[arr] Stop sharing VTV songs - Goutham Menon

The music of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ composed by Academy Award winner A R
Rahman, has not been released as yet in India. Sources close to the film’s
makers say that it would hit the stores and will be available to listeners
from the 10th of January. On the other hand, a few people by hook or crook
have got their hands on rough drafts of the earlier versions of a song that
goes “Hosanna” from the album.

The film’s makers are unhappy about this piracy and are keen to stop such
dishonest activities. As the music is copyright protected, the film’s team
has issued a complaint with the cyber crime cell about this illicit
transfers and downloading of the song over the internet or through emails.

Director Goutham Menon has issued a press release in order to spread the
news that software has been installed to track the song over the net before
its official release. The producers of the film have further advised warning
to all those who are engaging themselves in the online transfer of the song.
The crew of ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaya’ wants to put in that it's unethical to
do so. Moreover these kinda activities cannot be calculated as simple cases
of music lovers who are just eager to listen to the music. Goutham Menon has
requested the audience to support the team and said, “Please stop
downloading and transferring the songs of Vinnaithandi Varuvaya.”

Valid point and valid reason!

Hook or crook? LOL.. 

I believe that GM is getting a little carried away on his first association 
with ARR. 

Hosanna came on official ARR's website and his FB page. What is he talking 
about? Let him and the producers make all the efforts to get the original CD's 
released as soon as they can, instead of issuing press releases. If there is a 
wide gap between the so called audio launch and the release of CD's these kinda

actually if the so called 'leaked' song is what he is referring to then its 
most certainly from his unit. Because it may not be the final mix but rather a

[arr] Should ARR stop developing BGMs?

2009-08-04 Thread V S Rawat
I want to understand the connection between songs in a film as against 
BGM of a film. Does it, and how does it help in improving the quality of 
the music and/ or the BGM if the same person composes songs as well as 
BGM, or if they are composed by different persons?

Normally, I think, songs-directors are quite busy and a song has to 
sound unique, different from his and others' other songs, songs should 
have instruments and style in tune with the time and place of the movie, 
the lyrics should reflect the psychological profile and social 
background/ religion/ caste/ maturity/ education of the character 
singing them on the screen, so songs in a film, I think, should be 
requiring more efforts, and as they also get sold to public, this 
commercial angle also requires more efforts to be put in the songs to 
make people shell out money.

However, BGMs could be general. Human brains are not so much attuned to 
find similarities between BGMs of two different films, the reason could 
be that BGMs are sadly not sold nor made available to public so almost 
all of us happen to get to hear them only once or twice when we see the 
film and then we tend to forget them. Another drawback could be lack of 
lyrics in BGM. Lyrics in a song act as place marker, an aid to remember 
and repeat music, so when we memorize the lyrics, the song of those 
lyrics gets etched in our brain, but as there are no lyrics in BGM, it 
is mostly hard to memorize the BGM.

Thus, BGM could be general. A BGM director can even prepare a BGM bank 
that he can keep on giving them to different films and people would mind.

So, I think songs and BGMs are quite different area, having quite 
different requirement. Then, how would it help when a songs-master 
creates BGM or when a BGM-master creates song.

In fact, I think a songs-master is more busy so he might not pay more 
attention in creating the BGM for the film so it might reduce the 
quality of the BGM if a songs-master creates them. Or, a songs-master 
might tend to create BGMs as lyrics-less songs, that is, in 
independent, individual patches like he was creating a song for a 
situation but just didn't add lyrics to them.

I want to know whether you think ARR should concentrate on creating 
songs and should leave BGMs to be developed by others, :-) even though 
we love BGMs or any piece of created by our man?

[arr] Re: Should ARR stop developing BGMs?

2009-08-04 Thread adrcc2
Maybe you haven't noticed but most BGM compositions by Rahman sahb are derived 
from the composed songs themselves. He uses the same instrumentation in both 
his songs and his BGMs. This adds a unique flow to the movie 
(Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy do that as well) and this is something you wouldn't get 
with eg a guy like Sanjoy Chaudhury.

So no I'm strongly for him continuing BGMs. But i'd also wish to have official 
releases of these BGMs (like SEL did for Dil Chahta Hai and Taare Zameen Par) 
because I listen to lots on scores. Personally, I've got to like the music 
first...and only after a few listens will I try to figure out what's being 
said. I listen to his tamil music, icelandic music, spanish music without 
understanding the lyrics and that opens a lot of horizons. 

So again, yes, he should never stop doing BGMs. And yes, there is a market for 
BGMs, so they should be released.

Re: [arr] Should ARR stop developing BGMs?

2009-08-04 Thread Madhavan Rajan
I beg to differ. Ideally, It should work the other way around! Composers'
primary responsibility is to write the score for the movie though they can
also contribute in writing few songs. Director explains the shot to the
cinematographer and shoots the scene. Then the composer watches the scene,
writes the cues wherever needed to carry the emotions of the scene to the
viewer. Songs with the lyrics ideally should be used to convey a message,
some times the story itself, as needed by the movie. The amount of
plagiarism in Indian music industry sometimes prove that a song with the
tune composed by someone else fits so perfectly in the movie. But it will
never workout with the score because, i feel that's where the primary
responsibility of composer lies in; to understand what the director has to
convey to the audience and to compose accordingly.
Again, since in Indian movie industry there is a traditional approach of
incorporating at least 5 songs in a movie, music composers most of the times
are forced to limit the major themes (scores) to the base tune of the songs.
Moreover, since each song has it's own emotions, they put in all their
effort in composing the songs and then they produce main BGMs by composing
the base tune of the songs in different octaves with slight variations in
the tune itself or by playing them using different instruments. Director and
the music director in the presence of cinematographer place these major
themes in various parts of the movie. The other smaller cues are composed by
watching the movie. It's totally subjective and I don't know whether this
way of composing the score is right or not.

Even if there is a Song master and a Score master as you refer, in
Indian film industry, scores are always written with the help of base tunes
from the songs. If you consider the movie Kisna as an example, AR had to use
some tunes of the songs written by Ismail Darbar in the BGM's.

I would love AR to continue writing great scores for the movies and
slowly change the tradition by composing more songs independently and
releasing them as own albums, sell those songs to movie producers
if they want to use them in their movies!! Wouldn't it be awesome??

Actually , BGM is the lifeline of the movie.
Some of the greatest movies - both in India  around the world have had the
best scores to go with them.
The greatness of a Movie Director  Music composer lie in bringing out the
best of each other  to give a sum that is greater than the individual.
for eg,  a Giant Lizard is terrorizing a city..
you can give great dramatic music to this scene , but there is only a limit
to it..
Please watch some movies for which Ennio Morricone has given the score.
There are scenes which have tremendous impact - strangely though, there
won't be a dialog or actiion going on..
just the characters pondering or someone reflecting at himself..!!
ARR is a master at both.. he should continue to give BGMs.
I've listened to just ARR BGM;s for several hours..
personally though, I wish he gives more 'theme' based music , rather than
using the songs as BGM pieces.
stand out example  : The theme of the boy (Rythm).

 we love BGMs or any piece of created by our man?

[arr] Stop Comparing me with my Guru’- A.R. Rahman

2009-03-05 Thread Vithur
Comparisons are merely present only in India, especially in Bollywood and
Kollywood where you don’t get to see even a single media channel ending it’s
day without pulling one’s legs by raising one’s name above them…. Now it has
turned to be a hot topic in South India, especially the Tamil Film Industry
where many have been debating the issue of who’s greater between ‘Ilayaraja’
and his protégé ‘A.R. Rahman’. None are least or greater than anyone. If you
ask us, it would be the apt reply. Perhaps, we’re sure there isn’t any big
reason other than this.

A.R. Rahman was bit distressed addressing the throngs gathered for his
felicitation on Sunday Evening where his mentor Ilayaraja and M.S.
Viswanathan were present. Speaking on the occasion, he said, ‘I was bit
disappointed watching media channels especially certain websites that were
continually passing abusive comments by comparing Ilayaraja sir with him.
He’s the great master of all times and I’m nothing when compared to him…
Elder Musicians like him laid the foundation and I’ve represented them for
these awards’.

As the standing applause that was witnessed for around 10mins when Ilayaraja
spoke was the highlighting factor and Rahman on this said, ‘This is
something more prestigious and that’s the result of Ilayaraja and Oscars is
no where compared to this’.

Well, Ilayaraja and Rahman had graduated from the same school of Trinity
Music College of London and there were some more similarities between them
as their masters of Classical music were ‘Dhanraj’ Master.

When Ilayaraja happens to be special with his orchestration structure A.R.
Rahman mastered the best of all sound engineering. So, it’s precisely
evident that both of them have been trendsetters of various periods…

Hey all you A R Rahman fans and the others,

I have noticed that many of us hardcore Rahman fans go over the top with our 
'fury' when something bad , or if there is some sort of criticism written about 
Rahman. Why, why why???

Do we need to really prove to the others that Rahman has justified the music in 
all of his albums?? We know that already!!! and we also know that he will do 
the same with all of his upcoming albums.. People talk... let them! We dont 
have to prove a point to them.. Rahman does that for us anyway. And we do love 
him and support him unconditionally, dont we?

For example, there was this bloke who said he did not like the guzarish song 
from ghajini. All of a sudden, many of you's jumped on him saying he was absurd 
etc etc. As far as I know, he just voiced his opinion. Each one has his 
tastes.. 

No one can force anyone to like a particular type of music. Rahman caters to a 
wide audience with his variety and rightly so, he has the most fans from all of 
the Indian celebrities.

Rahman himself has quoted as being a fan of Yuvan's music. For Rahman, music is 
universal. If our so called 'boss' can be modest, so can WE!! If someone says, 
this music of Rahman is his worst... Good for him, he probably wants to lower 
his standards in the type of music that he listens to.. We cant help him, can 
we?

So please dont think we HAVE to prove that we are fans of A R Rahman.. If we 
weren't, we wouldnt have joined this group; now would we??

So it is my humble request to stop overcrowding our inboxes with words of 
hatred, fury and irritation. 

Cheers,
Roshan.

[arr] Stop using the word copy so loosely.

2008-07-15 Thread Chord
I don't understand some of you guys.  As ARR fans, some of you seem to
take pleasure in pointing out your perception that ARR has lifted
tunes.  I don't get it.  A few similar notes or rhythm accents within
a few phrases does not make for a copied song.  A song with rhythms
from the same genre does not make for a copied song.  A melodic line
with similar contours does not make for a copied song.  These kinds of
comments are happening now with each and every single ARR new release,
and quite frankly, it's comical in a stupid kind of way.  I wouldn't
mind someone pointing out similarities between songs in certain
phrases or sections, but do come out and declare ARR lifted an entire
song is just wrong.  

Grow up people.  I've become more of a lurker of late simply due to
the overabundance of these kinds of discussions of late.

HI all, 
This is really to mention to every one that RDB is one of ARR's masterpiece, we have to accept it clearly, for those people, who are saying that it is not up to the mark, have listened, to the songs just once, and they are wasting there time and energy in reviewing the songs, this is a pathetic state of affairs and it is absolutely ridiculous to comment on the good work with out listening to the songs.
thank you.
