IR New Albums - Old responses (5 Aug 2006)

Hi Kiru,
Is this audio book on tape or CD, I tried in my local libarary, there was no CD version , I will try to get hold of the tape version once available, who has scored Music for this anyway?
I read the 7 or 8 series autobiographical account of IR written by Kalyan 9 a kannada lyricist , MD) as narrated by IR in a Kannada magazine , for the first time I read IR mentioning about John Williams and MJ ( yes Michael Jackson)

another Digression, since there are new IR albums recently,
the Kannada movie by Bhavatharini as MD,"Geeya Geeya" has some beautiful melodies , three songs are really very nice one solo song she spoilt by siging herself , but great orchestration , doesn't sound IR' ish, I felt it was a perfect mix of IR/ARR, no shades of YSR at all, I think she should try continuing as MD and quit singing for good.

What did he say abt them? When u get some time could u plz fill us in.

Did anyone get to see a clip from the film "Amirdham" on SunTV. It was a clip where Girish Karnad and her daughter meet the hero. The background music for this clip was outstanding. It was real great blend of carnatic and western classical. I did not know who the MD was until I checked the web later. It is Bhavadharini. It was a very commendable effort. I later read the review on Indioaglitz which appreciated the movie and the music. You may want to check it out.

This should be available in your local library.

What is this audio book? dont make us wait. plz break the news

njv,
It is not a big deal. I am referring to the theme music of the BBC Radio version of the Lord of the Rings.
Some IR's music sounds very similar. It probably is not even an inspiration but surely to me it sounds similar.
You should get this in the local library if you are in the US.

This is a very nice and interesting version of the Lord of the Rings, if you like that genre.

I think I have read before about IR's appreciation for John Williams. He cannot do BGM without any reference (for that matter, I think, he starts out with a reference in any field, like say, Kannadhasan for lyrics, MSV for tune etc).
References to MJ was in the context of him asking YSR singing like MJ in some particular context, I dont remember. IR does keep abreast of the latest trends, but not as much buying the latest sample CDs :-) . In one movie he has done a complete english song where the mixing is like that of pop music (read, drums at a very high level). He just did not follow this style in tamil, probably, because he thought it would not be acceptable in our cultural milieu.

`Gold Remi Award' for music score in the craft category at the 38th Annual World Fest, USA ?!

A Telugu album from IR after a long gap.

Sadhana Sargam's "Doorana vinipinche" is the best pick.

Choice of singers is pretty good. Most of IR's current favorites find a place... Sadhana Sargam, Shreya Ghosal, Bhavatarini, SPB, Mano.

But it's kinda surprising to see Udit Narayan singing for IR!

Teja, Udit has already sung the kannada version of "Naan kaanum Ulagam" (movie: Kasi) for IR. It probably is available in musicindiaonline. Also, I think Udit has sung for IR in some old telugu to hindi dubbed movies (chiranjeevi's movies). Its just that he has not sung (Thank God!) for IR in Tamil!

BTW, I saw some promos of TTLS in tamil on SunTV & VijayTV channels. They were showing "Salasalakkum Kaatre" song. IMO, the picturisation (some foriegn girl was the main dancer) was not that good.

thanks,

Krishnan
