Maestro Ilayaraja was the main attraction of the audio launch of Vamsi’s latest cinema ‘Anumanaspadam’. EAPT (Entertaining Arts and Performance Theater) banner is producing this film. Vamsi and Ilayaraja team up again after a gap of over decade. Aryan Rajesh and Hamsanandini played main leads. Audio of this film was launched by Ilayaraja at a function arranged in Ravi Narayana Reddy auditorium in Jubilee Hills on the morning of 13 January 2007.
K Raghavendra Rao, EVV, Aswini Dutt, Gemini Kiran, KC Sekhara Babu, Koti, Keeravani, Devi Sri Prasad and RP Patnaik attended this function as guests.
Producer Satish Tati said, “My dream of producing a film in the combination of Ilayaraja and Vamsi is coming true after 15 years. I am satisfied as we succeeded in making a good film.”
Another produce Jai Arnala said, “Film has turned out to be very good. It will be another musical hit in the combination of Vamsi – Ilayaraja.”
MM Keeravani said, “Ilarayaja is the most powerful and influential music director. I got inspired by him. I always wanted to sing in Ilayaraja music direction.”
At this moment Ilayaraja responded by singing a song and asked Keeravani to join in the rendering.
Koti said, “I worked as a guitarist at Ilayaraja for a few songs. We composed 100s of songs using the beats given by Ilayaraja. The combination of Ilayaraja and Vamsi is impeccable.”
RP Patnaik said, “Ilayaraja is an inspiration to many music directors like me. I feel fortunate to have sung ‘Chirugali veechene’ song for Sivaputrudu film from Ilayaraja.”
Devi Sri Prasad said, “I don’t keep photographs of deities in my studio, instead I keep a photograph of Ilayaraja as I regard him as the God. Our lives would not be the same if not for Ilayaraja. I feel extremely fortunate to share the stage with the maestro.”
EVV said, “I worked with Ilayaraja for Aa Okkati Adakku film. I am a huge fan of Vamsy. He came to film industry four years before me. Each and every film of Vamsi offer variety. There is so much to learn from him. I wanted to produce this film, nobody came forward. I am happy that my son Rajesh is doing male lead.”
K Raghavendra Rao who never spoke in any public function said, “If Ilayaraja is Jagadeka Veerudu, then his music is Athiloka Sundari.”
Music starts when speech stops – Maestro Ilayaraja
Responding to the praises heaped on him Ilayaraja said, “I do not attend functions because everybody ends up praising each other. There will not be any criticism. I attended this function for producers and director Vamsi. But here also everybody praised me. It is not important how much music we know. Music should know us. If you reverse a sentence in any language, there will be no meaning. But if you alter and play with ‘SaRiGaMaPaDaNi’ it will be meaningful and pleasant. Nobody is capable to giving certificate to music. We can only adore music. I don’t want to speak about myself. The music should speak. People who listen to music should speak. Music starts when speech (words) stops.'
Madhura Entertainment bought the audio rights.
"Rela rela" sounds like "oyilalo oyilalo" from Guna! I mean it is 'that' impressive!
"nenu veithki" - the pallavi is sweet, vintage IR - the overall feel is simple, breezy 80s style melody, but with IR written all over it - but NO surprises here - the style of composition veers towards the feel of compositions in "Kadhal kavidhai" - am still trying to figure out what is it that I was hoping to hear which is missing!
"prathidinam" - even if its a tune reused, maybe its coz shreya goshal is behind the mike, it still feels new all over
"kuyilalo" - tune is IRish - but synth appears to be KR style and the arrangement is again IRish
"mallelo ilesa" - starting sounds like a variant of "andha kandamani" from virumandi! and the tune is again 80s style IR melody - the pallavi is pretty ordinary, but the charanam tune is interesting
"ra gumma" - is what IR would come up with given a certain situation for/in a movie! given the context of the movie, it SHOULD be a perfect fit - enough eerie sounds and perfect rhythmic pacing - cross between 'kandamani'(virumandi), 'thondru thottu (avadharam)' and 'kattukkulley' (geethanjali) - a winner! I love it!
overall, its a kind of an album that IR would have composed during his spare time in the 80s! I mean, it has all the essential components of an IR album, but it wont take your breath away!
even for a junk movie like "Ashwamedham", the album (even today) takes my breath away! no use of synth, but amazing counterpoints and western classical elements in the interludes (listen to "seethakalam"), the stunning "yen debba" (dharmavathy ?), the heavily orchestrated "o prema" (one of my alltime favaorites - ah! the multilayered strings ,indian percussion, the chorus etc)
am also quite happy tat IR is using Shreya often - she is a rare find and she will go places if properly groomed - would love to see IR using her for a pop, or, ghazal album! - one of the never-ending desires of a HCIRF
My observations from the first listening,
1. Happy to see IR use a mirudhangam after a long time
2. Mesmerizing arabic/turkish prelude in "Kuilalo"
3. Sonu has a done an amazing job in "ra gumma"
Overall a good album I would say. Telugu folks will love the album I bet. But overall I feel the absence of something. Maybe its the soul, strings and symphony that we are used to from IR :roll:
Jaya TV again going to telecast the "andrum indrum" show by today evening 6'0 clock. If any one is having the facility to record it pls do it as Jaya TV is unlikely to bring the DVD version.
