IR and composers overseas...

[Hulkster]

who stopped IR from working on further symphonies, when the first one got shelved?

It did not get shelved. It got completed but was not released on request of IR due to some critics. Some like subbudu had heard it already. He is interested in symhponies but i have got no idea why he does not want to pursue.

It would probably make sense to release more "Music Messiah" kind of CDs by remastering BGMs from original score. I put together this 5 minute track of pure music from "Kozhi Koovudhu" (extracted from a 15 minute sequence before the song 'Etho mogam"):

This is what we can get with a little bit of cut and paste and mixing, from parts without dialogues. There is some beautiful music during the dialogues too, and if we could put it all together it'd be quite a piece.

ananth222,
Nice effort ... I also enjoyed the thooral ninnu pochu piece... Wen i hear these musical bits get a feeling that y still he needs words to accompany his music...

How abt Kalapani. I thought the movie had some interesting BGM (and some usual IR trademark BGM as well)

[NormalMan]

Kalapani BGM was done by Karthik Raja

What...??? Kaalapani had BGM score by IR with a symphonic orchestra..! KR might have conducted it.

Iam listening to a lot of Ennio Morricone for quiet sometime...I loved his cinema paradiso and the western flick compositions earlier.
I think he is the only other composer who has made me addict so much like Raaja due to the similarities in the composing style.
Iam able to visualise the scenes behind the music. Only other 'Film music composer' in its truest sense I believe.
He also Like Raaja was regarded as a 'mere film music' composer by the purists. While the medium of film itself is of highest order and unless the people involved are not well versed in every form of 'art' they cant create a cinema. That EM and Raaja have deep understanding of the medium in which they are functioning and also deep understanding of various genres of music and Non conforming to set rules are making them artists of highest order than any of those so called 'purists'


Listen to some of his Classics from here:
