"...Apparently, Ilayaraja is composing music with the help of musicians from Budapest. His handwritten music notes are being composed by the musicians and Gautham Menon mentioned in an interview that they were the 'work of genius..."

Update from Ferenc Nemeth ( the Jazz drummer ) :

I just arrived back to NY after a long week in London and it was amazing working with the Maestro.
He is a genius and one of the most hard working person I've ever met. The recording should be out in a few months, I am sure you'll find it everywhere. One thing I can guarantee is that this music is very original and different from what the Master usually do, but its still sounds like him!
All the best to you,
Ferenc

Everyday i see some new photograph from NEPV recording in london. Interesting! I think GVM might have covered the whole recording process on photos or videos. May be! just a guess! If he released some BGMs of Vinaithaandi Varuvaaya later after the film's release, will he do something similar for this film as well??

But again - My expectations from the film's music are grounded... bcoz high expectations in a certain dimension often leads to disappointments. It is wait and listen approach for me!

That's the Raja stamp he is talking about, whatever he does. Thanks raja_fan for sharing the information on Jazz drummer Ferenc Nemeth. Very enthusiastic person, I believe Raja likes him a lot.
skv, thanks for sharing this wonderful picture. It seems like the key signature is A Flat Major with

B♭ E♭ A♭ D♭

and these are bass chords (so guitar is there ), as it is bass clef, not sure though.
