Rehman's 3-D effect concert at Bangalore
Bangalore, July 16: A R Rehman's music has always been a treat to the ears but this time it is going to go beyond it--it is going to have a 3-D effect. Come October eigth and music connoisseurs in Bangalore will be in for a musical surprise, with the country's top music composer, Rehman set to electrify the stage with a live musical concert, all packaged with specialised 3-D effects. The Bangalore `3rd dimensional Live Concert', which is part of the world tour launched by the music wizard, would have some parts of the performance with a three-D effect; where the audience could experience a literally live experience, wearing specialised glasses to view the show, Deepak Gattani, CMD of Rapport, a global event company, told reporters here today. "It is very cumbersome to create huge sets while travelling from place to place during a world tour. The visual aspect has to be really large to have that effect. Hence, we decided to capture the hugeness and largeness of the visual side by having a three-D effect," he said. "It is the first time that something like this is being attempted on the global scale. Though people like Peter Gabriels have attempted something like this it was in a confined environment, this is going to be bigger," he said. "It is going to be the application of 3-D live during a musical concert. It is going to have an effect of a virtual reality with some forceful visual effects," he said. Even though all the parts of the concert would not be three-D friendly...some could be watched with the naked eye like any other concert, he said. The concert, to be held at Palace Grounds, will be Rehman's first live performance in Karnataka. "Thirty per cent of the numbers in the show would be new. We will also have artiste Alma from Bosnia and Ani from Armenia, both singing for the musical `Lord of the Rings'", Rehman told reporters here today. Presented by India Classic Arts, the concert would have a troupe of 80 professionals, including renowned artistes like Hariharan, Alka Yagnik, Sonu Nigam, Chitra, Sukhwinder Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Madhushree, Kailash Kher and Sadhana Sargam. Tickets for the concert would be made available from August, the organisers of the show in the city, said. Bangalore will be the only city in India to be part of Rehman's world tour.The other venues where the music composer would perform are London, Birmingham, Sydney and Melbourne, Colombo, Dhaka, Toronto and multiple locations in the US. "Bangalore has been one of my favourite cities and I am happy that I am performing here.My association with Bangalore goes 20 years back when I worked for some films by Vijay Anand," he said. On the three D aspect, he said "We have had music, dance and all the combinations, we wanted something different this time, so we thought why not 3 D."
