MEMORIES ▶️▶️ 🎼 AR RAHMAN 🎼

[MysteRy]

For some songs, we have used a region’s soundscape while for others, we have utilised the character’s internal journey as a map. Maahi Ve is one such song. So we have used sounds from Punjab, another that could have been connected with Haryana has transformed to more futuristic soundscape. One song has Kabir’s poetry that Shweta Pandit has rendered. There’s also a cheeky Western pop track used to suit a sudden interesting moment in the film.

-:FLAWLESS ARR:-

The director,who launched Rahman as a film music composer in Roja,admits that he was so struck by the brilliance of the compositions he heard that he doubted their authenticity. I couldnt believe that such beautiful music was being produced by the equipment I was seeing. I played the scratches over and over again,looking for a possible flaw,but couldnt point out a single one. Ever since then,Ive been a fan of AR Rahman,the music composer,but Im a bigger fan of AR Rahman,the person.
After that encounter,Rahman went on to compose the music for each of Ratnams films.

My father was the first one to get the synthesizer in south India, so I had all these big toys. Even as a kid, I could play on them, pressing every node and switch. It was like a luxury, a music showroom. So that pushed me to what next, what next. It keeps you alive.”

I have watched ARR at close quarters but am yet to understand how he continues to tap these talents.. When he composed Adiye, I watched the magic happening literally out of nothing .. I thought that nobody could sing that song with as much abandon as AR.. When I heard he had recorded it with a new voice i didn't want to hear it.. But when I eventually heard Sid Sriram sing it, i knew what I had already known. That AR had a vision beyond normal guys like me.. It is AR's ability in making an artiste find himself, is where he is without a parallel.. And Sid Sriram has found himself.. What else does an artiste need!!
