Subject: [arr] TO Vijay Iyer - How ARR Composes tunes ???

This message is mainly to Mr Vijay Iyer and those associated with ARR
closely as working team.

I am keen to know as to how AR Rahman approaches any movie assignment.

1. What comes first in case of ARR, the tune or the lyrics ?
2. What does he prefer, first the tune or the lyrics ?
3. Does he keep a song bank from which the movie producer chooses
some or all of his songs ? OR do the producers demand all new tunes ?
4. During actual recording, say for a duet, are 2 or more singers
present at the same time or they record individually as per their
lines ?
5. Does ARR use substitute singers to present the song to the main
singer as a guideline ?
6. If he gets inspiration of a tune, how does he store the notations,
that is, does he use a paper and pencil or directly goes to the
recording equipment and records the tune on a walkman or laptop ?
6. When do the musicians ( instrument ) and chorus singers record
their parts ? At any given time, how many participate in the
recording process?

As a keen follower and fan of ARR's art, I am keen to know the
logistics of song recording ( what goes behind the scene ). So if the
information requested is not a secret one, I request those close to
this process with the BOSS to enlighten us.

I understand that Rahman himself reads some of the messages of this
group. I hope he goes through this one and answer to my questions if
he can.

But to answer, if he has to spend time and that means recording one
song less, then I feel, these questions are better left un-unswered !

SO VIJAY IYER, YOU DO THE HONOURS !!!

Best regards
Dinesh Vaidya
