Avatar's bgm sometimes resembles 'Apocalypto' bgm(both are by james..)

<digression>
writer jeyamohan has mentioned the influence of the 1986 roland JAffe film The mission on Avatar - there is a stretch of a prelude to the theme of the untamed land of the tribals in Apocalypto and all of them have the same 'grammar' for tribal music - while the western composers stop at a level with the tribal music, Raaja goes neck deep into it and comes up with carnatic and western Classical music counterpoints and harmony points with the tribal music. Ofcourse noone can touch 'Meenkodi theril' and 'Aasaya kaathula thoodhu' when it comes to conveying the tribal setting sonically. However this topic is worth dissecting and analysing in an extensive fashion.
And there are no seniors here and you can pls stop that come back to ground level where we all are.

What a bad miss for fans like us.........

Jai,

I too unfortunately watched Avatar yesterday. As you mention, the western music directors have a certain grammar and it is enough for them to just convey to the western audience that what you are hearing is tribal music. No one seems to worry about going beyond that in the movies like Raja has done. Anyway can't blame the MD here since the movie itself adheres to the grammar of formulaic cinema.

மிக சரியான வார்த்தைகள் ஜெய்..
ராஜா tribal music ஐ கையாண்டது போல் எவரும் முயற்சி கூட செய்ததில்லை.
குறிப்பாக 'ராசாவே ஒன்ன நான் எண்ணி தான்' (முரட்டுக்காளை) பாடலை சொல்லலாம். (tribal category இல் பொருந்துமா தெரியவில்லை..) ஆனால் காட்டின் மர்மத்தையும் துணை தேடும் பெண்ணின் எண்ணத்தையும் ராஜா ஒரே நேர்கோட்டில் இணைத்திருப்பார். (உண்மையில் ராஜா போல் உணர்வுகளை இசையாய் மொழிபெயர்த்தவர்கள் யாரும் இல்லை என்றே சொல்லலாம்.)
எதை எடுத்துக்கொண்டாலும் அதன் ஆழம் வரை பாயும் திறமை கொண்டவர் நம் ராஜா. எனவே தான் tribal,folk ,jazz ,.WCM எதுவானாலும் அதில் சிகரம் தொட்டார். (தொடுகிறார் என்று சொல்ல முடியவில்லை!)

ராஜாவின் வருகைக்கு பிறகு எம் எஸ் வி தந்த 'நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும்' போல் ராஜாவிடம் இருந்து ஒரு பிரவாகத்தை எதிர் பார்த்து கிடக்கிறேன்.
தராமலே ஏமாற்றி வருகிறார் தலைவர்!
(ஜெய் தயவு செய்து என்னை மன்னியுங்கள். நான் வெகு காலமாக உங்கள் பதிவுகளை படித்து வருகிறேன்.
இப்போது தான் இந்த இழையில் எழுதுகிறேன்! )
:P

oh shucks - the same was tried by a telugu channel as well this year. knowing IR's personality I would stay far away from inviting him to any such shows - because there is no talent in TN as far as singing is concerned. I peeked a few times into the super singer like contests it is all ore 'naarasam' more show and less talent. Raaja will not be courteous like SPB to say 'nanna try panneenga'. First episode - total elimination dhaan. HE will be better fit to be the judge in asianet idea super singer where the talent is much better and the orchestra also is superior.
