I think Kalpana has sung couple of songs for IR. I remember one in Pon Megalai & Adhu Oru Kanakkalam. Not sure though, if she is the same Kalpana. Rakkamma.com shows 2 songs under her name: in Dhanush & Thambi Pondatti.
I think thanni konjam from AOKK is by Prasanna, who is possibly Kalpana's sister
Yes, the humming for Bach's "Bouree" and Thumbi Vaa did not work for me but liked the way she just went for broke :clap:Quote:

I didnt understand whats so "you too?" about the news. If he could sign up a YSR, why not a GVP?Quote:

There was a news a while back that Bala was going to go for ARR. Now this. Let's see.
True! But then, when a director can take YSR, he can take GVP as well. I mean, whats the point in who the composer is, when it is not by IR anyway.Quote:

To IR: Bala's departure is nothing but good riddance. At least, he doesn't have to stomach all the silly and inane stuff that is thrown at him during the BGM phase.
I am sure even Yuvan might have got bored doing the silly flick Avan Ivan--a movie that had no logic or continuity thru out.
Didnt IR reject Bala when he came to him for this movie and Nandha as well? I think thalaivar wanted Bala to continue with Yuvan but he had other ideas. But i wunt be surprised if Bala comes back to IR if he has another challenging story.
ursmusically Suresh had tweeted that 'Happy' trailer was shown in PVR, Bangalore and that the BGM score in trailor was lovely. I am now quite optimistic of the movie's release. But when will they release the music?
And you can hear the 'Happi' trailer music here: http://www.backgroundscore.com/
Suresh & suresh, Thanks thanks thanks !
It seems IR has not signed any movie after Dhoni..
Is it to due with 70 year syndrome ???
Doesnt matter! even if he quits, it doesnt really matter!Quote:

And I dont think he will quit before hitting that 1000 milestone!
I sincerely hope that he doesn't stop. I am somehow certain that he won't. Going by the couple of songs in 'thandavakone', 'Sreeramarajyam' and now 'Snehaveedu' you can clearly see he is in top form. The orchestration is having the zing, the new jazz sound is lovely to listen to and the imagination is in full force. So no stopping him. I am sure he will sign more films. If you see after the deluge of 2009, 2010 had only 2 films. This year we have had quite a few albums and still have 'Happy' and the Marathi album to come out. So next year can be lean but I don't think he will stop.
Clarification: When I said it doesnt matter, it means he has already given us a bounty and it doesnt matter even if he wants to retire. I doubt if he wants to. and yes, he is very much in form. But just that it would be perfect if he comes up with instrumental albums as well (instead of devotional ones - I liked few devotional albums, but they anyday cannot be compared with the colossal work on HTNI & NBW).
+1 to Raagas' post.However, if he does instrumental, I wish he does it on a musical theme, The instrumental album based on Guru(malayalam) bg score isn't that good.Mainly, the complaint is the rapid change of mood in these instrumentals. For instance, as a background score, these quick mood changes in instrumentation within the 4-5 minutes of a single piece worked in Guru. But they don't work when you listen standalone as an album.I also have a partiality towards HTNI over NBW mainly because the whole origin of man, evolution of sound through the ages thingy is too distracting in NBW. I don't want that grand an attempt.Thiruvasagam was stupendous but as raagas pointed, I don't want another of those devotional married to WCM concept. That is, no devaaram, divya prabhandham or old testament, please!What is my point net-net? I don't know, I am confused. I am happy with NOTHING at all from Him for the rest of his Life. Yet, if you discuss specifics, I end up wishing for this or that. nAn sariyA thAnE pEsurEn? :oops:
Ah, IR's retirement planning, our favorite pastime, this, aint it? Lets leave that to the man, I say, and enjoy whatever good we get!
Plom, theliva, thella theliva, kuzhambi poirkEl. Damager pOttu thAkkurAn pOla irukku. Takitteesi pAlisi, oye!
We are not talking about retirement. We are only talking about new roles :-)

Felt very happy that Bala goes out from Raja..Finally!
I dont care for Bala either. Except for some rawness (probably first hand experience) and some realism, I dont think he is a full-fledged director. There were so many opportunities for music/BGM to help him out but he never gave IR that good an opportunity (in terms of screenplay). He should contemplate why his mentor swears by the boss :-) ..Considering the standards are so bad for direction in our film world he looks good.

Will try ofcourse! I dont have many expectations as such, because it is a play and emphasis will be more on proceedings, actors, dialogues etc. but will still try to record - IF i manage to get the tickets!
But i dont understand - what do they mean by "composed and conducted by". Will IR be there with the orchestra, to conduct it Live? or are they using that phrase, in a casual sense, replacing "Music By". I doubt if the music will be played LIVE.
Ditto doubt here. However, something I'd fancy would be a live orchestra playing along (remember that set of violinists he'd brought along for Mohanbabu's birthday funtion?). The idea isn't very uncommon in theatre, actually. A 10hour long Kannada play (staged by RangAyanA, last year at Mysore), had a small set of musicians playing live music, that was composed by Hamsalekha, who was also present with the group. Though it's difficult to imagine something on these lines from IR, it'd be great if it were to happen! Lets see what's in store.
I believe IR might have played for dramas in the 50s and 60s on tamil stage - well, at second tier events possibly. You know, the ones in front row playing the harmonium score live...
Yes, a home-coming of sorts. We've heard the man himself speak about playing the harmonium and singing for plays and commie stage talks/shows; days of a young warrior wanting to burst into the battle scene. Now what remains to be seen is how the old and battered warhorse treads this path.
MasterPiece appadinnu oru program oditrukku Jaya TV la, right now(4.00 pm 5th OCT) Nannan naa na naa music oda making, thalai conduct panrathu, team/crew interview ellaam podraanga.
