Week 3 

  

At a time when A.R.Rahman’s father R.K Shekar what working
round-the-clock, he never cared about food or sleep. He used to spend all his
time at the recording studio, having just tea and biscuits. Sometimes, he used
to suffer from severe stomach ache, late in the nights. Unable to bear the
pain, he would just lie down with a pillow pressed tight on his stomach. He
would relax and sleep after the killing pain subsided. Barely an hour after he
slept it would have already dawned. With the thought that, musicians would be
waiting at the studio from 7 am itself, he would wake up and rush for the
recording. He didn’t have time to even consult a doctor regarding his stomach
ache. He would neither tell anyone about this!

  

The other sad story is that, though an amazing composer,
Shekar had very few opportunities to compose alone for films, and he just
worked for other composers. He gave 10 beautiful songs for the film 
“Pazhasiraja”.
The song “Siragatru veeNoru kochhu thumbi” sung by AM Raja and S.Janaki,
and the lullaby “Muththey va va va” sung by P.Susheela are a pleasure to listen
to, even now! The song “Sahibe sahibe a-salam aleikum” became a
trendsetter. After a long break, came the movie “Aayesha”. The song “yathrakaara
povuga povuga” sung by P. B. Sreenivas for that film is one of PBS’s best
songs. But, how long can someone financially sustain without getting proper
composing opportunities?  

  

Days passed, and the cruel hands of the disease clutched
RK Shekar tightly. He became bedridden. The images of the young kid, Dileep,
visiting his dad every day at the hospital became permanently etched in
Dileep’s memory. 

  

Dad is lying on the hospital bed, surrounded by his
assistants. They note down on the music notes dictated by Shekar. A few
directors come in and tell him “We feel bad to tell this now… But, our film
scores will get completed only if you come. Not worrying about the agony caused
by the disease, he listens to the tunes and writes notes for music
arrangements.  Popular lyricist, Sri
Kumaran comes and holds Shekar’s hands in gratitude, and says “Get well soon,
and come back. Let’s make music together”! Theirs was a successful combo, and
had given some superb songs. Shekhar returns a dry smile in return, for he was
well aware of the seriousness of his disease. The kid, Dileep, watches all this
with a mix of amazement and confusion. 

  

Dileep couldn’t understand what happened to his dad all of
a sudden, for he would always be busy like a bee. All he knew was that his dad
was a good musician. The collection of musical instruments and music-records
formed Dileep’s world. Dileep believed that his dad would get well soon, and
would be back to his music work very soon. 
But, that was not to be. Shekar’s health condition kept deteriorating
each day. 

  

Shekar got married only when he was 31, at Thiruppathi. He
got married to Kanchana, and had 4 kids, back-to-back – Kanchana, Dileep, Bala
and Rekha. Shekar had been making so many innovations in Malayalam film music
industry. It was he, who introduced SP Balasubramanyam and Bala Murali Krishna
to that industry. No one could even imagine penetrating into Malayalm music
industry dominated by legendary singer KJ Jesudas. The song “neeyendre
velicham” composed by Shekar and sung by P Susheela for the 1972 movie “Miss
Mary” is still one of the most famous devotional songs in Kerala among all
the devotees of Mother Mary. 

  

The curiosity and eagerness of Rahman towards new
technology, was evident in Shekar in those days. He often went to Singapore and
hunted for new musical instruments and latest innovations in recording
techniques. When we were all bored listening to the same voices, it was Rahman
who broke the trend and introduced many new voices, and took the listening
experience to a new level. RK Shekar was a forerunner for Rahman in that front
too. 

  

In those days, singing for movies was no ordinary feat.
Recording studios were like iron-fortresses. It was not possible for anyone to
get in so easily. Shekar opened the doors of the fortress for new singers. He
introduced many new singers like Bramhanandan, Sadhanandan, Sudha Varma,
Gopalakrishnan, Soman, Ponguntham Ravi, Jayalakshmi, Kasthoori Shankar,
Manoharan, Ambly, Jayashreee. That legacy of encouraging new talent continues
through A.R.Rahman. 

  

RK Shekar composed 110 songs in Malayalam. Singers like Jesudas,
Jayachandran, P Susheela, Vani Jaaram have sung several wonderful songs in his
music. Even today, Shekar’s songs are mesmerizing the people of Kerala. 

  

The last movie which had Shekar’s music was “Chottanikkara Amma”, which was 
released in 1976. The song “Manasu manasinRae kaadhil” from that album, plays

 MUKHERJEE, TNN Print  Email  Discuss Share Save CommentText:He is 
 forthright. She is soft-spoken. Put the two singers together on a show and 
 what you get in return is a lot more thanAbhijeet Bhattacharyaentertainment. 
 
 For, Abhijeet Bhattacharya then is at his witty best and Alka Yagnik gets 
 back at him with a fiesty style. The singers are yet again playingjudges, on 
 a music reality show for children for which they are presently conducting 
 auditions across the country. We bring to you a sneak peek of the leg 
 pulling, PJs, friendly taunts and more, from the audition spots, that they 
 say is the basis of their ‘strong friendship.’ 
 
 “Abhijeet keeps bugging me, but I always forgive him,” smiles Alka. To 
 which, Abhijeet laughs, “Actually she falls short of words to pull my leg. 
 And then, I wear stockings, which don’t let her reach my legs.” Says 
 Alka, “Initially I used to listen to him but now I have stopped paying heed 
 to what he says. And, at times when he goes overboard, I ask him to shut 
 up.” But what about the times when the bantering results into a verbal 
 duel? “Then, I prove my point like an advocate would,” says Abhijeet. 
 Adds Alka, “I just listen to him like a judge would.” 
 
 Okay, and how is it training and judging children, we ask them. Says Alka, 
 “It’s quite easy to work with kids. Their talent is raw and that helps 
 in experimenting with their voice. However, too much pressure can be bad for 
 them,” says Alka. As for Abhijeet, he decides to play the prankster. He 
 sends in a boy dressed as a girl to the girls’ audition room (see pic on 
 top right) where Alka is conducting auditions. After a while Alka sees 
 through the prank and sends the boy out with a message for Abhijeet. ‘Bahar 
 ja ke bata do ki yeh sab harkatein mere saath nahi chalengi.’ She adds, 
 “Abhijeet ka dimag bohot shaitani hai.” 
 
 We change the topic and get the two to talk on the Indian music industry 
 finally finding its well-deserved place on the international map, little 
 knowing, that this too would lead to an argument. Says Abhijeet, “There is 
 no need for Indians to rejoice at Rahman’s (AR Rahman) Oscar win. Slumdog 
 Millionaire wasn’t an Indian movie, yeh toh kewal haddi milne se khush hone 
 wali baat ho gayi. Its music was fairly average.”Alka (sang Ringa Ringa in 
 the flick) retorts, “Rahman is a world-class musician and he should have 
 got international recognition much before. Slumdog's music is very good. 
 Yahan toh sau muh aur sau baatein hoti hain. India would flourish more if 
 Indians don’t squander their energy in mindless criticism or gossip.” 
 
 And yet, in between all this both ‘partners in fight’ insist that this 
 nok-jhonk strengthens their friendship, besides creating a positive 
 atmosphere on the show. “There’s so much pressure on us and tempers run 
 high when the show is on, so I feel such interactions help in keeping the 
 spirits high,” says Abhijeet, adding, “Sometimes, it seems the 
 competition is between Alka and me.” Says Alka, “We don’ t come 
 prepared to be sarcastic.” Hmm... so how about exercising their sharp wit 
 on a comedy show? “That’ s a good idea,” says Abhijeet and as usual 
 Alka doesn’t approve of Abhijeet’s idea! Well, friends don’t have to 
 agree on everything, right?

[arr] Rahman’s dream

2009-04-23 Thread A.R.Rajib

Musician AR Rahman thinks that Indians should stop talking about their 
traditions and start contributing to its greatness. In an interview with 
CNN-IBN, he talked about his music conservatory, where he will groom the next 
breed of composers.

We only celebrate what is tradition which is great, which is fantastic. But 
what have you contributed? demanded Rahman. Rahman founded the K M 
Conservatory to churn out students with musical excellence matching 
International standards.

Composers from here like me and Ilayaraja sir, anybody, who wants to work with 
an orchestra with full symphony orchestra - we had to go abroad and spend 
thousands of dollars, explained Rahman. However, today students from India and 
abroad can come to the K M Conservatory and learn both Indian and Western 
classical music, including a range of musical instruments from the cello to the 
drums.

There is a preparatory course for beginners, a foundation one for serious 
pursuers, apart from this there is also a three year degree course in 
collaboration with the Middlesex University. Most importantly, the conservatory 
also aims at reviving dying musical traditions.

Though we want to concentrate on instruments that are dying like violin and 
brass and woodwinds and everything, people are more interested in piano and 
composition and voice and all that stuff. We are also looking at areas where we 
don't have players like brass and woodwinds and so many instruments for which 
we used to have players before, in the older generation but not anymore, he 
said.

Fellow Rahmanics, this show , Airtel Super Singer, has assumed a good coverage 
among Tamil Nadu audiance and Vijay winning it will be a victory of a ARR fan, 
AN OFFICIAL ARR FAN :))). So I request each one of you to atleast send one SMS, 
just one atleast , to  57827 and message it as SS18...

Gopal, if possible make this as a default footer in all our messages from the 
group for the next couple of days.

Bye,
Karthik

Subject: [arr] Re: Super singer - 2 more ARR songs by our member VijayNarain




Hi group,
It's my pleasure to say that I've reached the final few in Airtel Super Singer 
2008, on vijay tv. And most of the songs I've sung in this competition have 
been ARR sir's songs. To the extent that everyone acknowledges it on the show 
as well, that I'm a die hard Rahmaniac :D

I have dedicated my perfomances in the wild card round to ARR sir and all his 
fans, and all three songs that i've sung in this round are boss's :)

Of course, only one finalist will be selected from the current 5 contestants, 
and this would be based on audience votes. Do watch the show, and if you like 
my performance, I request you all to support me by voting for me. Even if I do 
not go on to become a finalist, the music shall continue always :)

To vote, sms SS18 to 57827
or logon to http://vijay.indya.com/supersinger08/vote/contest_vote.asp
Multiple votes for the same contestant are allowed.

Do watch today's episode at 9 PM IST or if you miss it, tomorrow at 1 PM.

I'll post my experiences on the show, and the amount of influence sir's music 
has had on me, after i'm done with the show. Been ages since I posted to the 
group...

Cheers!!
Long live ARR!!
R Vijaynarain!!

 In the wild card round, he performed 3 ARR songs, 2 of which have already 
 been telecast on Monday and Tuesday, and one more rocking performance will be

 Yes... one person

[arr] Now ARR is truly international..call him A.R

2009-04-23 Thread Rahmaniac™
I see in one of the interview, he like non-indians calling him A.R than spell 
his whole name (Because they screw up the name)
So, let's start mentioning A.R before non-indians, because, thats the way WORLD 
gonna see/name him in future!

just saw NAB 2009 video...good to see A.R speaking lot of tech before 
techies...lot of STUFF in his brain!

 *Raavan*, I
   had to record at night. I did not get time to practice for that.
  
   It's not that Rahman works only at night. If there is work pressure, he
   records during the day too. But he prefers dubbing during the night.
 Rahman
   was very nice to me. He sings a song and shows you. He also gives you a
   detailed briefing -- like if he wants to hear your laughter in the
 song, and
   all those details. He appreciates your work if you have sung well and
 pushes
   you to do better.
