trying to hum 'Jagen hai' from Guru, I accidently started humming 'Harek Baat pe kehtein ho tum ke tu kya hai - a gazal composed by Madan Mohan'.. are the two songs based on the same raga?

Re: [arr] Tere Bina Translation In English
Excellent translation except minor corrections as below: peetal = brass Keekar = a tree/bush provides no shade in the summer - very dry (whose sticks were used for cleaning teeth in the olden days b4 the invention of tooth brushes); hence it means that with you the keekar is also like Peepal - a very heavily leafed tree that provides shade and hence cooling effect in the summers when peopls sat under it. The bitter tasting vegetable is karela pronounced as karaila = bitter gourd and is bot the same as keekar. Hope this helps.
