Re: [arr] Bollywood artists response for Jagjit Singh

2009-01-29 Thread sam_menon
Would like to take you'll back in time, to this much-forgotten 
film, "Tehzeeb" for which ARR composed. I'm not sure, but would those 
songs fall into the ghazal genre? Not talking about "I wanna be free" 
obviously :-), but the others:- Mujhpe Toofan, Khoyi Khoyi Aankhen, 
Meherbaan, etc. They might have been adaptations of other poets, but 
they were ghazals nonetheless, right (correct me if I'm wrong)?

[arr] Water Review on Rediff!!

[arr] "I feel my voice doesn’t suit him"

2006-11-30 Thread sam_menon
He has sung for Abhishek Bachchan in `Guru' but AR Rahman says he 
isn't convinced about the results:-

AR Rahman started his career with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The duo is 
back together again with `Guru'. Rahman says, "There is anticipation, 
both good and bad. Mani and I think alike as far as music goes. 
That's how I ended up giving music to `Guru'. We were done with 
composing most of the songs even before he started shooting." 
 
Rahman has used Bappi Lahiri's voice for the first time. "We were 
wondering whom to get to sing `Bolo Guru' and then Gulzar suggested 
Bappida's name. We were not sure if his voice would suit Abhishek. 
However, once we tried him, we liked the results."
 
Interestingly, Rahman thinks another song that he himself has sung 
doesn't suit Abhishek at all.
 
He says, "Every time I sing, I feel my voice doesn't suit the actor. 
Earlier I had such apprehensions when I sang for Shah Rukh Khan 
in `Dil Se'. I had similar apprehensions while singing for Abhishek. 
Even after watching the song 20-30 times, I am still to be convinced. 
In fact, first time I watched it, it almost spooked me. Hope the 
audience doesn't agree with me!"

[arr] Water

2005-09-13 Thread sam_menon
In the last line of this link:-

http://www.mumbaimirror.com/nmirror/mmpaper.asp?
sectid=10&articleid=9132005031318129132005030120

Deepa Mehta says that Water will release worldwide in November. She's 
waiting for the response of a Mr. Virmani responsible for the film 
distribution in India. She adds with caution that it would be regretful 
if Water doesn't release in the country of its origin. My question thus 
is, shouldn't the audio be out soon?? Anyone in the loop, kindly 
enlighten..

Ppl!
Just had a word with Planet M, Brigade Rd., Bangalore. They say that MP 
will be out tomorrow evening, latest Saturday morning and the audio for 
Aa Aah will be out in 4 days. So, by 20th/ 21st, expect a double 
bonanzaThis hasn't happened in a long time. The last time 3 ARR 
albums came out back-to-back with negligible gaps in between, was when 
Rhythm, Taj Mahal and Jan Gan Man came out in 2000 I think??

[arr] Re: Any updates on rising/Aa Aha/ God Father?

2005-04-19 Thread sam_menon


Hey Thanks Karni!
Nothing much can be done about the situation- when ARR signs a film 
even with reputed banners, little does he know what fate the film's 
music will meet..whether it will release ever or not..Take 
Water..He's done films with Deepa Mehta before- a director of great 
repute whose films and music have more-or-less released on time, 
always. But, Water met with some terrible tragedies right from its 
making!! This is disappointing, but nothing much can be done. No one 
can sign a film after "looking" into the future and finding out 
whether it will release or not, right? ;)
As regards going down in the eyes of his fans, we all fully realize 
what a maestro ARR is- we understand his misery when some excellent 
work of his fails to see the light of the day..

[arr] Re: ARR's Sound Quality

2005-04-07 Thread sam_menon


ARR once quoted "You can learn music, you can learn technology, but 
beyond all that, composing music is like a spiritual, divine 
journey". What he was probably trying to convey is that his approach 
is different from other MDs. He admits he's never perfect; many a 
time he's approached a soundtrack wrongly, gone back and come in 
again. He's repeated the process over and over again till he's 
satisfied with the result. Technically speaking, he's got the best 
state-of-the-art digital studio in probably the whole of India (In 
fact, daxco digital, the pioneers in sound technology plan to modify 
and construct a hude studio just for ARR) So, this might be an 
advantage as well. He also admits that to grow in music, one should 
keep an open mind- 1 should experiment. He does a lot of that while 
other MDs probably don't (for reasons best known to them). It's all 
about approach- he says that everytime he starts out on a song, he 
treats it as his first. With such enthusiasm and freshness, can 
we "not" recognise his stamp?? :)
