Raja composes for Cheran's next - Maya Kannadi. considering Panju Arunachalam is the producer, it was expected. But Sify quotes cheran as saying that IR is composing for him for the first time! Did'nt they work together Desiya Geetham?

Ya, me too was wondering about that
OK, other than a couple of average projects in TFM (madhu, mAyakkaNNAdi, nAn kadavuL etc.) and MFM (sathyan anthikkAd/Mohanlal combo movie), Raja is probably not signing up (or not getting signed up for) many film assignments...
Considering his ever-strong enthu to create music, though slowly advancing in age but now without much respo w.r.t. kids as all are married and settled, Raja must be into something...if the letters posted on raaja.com is a pointer, he must be seriously considering his next non-film album...(HTNI, NBW, TiS varisaiyil)...
What music do DF'ers want him to do for that project? (Please let's not discuss about funding / marketing etc. Let that be left to experts / professionals whom he can sign up with...and probably work for some initial fixed / further variable kind of compensation)...
Let's just discuss musically what can be suggested to be his next (ad)venture?
My choice:
-a full fledged pure instrumental (fresh melody lines), with 100% artists from TN (preferably budding - may be from music schools / colleges or disabled groups like visually impaired etc. but those who play impeccably...may be even a couple of child prodigies), with many movements that may / may not have pauses in between but support a single overall theme...The main instrument should be piano (IR hasn't given much importance to this grand instrument in his earlier instrumentals...and IMHO, one can listen to just piano alone, with no accompaniment even - for hours repeatedly for years without getting bored) & with some special Raja sangathis...the focus can even be TN country life, but with brilliant piano instrumentals...something like that...they can even plan a silent 45 min. visual to accompany later on DVD...may even have a touching storyline to support...record it in some contemporary studio in Chennai, with 100% real instruments but great acoustics...(may be work with ARR as partner in this regard)...
Please post your imaginations...
the topic has already been discussed a little before, check this

Thanks for posting the link, vijayr...I remember that thread but was lazy to search...Some good discussion there...
This is what I want from IR, along with donating diamond hands for a temple I want him to donate money to Tsunami relief, Cancer relief etc. Also part of the money he earned through Jaya TV telethon to some good welfare projects. So for I can hear more noises than outcome from him.
App Engine,
I agree.. Except the last part ..
As i always feel art to be a spontaneous thing.. I might be wrong here.. Once you start polishing it , it's more a science than a Art.. Understand that in today's world, that is not practically possible.. Songs are tuned, rehearsed, arranged and recorded ( some even say today's MD's make sure it sounds good with the bass pronounced even on low end cassette recorder before they release it..) until they think it is good...
Somehow I feel, atleast for me, it loses its pristine quality once you "master" it.... Even IR said in a interview .." Isai enbathu .. manathil irunthu thaana veli varanum.. Thatti thatti podaruthu isai alla ..".. My view is the same..
Art is a natural thing.. some people are born with some talents ( music , dance etc..)..." the american usage " natural " is a perfect way to think abt it..
Once you practise, perfect it , then it loses its majesty.. This is like the sketches that cartoonists do ..on the spot.. spontaneous.
Even though IR also perfects his recording, I think the % of efforts to make it "perfect/master" it are much less compared to other MDs..
Infact i have always wanted to listen to the original Harmonium version of the all the IR tunes.. THough w/o instruments i would love that more than the final recorded version.
My 2 cents
Cheers

I saw the trailor of Amirtham in Jaya TV, music by Bhavaratharini. There are two beautiful songs sung by Maestro. One song called Sri Ranganathan is amazing.
