Re: [arr] ’ 6 Min AR Medley Blast ! ’ | A n experimental Fun Mix

2009-06-15 Thread Sreekrishnan R

Me too enjoyed well, editing those 'transitions' though there are mismatching 
of the tempo and pitch. Did it for fun.. Hope I can edit a better medley 
without harming the beauty of AR Songs' amazing interludes alone, next time. 
Insha Allah. :-)

Thanks for listening dearest friends.
Thanking you all for all the suggestions 'n encouragement here 'n via personal 
mails. :-)

God Bless everyone.

Nice Compiliation bro. Wish, you could have reduced the timing for each bit. 
 
May be this could be used by Rapport for the next concert.

Just an experiment dearest friends. 
Tracks are decided earlier. Just tried to arrange it. So it was a challenge 'n 
fun at the same time to edit it.

I know there's so much to improve. So your valuable comments are welcome. :-)


PS. Just did it for fun. There's no wrong intention . please.

both are good in their own ways..the approach might differ, but the quality is 
the same..both are musical genius incomparable and unquestionable. Raja does 
not need an Oscar to hail him, he is beyond oscar.

 Interview with Raihanna
 
 Q :- Your opinion about Illayaraja and A.R. Rahman ?
 
 Music of Raja is melodious than the flute. Rahman's music is beautiful, fast
 and rustic music. Raja used to act fast in the arena of music. He can
 compose many songs within the same day. But Rahman isnt like that. He
 sometimes, takes days to complete one particular song.
 
 Raja has a very seperate high pedestal in Music. Some of his select songs
 are very special. The songs that get released out of Rahman are less in
 number. But many of his songs are very famous.
 
 Raja is very famous in South India. But Rahman has crossed leaps and bounds

2009-06-15 Thread Gayathri Chandrakasan
Probably being ARR's sister, she didn't want to be seen gushing about her 
brother's talent and success. 

And I don't think it's weird for her to praise Ilayaraja. Being musically 
inclined herself and growing up listening to Ilayaraja's songs as many of her 
age group obviously did, it's not surprising that Raihana have Ilayaraja in 
high regards. On the same note, her opinion on Raja does not, in any manner, 
potray ARR as any less talented than Ilayaraja.

Just got this info through Google: Link: http://www.carmenrizzo.com/

Two-time GRAMMY Nominee, electronic musician  underground darling Carmen 
Rizzo, is a frequent fixture in album credits as a producer, mixer, remixer, 
musician, and co-writer for a wide range of influential artists including Seal, 
Coldplay, Alanis Morissette, Paul Oakenfold, BT, Tiesto, Jem, Esthero, Ryuichi 
Sakamoto, Cirque du Soleil, KD Lang, and Pete Townshend of The Who, the mention 
a few.
Also known as a recording artist releasing two Electronic driven albums “The 
Lost Art Of The Idle Moment” (Lab/Universal)  “Ornament Of An Impostor” 
(Electrofone Music) featuring collaborations from Jem, Kate Havnevik, Esthero 
to Grant Lee Phillips. Carmen also co-founded the highly influential group

-In April I flew to Las Vegas (on a private jet!) where I did a show at The 
Hard Rock Hotel (The Joint) with AR Rahman who was also on the bill playing for 
the Digidesign party. Paul McCartney played the same club the night before.

 at the Oscar ceremony. “I had a show for Shivarathri at the Mookambika
 temple and was praying for Rahman. The next morning, it was a double treat
 for me. My sister called me to inform that Rahman had won the Oscars and
 that the Tamil Nadu government was to confer the Kalaimamani title on me,”
 he recalls.

 When I could not attend his post-Oscar show in Kerala, Rahman sent me a
 message saying ‘Don’t ditch me next time.’

 Sivamani says that he will be joining Rahman in the shows that are to be
 held at Dubai, Kolkata and Chennai.
 Known for his ability to innovate, he says, “I am busy rehearsing with my
 boys, especially for the show.”

 Having achieved so much, what’s he looking forward to? “I am trying my

2009-06-15 Thread Vithur
The live performance of GV Prakash was the highlight of the evening. GV as
he is known among friends became the third and youngest music director to
perform live on stage after Ilayaraja and AR Rahman. In fact AR Rahman’s
mother Kareema Begum along with her daughters was present to cheer him.

Another outstanding performance came from actor Dhanush and his wife who
sang the peppy number *Un Mele Aasadhaan…* along with Andrea. There was a
fashion show, a Kalari performance, Chenda melam by women from Kerala, a
classical dance by actress Poorna choreographed by Sivasankar master.

2009-06-15 Thread mmykhel
I dunno which Project he is working on --Must be Couples retreat --






But he already performed with our boss?





Recently I was in NYC where I performed with Oscar winning Slum dog Millionaire 
composer/artist AR Rahman for the Time Magazine top 100 most influencing people 
party at Lincoln Center. AR was on the top 100 list. Other performs for the VIP 
party were John Legend. Guest included Michelle Obama, Ophra WInfrey, Barbara 
Walters, Arianna Huffington, Stella McCartney to mention a few. Secret Service 
was in full effect!

-In April I flew to Las Vegas (on a private jet!) where I did a show at The 
Hard Rock Hotel (The Joint) with AR Rahman who was also on the bill playing for 
the Digidesign party. Paul McCartney played the same club the night before.

2009-06-15 Thread nishantsgarg
@ Madhavan

I guess 30 seconds clipping would have not been enough because there are 
certain parts in the track where the unwanted noise is more prominent. Anyways 
need not worry about these specific tracks getting pirated because I guess 
downloading may be one of the only few ways to get these. CDS for both Dharam 
Yodha and Roja are not available in the market, they may be a really few old 
stocks of Roja somewhere but you won't find Dharam Yodha CDs anywhere. 

Now getting back to the topic, could you find any difference in the tracks I 
have uploaded?

[arr] If ARR was never around, what would the music be like today?

2009-06-15 Thread Chord
We all know how pathbreaking and influential ARR's stamp on the film music 
industry in India has been.  Mindblowing innovations of sound, style, form, and 
genre totally revolutionized Indian film music and we see the trends following 
even today.  Various musical directors from Moitra to SEL to Bharadwaj follow 
the Rahman formula quite distinctly, while credit must be given to their own 
unique sounds and styles and contributions.

Let's pretend that ARR never came around to films in the 1990s (thank God that 
didn't happen).  For a while, perhaps, the Anu Maliks and Nadeem Shravans would 
continue to rule the roost until various new age directors came along.  But, 
even with advanced sound technology and progressive thinking, would these young 
new MDs be as global sounding and sonically creative as we hear them today 
without Rahman's previous paths?  Even with technology, how do you think the 
music would sound today without Rahman having been on the scene? 

This is purely hypothetical and just curious to konw people's thoughts.  
Obviously, Rahman created history and the rest is history.  But, would the 
music scene eventually get around to the style and sound it has today without 
Rahman, or we would be continuing to hear the same stale sounds and styles pre 
1992, esp. up North?

  He was the first person to interview Rahman, and the first ever interview
  of Rahman appeared in India Today.

  He has written in his blog about his interaction with Rahman.
 
  Not sure if it has been posted before!
 
 
  Here's the link for the blog post (It's in Tamil... Scroll down for my

  Translation:
  It was a fine Sunday morning, when I got a call from my friend,
  cinematographer Rajeev Menon, asking if we can meet!
 
  The meeting happened at 5 pm that day. I was then the sub editor of India

  Today, and was handling movies section too. Those days, Rajeev was working
  more on Ad films, than for movies. He told me about a youngster who was
  composing for his ad films - His name is Dileep. He has tremendous music

  sense. He's extremely talented in playing and handling all modern
  instruments. Moreover, Mani sir has signed him on for his next movie, after
  listening to some of his jingles.

 
  Wow.. thats something new, I thought, and collected a pic of Dileep shot
  by Rajeev and his phone number from Rajeev. Next day, I called up Dileep and
  he answered. I introduced myself and asked for a meeting with him. He

  immediately refused saying No sir... No Interviews now! Mani sir has asked
  me not to speak anything about the project!
 
  I retorted - You dont have to speak about the movie; speak about you! I

  would be pleased if India Today publishes details about the new music
  director who is Mani Ratnam's new find.
  I also told him that I'd already collected his photo from Rajeev Menon.

  Finally, later acceded to my request!
 
  The meeting happened at 4 pm. He was not a school kid. He was not yet a
  college student. He seemed to be just in that transition phase, with a shy

  smile on his face! His mom and sister were with him. His mom offered me cake
  and savouries they had purchased from the neighbourhood bakery, for me.
  Coffee followed.
 
  Then, we started talking. He told me a lot - about his father RK Shekar,

  about how music became his full-time job after his father's death, about the
  family background, about the conversion to islam, about his name change! He
  mentioned that the Mani film was a God-given gift for him. He conversed with

  him as though we're very close friends for a long time! He took me to his
  studio and played 2 songs from his new film.
 
  One of those songs was Chinna Chinna Aasai. After listening to it, I

  requested Rahman to play it once more. He was overjoyed and played it again.
  Just this one song is enough to take you to heights of fame, I told him
  and wished him all luck. Other their Mani sir, others connected with the

  film hadn't listened to the songs. I played it just for you. Your words are
  very encouraging, he said and thanked me. When I was leaving, he came out
  till his front gate and bid farewell to me.

 
  One week later, Rahman's mom called me - When can we see my son's photo in
  the magazine, dear brother? I could sense the eagerness and excitement in
  her voice.

  It will hit the stands in 2 days, mother. I'll come and give a few copies
  to you, even before that, I told her.
 
  En-route to my house from office, I visited Rahman's house with 5 copies of

  India Today, and gave it to them. The images of the proud mother and sister,
  smiling and sharing their happiness on seeing Rahman's photo in the
  magazine, still remains fresh in my memories. But, Rahman took this big news

  in a calm and composed manner. With a smile, he thanked me. His humbleness
  was there with him right from that time.
