Re: [arr] ARR RECORDINGS AT LATE NIGHT

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 22:47:21 -0800

Hi,
 
Typically, a r r's office calls up the artiste and the producer and informs them of the recording date and an approximate time. The producer's office then arranges for travel (air ticket) and stay for the artiste at Chennai. Once they are in Chennai, they co-ordinate with a r r's office to find out when theya re supposed to be at the studio and a studio vehicle is sent to fetch them from the hotel. There's Hotel Aditya just a stone's throw from a r r's place where most stay. (I was offered to be put up there too!!).
 
Interestingly, a lot depends on a r r's mood at that time. The genius that he is, its quite possible that a new idea takes shape in his mind and he starts working on it making the artiste who came for the original track wait. I know of a female singer from Bombay who flew down to Chennai for a session and every evening when she would get ready to go the studio, she'd get a call saying its postponed since they were busy with another track. Finally on the 4th day, she sang her song.
 
Kailash Kher went to Chennai at least 10 times just to sing 2 lines 'Mangal Mangal' in different styles and pitches. He had no clue of what was happening or what the song was since the lyrics and the rest of the song were not developed. Finally the 11the time, he sang the complete song in bits and pieces and didnt know wehre the Mangal Mangal part would fit in....but when he heard the final mix, he was zapped !!
 
Thats the magic of a r r !!!
 
Cheers

Hi we like to know unlike other MDs why the boss always records very late in the night causing inconvenience to others (technicians, instrumentalists & singers). Though it is comfortable for him according to himself & his own circle of pple, definitely it will not be comfortable for others whether it is gents or ladies as they have to compromise it like a shift night-duty in other offices. But they are compromising only for the skills of arr. Otherwise if it is any other MD they would turn down the offer of recording late in the night as disturbing their routine habits & regular time-table may not be that easy. Why this happens and how a recording procedure begins & ends, from composing tunes to calling the singers and the singers who come from outside chennai, how they make it, where they stay. will they spend a day or two for these recordings. Will there be a break (lunch break, snacks break at night or warming up) between recordings or at one go ? how this happens in case of other MDs? please guys who all know proper informations about these, post your knowledge and views.
thanx, cheers & wishes raam
