small things such as this radioshow if done to perfection, are adequate enough - it took me an entire 2-3 months to organise this - and there are limitations
even if a few handful of people who have never heard of IR's music get to listen to it, and raise their eyebrows thats a good start
hollywood is a different beast - a fortress shielded by myriad agencies, groups, forums all of whom cater and nurture locally grown talent
to be honest, Hollywood does not need IR !
and IR does not need Hollywood either!

thats what I meant
if you ask me, I would say, we dont have original talented composers actually doing music the way it should be done - in India! barring IR, and a few others, we might end up actually hiring someone from outside, at this rate of borrowing samples/loops!
Irir, my opinion on this, what you said is true in all fields among indians. The education system doesnt develop creativity and our belief system forces us not to. You are told to study, you are told to get 100%, you are told to write IIT-JEE, you are told to find a job, you are told to go to US or other country, you are told to get GC. Please read "you are told to" as your parents told you or peer pressure forces you".Quote:

irir and njv, well said.
