IlayaRaja's New Albums 2013-15 - Mahendran film/Thaarai thappattai/Mythri

[KV]

thaavi thaavi - when maestro sings "karagosham" - there is a bittersweet feeling that is evoked - that is raaja signature that is unmistakable and underscoring a moment or emotion in the story beautifully (padam paarthaal thaan theriyum).. This is his trademark minimalism. Love this guy and his music...

+1, pullarippulu! This song is peacefully and happily maddening!

appiddeendringa? hmmm, I thought it was due to poor recording/mixing. Let's wait for the original CD.

All my reactions were initial ones, as I heard the song only thrice. I need to hear it at least another 10 times to figure out what is being experimented.

Here is the impression that I got hearing this track in Dhoni - SPB has been challenged to stay at one level when the ground under him is shifting like a system of gears. The challenge we have is to figure out if he is dancing on top of one gear box or several at varying speeds.

I need to spend some time on this track and figure out what is exactly going on. Though I could be wrong, this is beyond simple polyrhythms.

Who said Feb is exam time only for students?

ravi,

I don't think this is polyrhythm in the sense you had used it. Seems to be like changes in rhythm than polyrhythm per se. Anyway, as you said we need to do more preparation.

Coming to SPB's singing, it would have been a great challenge in an earlier time when he would have recorded with the instruments. I think even now though live instruments were used, I personally think SPB would have sung track. That is just my guess. Singing track wouldn't have been as difficult as singing this live.

Listening to Dhoni album. Is it just me (or the quality of the d/l), there is something wrong with the audio quality. Very hazy.....

I am with you. I don't know what to complain, recording with noise or orchestration with noise or the pirated download especially in Chinna kannile song. After looooooon time, IR goes to live recording, I expected something in orchestration but I found only in Vaangum Panathuthukkum (sureshji nicely written about this). But yes, I need to listen more to conclude anything
