[arr] Semi-ARR - "Then Dileep (Rahman) got his first film....."-John Anthony

[ramanujan_mk]

"Then Dileep (Rahman) got his first film. He told us that he would 
give it a try, earn some good money and be back. But after the first 
film there was no coming back for him"  -John Anthony


John Anthony loves to call himself a freelance guitarist. This Kochi-
bred musician who has jammed with some of the biggest names in the 
industry has completed what he calls a `dream project': A classical 
contemporary band called `Karnatrix' and a new album named `Namaste'. 
John started off his career with big names, way back in 1985. 

Sivamani, A. R. Rahman the Kenyan Jo Joo, who is no more, and John 
had formed the band, `Roots,' which rocked Chennai and other Indian 
cities for about four years. 

"That was fun. We gelled as a group. We did our own music, new 
compositions. We jammed with numerous artistes like T. V. 
Gopalakrishnan and Kadri Gopalnath. Then Dileep (Rahman) got his 
first film. He told us that he would give it a try, earn some good 
money and be back. But after the first film there was no coming back 
for him. By then Sivamani and his drums had become very popular and 
the group had to be wound up. We still keep in touch and sometimes 
even think of regrouping," reminisces John. 

Settling down in Chennaithrew up a slew of opportunities for John. 
But before all this happened he had to virtually slug it out. "I gave 
up studies after my pre-degree at St. Albert's College, Kochi. Along 
with this went hockey, even after being selected to play for the 
State. I began learning the guitar from Emil Issacs at Kalabhavan. In 
those early days I played for many bands, like `The Hijackers,' 
before we formed `Resistance.' This group performed live across the 
country for about six years. My decision to choose music as a career 
naturally stunned my family. I realised I had to fend for myself. I 
went to join Taranga Nisari School of Music at Thiruvananthapuram but 
ended up teaching there. That was a turning point." 

The then principal of this music school was Roger D. Jhanke a reputed 
US-based pianist. "It was he who trained me in Western classical 
music. He was there for nearly three years and when he left I did 
too." For a year John worked as an instructor at Sainik School, 
before deciding to seek his destiny in Chennai. 

It was during those few years in Thiruvananthapuram that John met 
Supreetha, his student and later life-partner. He has a 22-year-old 
son Siddharth who is studying animation. 

He came into contact with the film industry while at 
Thiruvananthapuram. "That happened through M. G. Radhakrishnan. He 
taught me the basics of Carnatic music. We used to have heated 
arguments on the different genres of music. I could never agree that 
Indian classical music was more comprehensive than any other. It was 
a view that I had to alter later. The first film that I worked in was 
Priyadarshan's `Poochakku Oru Mukoothi.'" 

But his Chennai sojourn opened up new vistas. `Roots' was the 
certainly the launch pad. Through this band John was soon finding 
himself in the company of illustrious musicians. "One show that still 
remains etched in memory is the one at the IIT campus in Chennai with 
the `Epidemics.' I had the fortune to share the stage with violin 
maestro L. Shankar, the redoubtable Zakir Hussian and the brilliant 
Vikoo Vinayakram. It was a mind-boggling show. We went on to do a 
benefit concert and even recorded a album with the `Epidemics' that 
somehow was not released." 

That disappointment was forgotten when John had two albums 
released. "The first one was with the Chennai-based rock band `Sign 
of IV.' The other one, in which I was the co-producer, was titled 
`Four/Four.' I still maintain that the former remains one of the best 
rock albums to have been produced here." He recorded with L. 
Subramaniam, co-founded the Carnatic fusion band `Brahmma' along with 
Ganesh and Kumaresh, recording albums and performing live concerts; 
performed with the mridangam master Karaikudi Mani in Hyderabad and 
Chennai and joined Kanjira exponent Selvaganesh and German 
saxophonist Rainer Putsch at a unique show at the Music 
Academy. "Another memorable show was again at the hallowed Music 
Academy where we had a fusion concert with Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna, 
Vikkoo Vinayakaram, Rainer Putsch, T. H. Subash Chandran, Joel 
Almeida." 

In 2000 John, nspired by the struggle of the survivors of the Bhopal 
disaster, founded a rock group `The Banned.' They organised a live 
show that we called `No More Bhopal' for an audience of over 5,000 
students at IIT, Chennai.The show was featured on Channel V and we 
also went on to release the album titled `No More Bhopal.' 

By this time John was also evolving as a musician. From the hard rock 
guitarist who believed that his music was the best, he was gradually 
realising the immense possibilities of Indian classical music. Now, 
after all these years, he began to understand how true M. G. 
Radhakrishnan was in those long debates.

Best Review!...
"But after a single listen, we are happy to report that Rahman has 
packaged Vijay's musical needs in a different flavor. But one that 
doubtless will have the Ilaya Thalapathi's fans dancing in the

Azhagiya Tamil Magan  - Any time music  
IndiaGlitz  [Tuesday, October 23, 2007]  Among the 
combinations in Kollywood, Vijay-A R Rahman is rather intriguing as 
the idioms that define the duo are totally different, and twain 
looked unlikely to meet. To be sure, Rahman had indeed scored music 
for a Vijay starrer previously. That was the unsung Udaya, a film 
that was laid low by many problems. Except the eponymous title track 
(and was certainly beguilingly brilliant), none of the numbers 
hardly had anything to redeem or remember. Vijay, in the meanwhile, 
had become the commercial star and this kind of films demanded `a' 
kind of music, which if it came from Rahman would be disappointing. 
Rahman's musical methods are believed to suit a different canvas.
>  So before settling down to listen to the Azhagiya Tamil Magan 
songs, the feeling was rather mixed, and the belief was that 
something, or rather someone, had to give. But after a single 
listen, we are happy to report that Rahman has packaged Vijay's 
musical needs in a different flavor. But one that doubtless will 
have the Ilaya Thalapathi's fans dancing in the aisles with gusto. 
Rahman's genius lies here in the fact that he has not compromised 
his core constituency.
>  The six numbers, including a remixed one, carry that unique 
Rahman stamp  rhythmic razzmatazz, quaint harmonies and 
experimental interludes all creating a symphonic sounds cape.
>  1 Ella Puzhal
>  The title track in a mass Tamil movie is microcosmic to the 
overall genre. It has to have elevating lyrics. It has to have 
simple but catchy beats. It has to set the tempo for the scrip to 
feed on. But Rahman here bucks the trend. He provides all the 
necessary rhythms. He has, in a sense, redefined the `intro song 
with a tempo that is reflective without being ponderous. Rahman's 
own vocals — in typical nasal high-pitched twang  provide a 
further newness. The beats are not all-out or in-your-face, but 
carry forward Vaali's undoubtedly exalting and ennobling ideas in 
attractive packets of snappy strums and bewitching beats. It is not 
impossible to imagine what the reaction of Vijay's countless fans 
whenever the word `thalapathi' is uttered in the lyric.
>  2 Pon Magal Vandhal
>  Rahman, among the music directors, had steadfastly avoided the 
abhorrence of remixes. The one time he had to attempt that, Rahman 
did the honorable thing of re-tuning it (Thottal Poo Malarum in 
New), rather than add some high-octane rhythms to the original and 
preen to the world as if it is indeed a `new original', so to speak. 
But here settles for the straight forward remix; the only liberty he 
takes here is a bizarre rap interlude. Aslam has sung with his all 
his energy, and Embar's rap bit also works. But remixes are not 
Rahman's.

trope as well in terms of drift of the language. Full of city 
youth's Esperanto, the words of Na Muthukumar (almost in bilingual 
with liberal use of `Party', `Saturday night',' scanning') will have 
the dancing feet tapping incessantly. Benny Dayaland Ujjaini sings 
with that stylized lilt that such songs are expected to sound. The 
chorus pattern is interesting and provides a defining staccato feel. 
The way `Nee Marilyn Monroe' is enunciated is certainly very 
alluring and provides all the right impact for the song.
>  4)Valaiyapatti 
>  Imagine a rambunctious Tamil folk madly cohabiting. And now, as 
if for a lark, throw a bit Carnatic nuggets. What do you get? A song 
that defies imagination. It takes musical effrontery to conjure such 
mix n' match song. Rahman's brilliance is in pulling this amazing 
number, on which explanatory words are ineffective. Naresh Iyer, 
like a stone waller is being asked to play the pinch-hitting role in 
cricket, has been asked to let his curly hair down and sing with 
uninhibited effulgence. Naresh does and provides the song the 
perfect patchwork. The twist into the by-lanes of Carnatic ragas 
(like Bageshwari, Saraswathi and Neelambari) is sheer genius. 
Ujjaini and Madhumitha's voices climb the higher octaves with 
felicitous zeal while Muthukumar's lyrics again match the mood. One

[arr] will rahman-ratnam click this time???

[ramanujan_mk]

Just heard the song `Tere Bina' from the upcoming Mani Ratnam film 
GURU. The music is simply haunting and what a terrific job by 
Rahman. Infact the film has an elegant musical score, which just 
exudes the classy genius of the music maestro. One can't help 
saying `Maan Gaye GURU'. Well GURU once again brings forth the Mani 
Ratnam-A R Rahman collaboration. But the movie looks quite 
noteworthy if one skims over the little factors associated with this 
film.

First of all, A R Rahman has composed outstanding scores for his 
mentor Mani Ratnam's movies. But they haven't been able to `score' 
in Bollywood so far. This combination has not clicked when it comes 
to Hindi movies. Their previous ventures DIL SE and YUVA turned out 
to be huge disappointments. So they surely might be pinning their 
hopes on GURU this time. 

Secondly, this movie again pairs up Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya 
Rai. They too haven't dished out a hit as a pair since their KUCH 
NAA KAHO days, which saw them as the lead pair for the first time. 
The recently released UMRAO JAAN too fizzled away. The forthcoming 
DHOOM 2 also stars both of them but not as a couple. So it's GURU 
that both will have to bank upon. 

This could be really interesting. The credits of the film display a 
name that reads Mithun Chakraborty. Ohh! This amazes a lot coz as it 
clearly come across a little unexpected given the fact that the soft-
spoken director has always chosen to work with big names. Mithun, a 
very talented actor and a former dancing star, is even remembered 
today by many a movie lovers. But today he is not in the list of 
happening actors and that makes his selection a little startling. 
But you never know with Ratnam; he is a guy with the Golden Touch!

And last but not the least, Mallika Sherawat is all set to sizzle 
the folks with an item number.  She has already cemented her bold 
image in Bollywood, but this song could well be her first `item 
number' for any movie. 

So it seems GURU has a lot in store for the movie buffs. It's also 
touted to be based on the life of one of India's leading industrial 
tycoons. If it is to be believed then this could be Mani Ratnam's 
first biographical sketch. The Southern movie-ace has always 
attempted to present something credible and realistic. What is he 
offering with GURU? Gotta check out!
