this is something i found in an old rediff article / chat.
Siv (Mon Aug 17 1998 13:36 IST) Mr Rahman, I thought you wanted to clear up the controversies surrounding the following -- do you think that the usage of synthesized sound makes a song seem less creative. For example, with systhesized beats, other artistes could have used the same beats. in this case, listeners may mistakenly think that the whole song was copied. Like the rhythm in Telephone manipol from Indian (many of my friends in the US commented that the song sounds like 'I saw the sign' from Ace Of Base, even though the tune was different) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- A R Rahman (Mon Aug 17 1998 13:40 IST) Siv: There was a trend all over the world for programmers to make music with loops. It was very new and made it easy to do songs. But I have equippped myself better now and I'm able to produce far better rhythm stuff originally. Though the Telephone song was orginal, some of the loops resembled the kind used by Ace Of Base. And these things are avoided completely now. now, to all those ppl blaming arr blindly, would u pls stop it and grow a little bit more ? ------------------------ Yahoo!
