Wow ! And this is the main reason why we never get bored of any AR track as every song provides the versatility of different genres and usage of new and old acoustic/electronic/vst instruments.
Great post, Bro! Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue ________________________________ From: ichord <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, 17 September, 2009 12:32:57 AM Subject: [arr] Rahman - The True Musical Alchemist!!!! Forgive me for yet another post, but I wanted to bring up an amazing observation. When I combined the songs of Blue and Delhi 6 on one CD, having one song from each album alternating with another, the experience was jaw dropping and I was awe struck. In my opinion, two masterpieces interwoven together on a musical journey that only Rahman can create, all within a year! Just between these 2 albums alone, here are the genres of music that I could pick up: Jazz Smooth Jazz Bhangra Hip Hop Diva Pop Reggae Latin/Carribean Sufi Thumri/Indian classical Rap Metal Soft Rock Techno Trance Indian Folk Western Folk (Western folk I picked up from the unique use of background acoustic guitar in Dil Gira Dafatan) Scottish or Chinese (Dil Gira Dafatan's Interlude) Devotional Western classical/symphony Opera Now between the albums, look at the range of acoustic instruments( not including diverse range of electronic and other percussive sounds): Electric guitar (lots of variations in sound within this category!) Acoustic guitar (variation in use and style - rhythm, slow arpgeggio) Trumpet Accordian Harmonium Tabla English Horn Tympani Strings Flute Piano Brass Shehanai Mandolin I stil may be missing out on some genres or instruments. It's truly one of the most unique qualities of ARR as a composer...being able to mix so many world musical genres, influences, instruments, styles into his compositions so seamlessly into this beautiful global aural tapestry.... a true global musician and musical alchemist!!! !
