1. Judging from the above article The jazz accompaniments in Paa(especially Gum Sum) must have been played by Attilo Laszlo.
2. Thalaivar reveals a little bit about how he used to be impatient with musicians during his pre-spiritual days but became better as time went on
3. Hungarians are really impressed with thalaivar. He might possibly be doing instrumental works in the near future with them and slowly move away from the film industry.
If the lyrics is ok with the director, it should be ok with the music director.
The problem with all these 80s raja lovers is they have not moved on with raja, Rather they have stayed there and forgot who raja is.
If any of them actually spent a while trying to bother to listen to his song fully, you will realise he is trying something new everytime. Dejavu might be because of extremely similar situations coming across him everytime but nowadays he tends to focus on BGM more although this year is a little exception.
He has been consistently trying to move away from his manual style of orchestration(partly due to musicians being more costly to find and also lack of it - Scarcity principle at effect) and trying out various implementations of synth with his style.
I think this has been discussed umpteenth times and this year has been a stronger proof of his delving into synthetic orchestration, he is trying to bring out a genuine style which is different from just mere reprogramming of rhythms or adding loops/sounds as song enhancers.
It is quite surprising becos i find nothing different from the 80s raja till today. The style is there and the orchestration is there. Only instruments changed. :D
I dont think he would do that, although I would love it if he does that.Quote:

Knowing thalaivar his heart is always burning to do all the experimentations he wanted to do.

I guessed it from the way his projects are lined up and a mixture of his interview comments.
Kalakunga!! ;-))
This link says album should be available at outlets (Bangalore) starting from Nov 28th.

I picked this from Yahoo groups posted by Dr. Vijay.
He has posted a link about Raja's interview to a Hungarian Newspaper. I am giving those links here

Actually no. If you see most of the artists,especially the ones who are committed to the art,they dont want to quit because it is that art which made them whatever they are.Being into it for years and years,there forms a relationship with the profession/art/scheme of things that they dont want to let go of that relationship,which is a sort of attachment.They might even not do brilliant work but still,they just want to be 'in' it.I mean,I am not saying that IR might not do brilliant work,but just an observation.There were very few composers who made a graceful exit.Most of them just wanted to keep doing whatever they were doing, because of the attachment with that work or liking towards it.And i dont think would exit films.He will keep doing films as long as his physical and mental faculties allow him to.Quote:

The maestro-touch comes through commendably in Ilaiyaraja's re-recording, while Chitra returns with the mellifluous ‘Kundrathu …' strains.
Sanjeevi, the picturisation of PAA theme music (remix) shows people all across the country dancing like AURO character and to the tune (theme remix), so ZOOM (TV) is wondering if it (picturisation) is a marketing gimmick! They need something to talk about...avvalavuthan.

News about the music of forthcoming Kannada film, "Suryakanthi". The critic, a self confessed Raja fan, says the songs are breathtakingly beautiful.
http://www.hindu.com/fr/2009/11/27/s...2750780200.htm
The cause for concern to Raja fan's of his Kannada movies would be the statement, "Chaitanya had the guts to sign Ilaiyaraja even though the industry feels the Kannada films for which he scores music never succeed." The directors 'Aa Dinagalu' was a well made movie with superb music by Raja. Let us hope this film succeeds as well.
The soundtrack is supposed to release this Sat. Waiting eagerly for it.
PR director reacts:
http://www.deccanherald.com/content/...ja-charge.html
"Even though the much-revered poet O N V Kurup or anyone connected with the film refrained from reacting to the charge, hundreds of O N V’s well-wishers took on Ilayaraja’s ‘skewed’ interpretation of the situation. It was in this context that Hariharan said in Chennai on Thursday that Ilayaraja had no such complaints when he was handed over the lyrics. “The verses were meant to go with the marching warriors and not as he wished. Also, it is not his business to decide how the song should be conceived, that’s for me and M T Vasudevan Nair (script writer) to decide,” he said."
Hope this does not lead into his (IR) reduced chances in malluwood.

Once again another misinterpretation :lol2:, looks like all did not manage to read into thalaivar's words properly. Its clear that thalaivar was expressing his creativity on how he made the song reflecting both the lyrics and the actual pain rather than throwing disappointment around.
Hulk,
The opening para of the article clearly says something that Raja did not!!! I don't think anyone has the patience to actually go through the speech. Maybe they would have actually gone through the speech but still write what they want. That is one way to create controversy and that sells papers!!
As one of my friends remarked, Raja does manage to keep himself in news, may not be for the right reasons always :)
I think thalaivar does not come to functions alot because he knows how his words will get switched and swapped even more than a switch case in java. Journalists nowadays are the worst form of demons, they either over exaggerate or over rubbishify whatever they see. :banghead:Quote:

This is what I feel too. If it was a journalist's interpretation, I would not be concerned at all. For that matter, I don't think anyone need to be concerned. I hope this does not get bloated up further.Quote:

Rajasaranam, apdi ellAm kavalai pada vEndAm. Hariharan is not a regular customer for Raja :-).
And there are so many camps in malluwood so this shouldnt hurt much - I dont think, for instance, that Anthikkad will have any problems with IR because of this.
This isn't a good argument....when there's no scope for excellence, why should he compose?Quote:

Let us all instead focus on two upcoming albums.
Suryakanthi on NOV 28(This is the day the album is out on stores officially)
Om Shanti Om on DEC 5(Official Audio Release)

Shankar,
I just don't understand your argument. If we, who are not artists, can criticize Raja left, right and center for scoring for Velu Prabhakaran's movie, for scoring for bad lyrics, for scoring for 'Kannukulle Mannukulle' etc, why is it that a great artist like Raja should keep quite and not say anything about what he felt the scene required? You are very clear that you have the right to demand exactly what you need from Raja but Raja, as a part of the crew, has no right to say what he feels a situation in the movie needs? I think you are taking yourself and your opinion a bit too seriously.
Raja in his speech has not said that the lyrics are bad. He just said that he was expecting something else given his understanding of the scene. Why is this logic so difficult for people to understand? (If there was any criticism in the function it was for the titles 'Superstar' and 'Supreme Star'. )
This was the argument that 'athi medhavis' like Gnani gave to accuse Raja of tuning first and then selecting the lyrics. I am disappointed that a person like you, who knows her music, actually buys into this argument !!!Quote:

2009 is brilliant for me because of Thalaivar and I am still in a trance after his PR and PAA!!!
However , it is my sincere opininon, most of you are wasting time on this Forum.....
Vazhga Thalaivar!!!!
I have been a visitor since 1997 and especially after Kadhalukku mariyathai. It is gratifying to see that Thalaivar's music is still being discusssed in the same venom and passion, as it used to be 12 years ago!!!
Vazhga Thalaivar and his music!!!!
In any case, controversies - as long as they don't get out of control like politicians / rioters etc stepping in - are good fodder :-)
Though there's a strong possibility of net loss for IR in this episode (possible NA gone, a possible good future venture with HH gone etc), the whole thing of "speaking out one's mind" is a good thingy :-)
And, IMO, IR can comfortably afford that at this point of his career :-)
I dont think anything controversial in this,, just check this link,,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rvM...eature=related
app, I dont think he loses much. Hariharan is pushing 72, and his last few outings before Pazhassi Raja were critical and commercial washouts. People make fun of him in kerala that he never succeeds without MT. He is not that influential a figure there.
As for Natl Award, I dont think it is like Oscar where the maker needs to lobby etc. This is a simple function of the committee configuration. No amount of lobbying is going to help if a opinionated bolly figure dominates the committee. Or, if a anti-IR tamil film industry scion happens to head the committee. So, anyway there is only a miniscule chance of IR getting NA for this. Even if Kerala wants to scuttle IR's chances, oru pullum pudunga mudiyaadhu unless one of them happens to head the committee
Gokulam Gopalan is another unpopular figure as well in the Kerala industry. If Mammotty gets pissed off, OTOH, then IR is in trouble...
