Here are my true feelings on Amit Trivedi..... I respect him as a musician. I appreciate his crafty approach to music and unique style. He's carved out a nice niche for himself and he is very contemporary sounding. He is respectful towards other musicians and is himself an ARR fan. I wish him all the best in his music career.
As much as I can appreciate the creative spark in his music, his music does not connect with me on an emotional level, even after watching the films. I also feel his style and versatility are a bit narrow in range.....his style is mostly in the genres of Indie pop, grunge rock, light rock. His music also lacks the type of sonic range, melodic versatility, sound textures, and atmospherics/ambiance that I come to appreciate about someone like Rahman or Vishal Bharadwaj. I like more of the smooth, softer sounds from Rahman, Shantanu Moitra, and Vishal Bharadwaj. Amit Trivedi's music also is limited to youth appeal....you won't find too many 40 plus folks liking his music beyond a few songs here and there. Amit Trivedi is talented and has a bright future, but his style of music just doesn't connect with me much, apart from a few songs. My fav song of his of late is "Shaam" from the album "Aisha". Really cool and sweet track. But, overall, his music so far lacks the range, intensity, passion, texture that I prefer to hear. So, no, I don't believe that he is the next "Rahman" in the making. Just my opinion. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Aditya Pai <adityaco...@...> wrote: > > Amit Trivedi is one music director who is proving himself to be one of > the versatile music directors in the film industry.
