Let's hope Raja has composed tunes on Jayaram's houseboat in the backwaters for the Sathyan movie. We will then get a fabulous song like 'Mellai Onnu' :)
Suresh,
:)
Rather I want one more of a "Mandhaara poo mooli.." kind !
suresh and raja_fan, no offence but I hope Satyan gets what he wants more than we getting Mandharappoo and Melle onnu :-)

I did see this interview long back and i agree that IR did clarify that he never labelled other composer's music as Pop-Corn music. I am glad he did that. Yet, my only reservation was that, despite this interview, there were ocassions when he said that he can cook kitchen feasts but listeners only are opting for popcorn. Or probably, this whole popcorn argument got magnified because of repeated articles/quotes about this topic.
Now, probably he might have also referred to Feast = classical form and PopCorn = peppy foottappers. but that is also unlikely, since he himself is a master at peppy numbers and atleast in my opinion, i would rate his foottapping peppy numbers as Feast only and not as fastfood, although it caters to fastfood generation. Like i said before,disapproving a certain form of music (computer music) or anything out-of-his-scheme-of-things,is something which i dont like him doing. And mind you, i am not disagreeing with him at all.I very much agree that people might flock towards popcorn music.and he is 100% right, when he says that. My only objection was -'dont disapprove something, when you yourself give in, into it, sometimes... or when your own disciples (his sons) are part of it'. i expressed same thought before, that i wish he kept his opinions to himself, in a dignified manner.
Suresh, there are few clips in youtube, in which IR demonstrates synthesizer loops and questions the audience - how can looped rhythms be called as music created by composer. I agree with him 100%, no two ways about it.but then,i dont expect to hear the same in his music.
from what i understand, IR too uses synth-computer-popcorn etc etc in some proportions(hence, popcorn/fastfood labels) and probably he doesnt like people using it completely or extensively (as a fullmeal).i see his point,but he cannot fix a 'mandatory level' for the amount of synth-loops-computer-popcorn used right. It is IR's intelligence that he is using it in certain proportion in his own way to make some beautiful music. But at the same time, it applies to others too. To each, his own, good or bad.
This interview is one of the rare videos in which IR openly said he is not criticizing.wish he took enough care to not let such a notion be formed, in the first place. thats all.
Also, whats peculiar is when the intervewer asked "whats ur words of encouragement for young gen?", he resisted with a weird question" if i dont encourage, will they not succeed?". I agree with the logic, but i dont understand the resistance to say something positively for such a simple question. he could have said something as general and genuine as "practice is important, treat music as divine and work-hard, dont discard the roots, such as classical music etc, because they are foundations". it could have been so simple, straight and nice.
AFAIK, any kind of 'musical' output, that has no discernible pattern/structure, which one can attribute to the composer's ability/effort is 'popcorn' stuff - meaning such kind of music does NOT require a composer to do much - of late, am hearing a lot of rap style tracks - irrespective of who the composer is, this use of rap-style elements does not augur well IMHO - even I can compose rap stuff, whats the big deal ?
"avan kaiyya pudichhaaan, naan ava kaadhai kadichchen, avan adhai pudhichaan, naan idhai adichaaen, come on come on, pudi, pudi" - rap style elements are so easy to write words to since they have no specific pattern, and one can simply read them out
I can specifically point out the tracks, but there will be adidhadi in the hub, given the composers who repeatedly come up with such tracks
IMHO, IR does have a right to refer to such music as popcorn music - because, its something anyone can do, without any effort whatsoever - to say tats what the makkals like/prefer to hear is hogwash and irresponsible on the part of the composer
its becoming a trend to have an album with at least one track thats rap style even if the album has a good melody - probably thats part of a cleverly packaged marketing strategy
no wonder, when Mysskin approached IR, IR asked him "ennaiyya, 'anjathey' padam paattellaam hit aamey ? adhu maadhiri kutthu paattu pottu tharattaa ?" or something like that!
Even I was a bit curious to see if he says something on the lines you said, but something in me told that he is going to respond the way he did :).Quote:

If he answers diplomatically we will put it in the normal font, if he says something else, we will blow up the font and put it in the cover and sensationalize it.
I think his point was that he is not so big as to give advice to others. just a bit of humility and a statement that the art is bigger than personalities. A "normal" response would have implied saying that "yes, I am superior and fit enough to give you advice" which he avoided (even though he is more than fit to do that).
