and listeners too are getting inspired. He cites his own
forthcoming film Yuuvraaj as an example. A film where he's teamed up with
Subhash Ghai [Images], the sound, says Rahman, actually brings in live
orchestra and a local Austrian musical flavor. It's like painting a huge
canvas with colours of my own choice, he grins.
That he loves sitting in his studio in the dead silence of the night is
folklore in music circles. Is it true? It is, he laughs, but you have to
realise that music is meditation for me. I can't fathom a life without it. It's
all that I know. The violent times that we're living in, he says, do concern
him and, to an extent, his work. Every time I create a melody I wonder if
there is a way this song will reach out and prevent a bloodbath, he adds.
Rahman does agree, however, that it's during his recording sessions that he
can't tolerate being disturbed; family, friends or the media, I don't like
anyone interrupting me at all, he adds.
A master of perfection -- as he's usually described -- Rahman admits that
brickbats and criticism, even if they affect him, leave him unfazed. I see a
lot of trash come out in the market, but you can't help it beyond a point. I
know my work and if I feel satisfied, if album sales and if listeners are
tuning in, I suppose I'm doing fine. And recordings for films, he says,
completely depend on the project and his own bent of mind. I've done projects
which have taken me three years to complete, he says. Predictably, he's
excited about his forthcoming projects too: Aamir Khan's [Images] Ghajini
[Images], Dilli 6 and Yuuvraaj, to name just a few.
Whether music defines Rahman, or Rahman defines music is a question that many
of his fans would love to answer. For now, the music maestro continues to be --
what else? -- on a song.
