great irir123 :D
I might get the actual song list - chosen based on the radio station admin's liking/choice considering their suitability for the show - finalised for the show by this evening - will post the list once I get it
in case I dont, then we will have to wait until Tuesday the 11th May, 2010
Am once again posting the information here:
"WHIE-AM 1320 KHz" - http://www.ontheradio.net/whie, http://www.radio-locator.com/info/WHIE-AM, a radio station devoted to film music scores based in Griffin, GA, USA - will be featuring scores composed by MAESTRO. ILAIYARAAJA on Saturday, the 8th of May, 2010.
The show will be titled "The Sounds and Sights of Cinema" - Special Focus on MAESTRO. ILAIYARAAJA and run for 50 minutes.
WHIE-AM is a small station, and hence, perhaps only those who live in the Griffin, GA area would be able to pick it up.
However, this special show will be available in podcast form (all over the world) on Tuesday, May 11th at http://dvdverdictpresents.com/rss/cinema
The station has 1000s of cinema music loving patrons not only in the US, but all over the world!

Hi all:
the following tracks have been chosen/selected by the WHIE radio station admin based on their crossover appeal, ethnic flavor as well as colorful cues:
"How to Name It" - The House - 7:20
"Modern Concerto" - In the Eyes of a King - 4:00
"Mozart, I Love You" - Don't Steal My Heart - 9:00
"Puthham Pudhu kaalai" - Never Ending Waves - 4:30
"Mandram Vandha" - Silent Symphony - 4:40
"Elangathhu" - Pitha Magan - 6:10
"Ilaya Nila" - Never Ending Journies - 4:40
"Panivizhum malarvanam" - She is Forever in My Thoughts - 4:30
"Edho Moham" - As the Hen Croons - 5:30
"Muthu natramam" - Tiruvasagam in Symphony - for its breathtaking orchestral usage reminiscent of Broadway musicals/opera with fast-paced movements that would appeal to modern audiences as well
the English translation of each film's title was given by me, at the insistence of the program/show manager!
the radio station admin have confirmed that this will not just be a one show thingy, but will be a series of shows and the remaining tracks will be covered subsequently! they are already convinced that most of these tracks will be liked by their patrons!
:clap:
excellent selection :thumbsup:
Nice list irir123...
avanga rasanaiyai pathi yosikaren.......
ராஜபார்வை படம் தானே! பாராட்டுக்கள் ! திறம்பட தொகுத்திருக்கிறீர்கள்! இவை எப்படிப்பட்ட அதிர்வுகளை அமேரிக்கர்களிடத்தில் ஏற்படுத்தப் போகிறது என்பதை தெரிந்துகொள்ள மிகவும் ஆவலோடு காத்திருக்கிறேன்.Quote:

Very impressive list of compositions from you, IRIR123. :clap:
Excited to read the inputs of the listeners...there is so much music out there in the world.. we have very little time to find out and treat us.
Wonderful of them to take your inputs & introduce some of their ardent music fans to a new artist!
Let me grab the soulful compositions of Shri.IR and hit the road to enjoy the serenity of pacific coastline :musicsmile:
aahaa.. Cloudy weather with light drizzle and Shri.IR's sangeetham :swinghead: HEAVENLY!
உறவெனும் புதிய வானில் பறந்ததே இதய மோகம் ....
GOOD JOB, IRIR123,
You treat yourself too! :musicsmile:
vinatha.

check out the podcast - Douglas Clark gives an introduction to IR exactly as I gave it to him!
* Songs are an integral part of the soundtracks of Indian films - and they are all context-driven, and specifically in the case of Maestro.Ilaiyaraaja, the context-specific structuring of the songs takes utmost prominence.
* Having said that, the Maestro, in his 30 years of film music composing has NOT ONLY composed close to 5000 songs composed to 'fit' the mood and context of a given film, he has done equal amounts of voluminous output in terms of the orchestral/instrumental component that goes with a movie.
* However, despite such a phenomenal output of instrumental music, given the strange situation in which there is hardly any market for such music in India, most of his instrumental/orchestral tracks have never been released! it is only in recent years, have they been released, or, some of his instrumental non-filmy works have been used in films as a backdrop.
* RAAGA – is a combination of notes often referring to a certain mood, and feeling or even time of the day – it has its roots in the spiritual culture/tradition of India – but the Maestro, broke all barriers and exposed the flexibility of a RAAGA using it in every possible manner – a distinct hallmark of his creative genius!
கேட்டுவிட்டேன்! அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியை கேட்டுவிட்டேன். mp3 வடிவத்திலேயும் இணையத்திலேயே கேட்கலாம். முதல் முயற்சியே ரொம்ப சிறப்பா அமைந்துவிட்டது என்றே தோன்றுகிறது.
கண்டங்கள் கடந்து ராஜாவின் இசை, அதற்கான மக்களை சென்றடைய ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டது... அத்தகைய அருமையான முயற்சியை தொடங்கி வைத்திருக்கும் IRIR-க்கு கோடி வந்தனம்.
நிகழ்ச்சியின் ஆரம்பப் பாடலே, எப்போதும்போல ரோமங்கள் அனைத்தையும் சிலிர்த்தெழ வைத்துவிட்டது.
Modern Concerto - In the Eyes of a King
இன்னும் சிறந்த தரமான ஒலிப்பேழையை ஒலிக்கச் செய்திருக்கலாம் எனத்தோன்றியது!
venkkiram - pls be content with what i managed to get hold of - its virtually impossible to get a genuinely high quality recording of the "modern concerto" - not my fault!
its in the pursuit of getting good quality MP3s/tracks, that delayed this show by more than 2 months
"Muthu natramam"
இந்தப் பாடலை ஒலிபரப்புவதற்கு முன்பு பேசிய முன்னுரை நன்றாக இருந்தது.

small things such as this radioshow if done to perfection, are adequate enough - it took me an entire 2-3 months to organise this - and there are limitations
even if a few handful of people who have never heard of IR's music get to listen to it, and raise their eyebrows thats a good start
hollywood is a different beast - a fortress shielded by myriad agencies, groups, forums all of whom cater and nurture locally grown talent
to be honest, Hollywood does not need IR !
and IR does not need Hollywood either!

thats what I meant
if you ask me, I would say, we dont have original talented composers actually doing music the way it should be done - in India! barring IR, and a few others, we might end up actually hiring someone from outside, at this rate of borrowing samples/loops!
Irir, my opinion on this, what you said is true in all fields among indians. The education system doesnt develop creativity and our belief system forces us not to. You are told to study, you are told to get 100%, you are told to write IIT-JEE, you are told to find a job, you are told to go to US or other country, you are told to get GC. Please read "you are told to" as your parents told you or peer pressure forces you".Quote:

irir and njv, well said.
