irir123 ai vera oru thread la wish panniten.
anyway,

Wish you get more success in this Journey dear irir123.....

irir123,
Great work. We all appreciate your efforts.

'nativity' and all that jazz apart, what the station/show manager wants are tracks with heavy crossover appeal - none of the 'jangu chakku'-like words give that 'appeal' - in fact, scores with as less vocals as possible are what they prefer - another point they highlighted was the 'tinny' sound in IR's recordings - which is something i have always been reiterating - which every other composer is carefully/ consciously avoiding

most interestingly, every single track of IR with a pop/synthetic sound was rejected! even those which we think are good ones (like 'megam kottattum')

tracks that were immensely/immediately liked were :
(i) edho mogam
(ii) edeya bagilu
(iii) how to name it ? main track
(iv) i love mozart
(v) poo poothadhu (mumbai xpress)
(vi) aye zindagi (sadma)

each of the above was glorified no ends by the show manager in his feedback!

will give further updates when the show timings/dates are announced

irir - did you try out GURU with him?

It will be an hour-long program, about 50 minutes of which would be devoted to featuring Maestro.Ilaiyaraaja's music and the remaining 10 minutes talking about the composer, his history etc.

The radio station has an audience of a couple thousand in the Georgia area, but the show also reaches many more listeners in podcast form (it's featured every Tuesday on the website dvdverdict.com).

IR will be unusual for those unfamiliar with him in the US, but film music fans (the primary audience for the show) are largely open to discovering new composers as long as they have good music to offer.

A handful of shows on this radio station spotlighting lesser-known composers before have been well-received.

For starters, it will be just one episode for now - depending on how well-received it is, perhaps they could set up another for the future.

The radio station will focus on cues that have a strong crossover appeal for western listeners, since they know their patrons well.

Keep watching this thread for more information in the next few weeks!

PS: the radio station manager, a connoisseur of film scores, has already been floored by some of the random samples he listened to!
