A R Rahman is my favourite: Grammy winner Wouter Kellerman

Grammy-winning South African flautist and music composer Wouter Kellerman says he loves Bollywood music and A R Rahman is his favourite music director because it is impossible to imitate the Indian maestro. “A R Rahman obviously is my favourite… I try to imitate him but cannot keep the magic intact… There is some magic in his fingers… It is impossible to imitate him,” he told PTI in an interview here. Kellerman said he was totally bowled over by Rahman’s ‘Bombay’ theme track and a song from ‘Slumdog Millionaire.’

The composer, who received the Grammy at the 57th AnnualGrammy Awards for his 2014 album ‘Winds of Samsara’ in collaboration with Indian composer and producer Ricky Kej, was in the city, working on an ambitious project with the latter. He said they were working on a follow-up to ‘Winds of Samsara’ to be released in 2017.

“I and Ricky have started to work for a very long ambitious project to be released in 2017, but that will be a followup of Winds of Samsara,” he said.

“Theme is always going to be good energy, love, peace and tolerance – that’s the theme we would like to build on,” he said.

Kellerman however said he doesn’t like to make music having “sinister dimensions” though he has immense respect for those who create it.

“I don’t like to make music that has sinister dimensions. For me all the music I make it can be deep but it is not dark. That’s the music I like. It can be sad; it can be deep but I don’t like to make music which is dark,” he said.

“I have a lot of respect for musicians who want to make dark music – sometimes I like listening to it but that’s not my road at the moment,” he added.

An Experience Awaits

For film-goers across languages, watching a Mani Ratnam movie is an experience. It is to provide this kind of experience for movie-goers that the director is on a quest. “Research is part of your living. You have to experiment and constantly look around you,” he stated. His new movie OK Bangaram (O Kadhal Kanmani in Tamil) which releases today showcases a young couple Dulquer Sulemaan and Nithya Menen in a live-in relationship. “We live in a society with a lot of taboos and live-in is one such taboo. The film deals with issues of today’s generation, their conflicts and resolutions but is not just about live-in; it speaks about marriage and what is rooted and what is western.”

Mumbai has been a recurring background for the story in his movies like Bombayand Guru and now with OK Bangaram, the city gets another representation. “Each story has its own character and the place is chosen accordingly. Calcutta has its own character and Bombay has its own. The story is centred in Bombay and it gets represented,” he pointed out. With A.R. Rahman and Prakash Raj by his side, the director observed that the movie has many realistic elements and portrays true emotions on screen.

Rahman’s peppy tunes in the movie are turning out to be chartbusters and the added attraction is Rahman’s son lending his voice. “I created a song for my family and I thought of making it into a music video. He (Mani Ratnam) heard it and told me he wanted to use it,” he said. Even as Rahman spoke about the music, Mani Ratnam quipped, “I torture him and he puts up with it.”

Rahman smiled and applauded Mani Ratnam’s way of selecting people. “His unique quality is that he never judges people by their popularity. He has open arms for anyone who has talent and is truthful and that reflects in his work.”

Two days before the release of his movie, the ace director said he feels relaxed. “He (Rahman) takes criticism by his side. If he comes up with a finished product and you say you do not like it, without second thoughts he’ll make another. If someone did that to my scene, I would have thrashed him,” he said jokingly.

Having worked with Mammootty in Dalapathi and now with his son Dulquer, the director said the father-son duo is different in their approach towards acting. “They have entirely different styles. He is a wonderful talent and is not influenced by his father’s style and has created his own identity,” he said. When someone wondered how at this age (he is turning 60), he has been able to make youthful films, he retorted, “Who said I am 60? I am 21!” With smiles all around, as the duo got up to leave, Mani Ratnam had cast a spell like his movies!

We would love to meet A.R.Rahman - Ralph Van Hilst and Marlon Flohr

Ahead of the release of their much awaited single 'What We Live For' in collaboration with fellow Dutch artist Afrojack just a few days away, the Bassjackers duo of Ralph Van Hilst and Marlon Flohr made their first ever appearance in Hyderabad on Saturday night. The city folk got a taste of jacking beats with a lot of bass or "jack the bass", as the Bassjackers duo of Ralph Van Hilst and Marlon Flohr like to call it.
Excerpts from the interview.

What have you heard of Hyderabad as an EDM destination?

We loved the prospect of coming to India. What we were completely excited about is launching a brand new EDM experience in Hyderabad. The city is an evolving market and it is rapidly catching up with cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi and other cities too. Dance music is a revolution that will definitely gain a foothold in the city because the audiences are very open to experimentation. Hyderabad can draw in numbers for live concerts as I have just experienced. This is a plus point for any DJ world over.

Who were your major musical influences when you started out?

Marlon: There are too many (artistes) to mention now, respecting their talents. As a DJ, I got inspiration from guys like Sidney Samson and Laidback Luke. They have an amazing skill set and really know how to read a crowd. Ralph: Afrojack has been a big influence when it comes to producing. He got so big with what some call the "Dutch" sound. This paved the way for us.

Do you listen to any Indian/ Bollywood music?

We are familiar with Nikhil Chinapa. However, we would like to explore possibilities of working in Bollywood. We would definitely like to meet..

Mani Ratnam Gets AR Rahman's Best

Kaara Aattakkaara that opens the soundtrack is a good preview of the kind of sound that ARR has tried for Mani Ratnam in OK Kanmani. The lovely hook that the song begins with (which featured in the teaser too) turns out to be the occasional melodic pit stop amidst a lot of frenzied rapping and shifting modes and synth-based wackiness (Aaryan Dinesh Kanagarathnam, Darshana, Shashaa Tirupati on vocals). The way it ended with thodarum, I half expected a reprise to the track. Mental Manadhil takes a relatively conventional route, but techno sounds rule the backdrop in this one too. The filler lyrics by Mani Ratnam and ARR (both of whom also penned the previous song alongside Aaryan; all other songs have been written by Vairamuthu) can be a distraction, but the song is otherwise immensely groovy. And compared to the male version delivered by the composer himself, the female version by Jonita Gandhi works much better thanks to her nuanced singing. Karthik and Shashaa Tirupati’s pitch-perfect rendition of the melody (watch out for that beautiful Carnatic segue) Parandhu Sellava receives a rather contrasting acappella-eque support for most part. It is only in the final two minutes that a gorgeous strings section kicks in which takes the tune to a new high.

Theera Ulaa is the only track that carries a prominent heard-before sound about it, but the interesting presentation makes up for that – the vocoded voices of ARR, Darshana and Nikhita Gandhi along with the humming of the chorus, The fast- paced arrangement peppered with classical-sounding twangs (just guitar or veena too?) that lead up to a refreshing classical bit from one of the female vocalists which I wish was longer.

Karthik gets a second romantic melody too in the soundtrack, the one whose promo came out a couple of days back – Hey Sinamika. In its entirety the song is even more impressive – the tune is charming, the breezy arrangement makes it more so, and Karthik is flawless as always (I am assuming that instrument at about 1:50 is Roli seaboard). ARR’s son A R Ameen gets his solo debut with one of the composer’s favourite genres, sufi. ARR structures the traditional piece Maula Wa Sallim the way he did Soz O Salaam in Coke Studio (which incidentally also had a boy playing a prominent role) – like a quiet prayer.

The arrangement is minimal, mostly just the humming by the chorus. Combined with Ameen’s soulful rendition, the effect is surreal! If only the evident processing in Ameen’s voice had been avoided. Compared to the past repertoire of ARR with Chithra, Malargal Kaettaen would come off as a regular track. Yet it is a delight to hear the lady sing a classical-flavoured (not sure what raga, have seen multiple people name it behag-ish) piece very nicely penned by Vairamuthu; she still owns it like she ever did! Superb use of kanjiraand flute in the background. The song that qualifies as the best of the soundtrack is Naane Varugiraen. A long free-form prelude and then that take off, riding on the frenetic rhythm set by the harp (synth?) – goosebumps! Shasha Tirupati gets to take the lead on this one and does a fabulously nuanced delivery of the seemingly darbari kaanada raga based piece, with occasional support from another talented singer, Sathya Prakash.

The movie promos may have shown similarities to Alai Paayuthey, but O Kadhal Kanmani’s music has nothing on the former. And whatever this movie may turn out to be, Mani Ratnam still does manage to turn A R Rahman into his inventive best! The inventiveness here may not go down well in every case, but this will still remain a brilliant soundtrack.

Music Aloud Rating: 9/10

A Trip To Remember

Darshana with A.R. Rahman

In conversation with Darshana, who has sung three songs for O Kadhal Kanmani.

You arrived with a bang in 2007 — singing the popular ‘Maduraikku Pogathadee’ (Azhagiya Thamizh Magan). There’s been a lull since then?

Yes, I moved to Chicago after marriage seven years ago. I kept myself occupied with music (studying jazz vocals at the Old Town School of Folk Music, Chicago), but it was difficult to find Kollywood work living so far away. Despite that, I’ve managed to come to Chennai at least once a year and have contributed to songs such as ‘Balleilakka’ (Sivaji ), ‘Pappu Can’t Dance Saala’ ( Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na ), and ‘Chinnamma Chilakkamma’ ( Sakkarakatti).

How did OK Kanmani happen?

I visited Chennai in January, this year, and generally put word out to studios that I was available. Miraculously, I got a call from Panchathan studios (owned by A. R. Rahman)! I saw no singers when I went in, and figured they just wanted to say ‘Hi’. Rahman then came in and asked if I wanted to sing for a project. Yes please! He made me sing a few lines for ‘Kaara Aattakkaara’, the bits you hear in the trailer. After about 20 minutes of recording, I thanked everybody and went home and called all my friends to share my excitement. Karthik (my husband) calmed me down a bit and told me that we didn’t even know if it’d be selected for the album. It didn’t matter though. I was on a high. You have also rapped for the song. That happened four days later. I was called again and given a few lines that didn’t seem to fit into the tune at all. I was scared I was going to make a fool of myself. Rahman walked in and asked if I’d ever rapped. He smiled when I said no, and asked me to rap like ADK (Aaryan Dinesh Kanagaratnam, the male vocalist of the song). He sang my lines and showed me exactly what he wanted.

And then, of course, you got the biggie — a duet with Rahman in ‘Theera Ulaa’ that has you singing that classical interlude in the middle.

(Laughs ) Yes. They called me for the third time in a couple of weeks. This time, Rahman wanted to know if I was comfortable with classical music. I said I knew the basics. He gave me about six lines, and told me that I had to sound like I was content, like I was floating.

When did you know all your contributions would be part of the album?

They called me again to sing the Telugu versions of the songs, and that was when I knew for sure that these weren’t just practice tracks. I met Mani Ratnam and realised this was for OK Kanmani (OK Bangaram in Telugu). I also got to sing ‘Mental Madhilo’, the Telugu version of ‘Mental Manadhil’. I took selfies with them, and Mani was kind enough to ask if we could walk across the room so we could get better lighting for our selfie. Was I going to argue against his sense of lighting? (Laughs ) Quite a couple of weeks, eh? It was unbelievable. I know singers in Chennai who run from pillar to post for such work without getting it. How lucky for a person like me to get such tracks when on a vacation! Though I have a recording studio in Chicago, I’m now making plans to shift to Chennai. The time seems right.

'Change Has To Happen'

A.R. Rahman talks about the increasing need for the coexistence of electronic and organic music. In times when music is literally going into the background in our films, A.R. Rahman is coming up a film production company where music will drive the content. Speaking on the sidelines of the India launch of Jai Ho , Umesh Agrawal’s documentary on him, Rahman says he finds music going increasingly ambient in our films. “Particularly Hollywood films. It is no longer central to the theme. I want to produce films where the music is scored first and then the story is woven around it.”


He feels it is a pragmatic idea. “Why not? People have given me so much love. So let’s give it a try.” Asked has this music first policy got something to do with his experience with filmmakers over the years, Rahman says, “A filmmaker has many challenges to contend with at a time. He has to deal with his hero, whose aim is to become a bigger star to earn more crores. In such a scenario it is difficult for a filmmaker to accept a musical script.”

Rahman says when he was young he used to think why can’t our popular music be accepted in the West. “There was always an audience for our esoteric music but when it came to popular forms, it were always we who were following them.” With Rahman’s success it changed and this is what “Jai Ho” celebrates. His school KM Music Conservatory is making news and Rahman says his idea is to impart knowledge about both traditional and western forms. “Today I met seasoned composer Uttam Singh at the music launch of Nanak Shah Fakir and he showed concern about the diminishing number of good players of strings and brass. At the school we lay emphasis on creating good players of both traditional and western forms of music. We already have some of the best pianists in the world,” says Rahman.

However, it is Rahman who ignited the electronic music wave and cynics often hold him responsible for the decline of organic music in our films. He admits that he was bored of the Tamil music scene when he was growing up, playing keyboards for his father who was a noted arranger in Tamil film industry. Rahman counters, “Change has to happen. If I had not done it somebody else would have done it. I was not doing 12 movies a year. I was probably doing one or two movies but people still noticed it. And I never ever completely replaced organic music with electronic music. Acoustic musicians have always been part of my score.” So it is time to turn the clock back. “It is about striking a balance. Both can coexist. Sometimes I find a lot of acoustic music in Vishal Bhardwaj and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s work. I did it in ‘Lagaan’ and recently in ‘Kaaviya Thalaivan’. We have so many audience. People can consume different things.” This brings us to another charge that Rahman has made the lyrics and playback singer redundant but in the documentary he says that he often records the sound on a bare track. “Not every song is the same. Every song demands its own grammar,” he reasons. “Like ‘Lukka Chuppi’ is all about Lataji’s voice. Similarly in ‘Pathshala’ there is emphasis on lyrics. But we should not forget that there is a reason that it is called soundtrack and that every song can’t have dholak sound.”

Last couple of years have been a mixed bag for him. While his compositions in Lingaa and I failed to enthuse, his work in Hindi films Ranjhaana and Highway broke new ground. “It is not that Hindi filmmakers are providing more challenging work. It is just the timing of releases and the expectations.” He reminds us of Jab Tak Hai Jaan where Aditya Chopra was elated with the score while some of his fans were not as excited. “Sometimes a simple score is the need of the filmmaker. Expectations are high again as he and his mentor Mani Ratnam join hands again for O Kadhal Kanmani , releasing next week and like always, Rahman says it is a multi- layered score. Earlier in the evening he said after Roja he felt exhausted. “I was coming from the jingles background so film music was a lot of work for me. But Mani understood not only me but also the change that was happening around and allowed me to do my thing. I have this habit of returning to the song till the very end. It was not the practice before. Like Roja I still feel that there is something left.”

Apart from Ratnam, Rahman says Shekhar Kapur, Ashutosh Gowarikar and Subhash Ghai proved to be great influence for him. The latest to join the list is Majid Majidi for whom he has composed for his latest work “Muhammad”. “I always wanted to work in Iranian cinema. How they are able to say so much with so many limitations. I experienced a whole new culture, a whole new world but Majid was not easy to deal with. Here everybody knows how I work but he had no idea. When I sent him some of the tunes, he said what it is. I had to make him listen to various tracks to understand what he likes and what he doesn’t, and then compose accordingly.” One thing that has changed about him over the years is that Rahman now feels sleepy at night but what hasn’t is his humility and discipline as Umesh tells us the night before the launch the maestro messaged him to ask if he had checked the audio system in the auditorium.

AR Rahman needs no biggies

Mirror was the first to report that Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman is turning producer, but now we have learnt that the film will be directed by renowned ad filmmaker and TV serial director Viswesh Krishnamoorthy.

It's also learnt that choreographer-turned- director Prabhu Deva will be part of the project in a key role, but it's not clear in what capacity will the dancing sensation be roped in.

Interestingly, the Oscar-winner, who composed music for the 2012 Upendra-starrer Godfather, is expected to produce two flicks this year, and both will be bilingual. "For the first project, he has roped in Viswesh. It will be definitely not a typical Bollywood movie. Rahman wants to make a splash through his debut project as a producer," a source close to the production house told Mirror. Rahman has written the story for the first flick and it will be produced simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil. The star cast will be separate for the two languages with the heroines most likely to remain common.

The movie will be released in dubbed versions of Telugu in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana and in Malayalam in Kerala and abroad. In all likelihood, Rahman is expected to score the music for the movie.

"The plot does not need an A-list actor. Emerging actors can do justice to the roles. The auditioning will commence shortly in Mumbai and Chennai," the source said, indicating that it will be a youth-oriented movie and the plot has adequate scope for 3-4 characters. Incidentally, it is said that top A-list actors in Bollywood as well as Tamil have evinced interest in appearing in special roles in the movie. Yes, it is true that Rahman sir has been given open offers by top stars in Hindi and Tamil to use their dates whenever required, if the plot necessitates the presence of a leading celebrity. We are simply overwhelmed with this kind of a gesture," the source added.

However, Rahman is clear that he does not want any A-list actor to be unnecessarily included in the movie when there is no such requirement.
According to trade sources, the project has already created a buzz in Bollywood with leading corporate firms intending to tie with Rahman's banner.

AR Rahman Got Angry !!

2 time Oscar winner AR Rahman is known for his soft nature. In spite of enjoying a huge fan following across the globe, Rahman is always grounded and he thanks the Almighty for everything. Here, we are referring about an incident that took place at an event in Mumbai.

AR Rahman was invited as a chief guest for the event and while entering into the auditorium, a journalist asked, “How do you feel when people say that you are the next Ilayaraja?”.

Rahman was surprised and he immediately said, “Never say that again. Nobody can replace Raja (Ilayaraja) sir. Please don’t ask such stupid questions just to get something from me“.

Organisers of that event immediately entered into the scene and asked that TV journalist to leave the auditorium.

Event managers apologised to Rahman and promised that such things won’t happen in future.

No one can be the next anybody: AR Rahman

He's been feted by the Berklee College of Music, which, apart from conferring a doctorate on him, has now also announced a scholarship in the name of AR Rahman. He's busy with many Kollywood and Bollywood projects, which he juggles smoothly along with his Hollywood commitments.

But none of this has changed ARR's demeanour the least bit, for he is still the calm, composed, quiet person he always was, as Chennai Times discovered when he spoke to us about why his students are his biggest award, his inspiration behind writing the lyrics of Mental Manadhil from O Kadhal Kanmani, his nervousness about working with Majid Majidi, and more.

Excerpts:
How do you feel about getting a doctorate from such a prestigious college?

I always wanted to go to college. In fact, back in 1992, I was contemplating on attending Berklee, when the call from Mani Ratnam came. I chose films and here I am. I never went to college and now, I have my own college (laughs). I missed college a lot, but now, a lot of things are filling up that void.
This doctorate is one of those things. However, my role is much greater now, my responsibilities have grown and commitment is greater. Part of which is the Sunshine Orchestra...

These students are all from underprivileged backgrounds. We scout the corporation schools in the city to identify talent and then give them free music education. What we want to do is create India's own symphony orchestra which can perform all over the world. This is our vision and we are training them for that.
So, if one wants to be the next Rahman...
(Interrupts) That is a wrong perception. No one can be the next anybody. They can only surpass someone's path and find their own direction.

How does a college teaching music help the creative person or the creative process?

The most important thing about art is that despite having all the complex ideas, complex formulas, one can make things seem simple. That is the beauty of art - whether it is painting or music or composition or even a phone, it is all about simplicity. That is what gives you peace. It's like how it is explained in The Alchemist. You need to take a journey around the world to find out what is within you. This is that kind of journey.

Mental Manadhil is a popular number... it is a romantic song, and yet comes from someone as spiritual as you...

(Laughs). When you are a professional, both your spiritual and romantic sides play an important role. When you are in work mode, a switch gets turned on and suddenly, when you least expect it, you hit upon something interesting. When we got talking about Mani Ratnam and I writing Mental Manadhil, both of us wanted an interesting coinage for the song. So, during our jamming sessions - I was saying 'Laka Laka' to rhyme with 'Mana Mana... Manadhil...' Mani said 'mental'. So we coined 'mental' and 'manadhil' together and that is how the song came about.

You've scripted a film, too. Its status?

I have been tweaking the script for the last four years, making sure the characterisation is right. It took me a long time to find the right team. Getting the right director itself took me about three to four years. We finally zeroed in on a director called Vishwesh, who is from Mumbai. So, work will start soon.

Tell us about your experience working with Majid Majidi on his upcoming Iranian film...

It was a great experience. The standards were very high and I was extremely nervous. The only thought in my mind then was 'What if I get fired?'. I was going into a completely different aspect of cinema and even though music is universal and does not have any language, the way we apply it matters a lot. But in the end, Majid was happy with the music. So much so that he hugged me and congratulated me. That was a very moving experience.

What next?

This! (he looks around the college) My future is my students and that is my biggest award.

Ok Kanmani song Aye Sinamika: Dulquar Salman and Nithya Menon share intimate chemistry

AR Rahman brings out his best for Mani Ratnam’s love story

A love story directed by Mani Ratnam and music composed by AR Rahman..you can’t ask for more if you are a romantic at heart. With just a day to go for the audio to be launched, people are going gaga over what AR Rahman has in store for the fans this time around.

Also, the chemistry between the lead pair, Dulquar Salman and Nithya Menon, has become the talk of the town. The single track, Mental Manadhil, from the film has already went on to be a huge hit amongst Rahamaniacs. The makers of Ok Kanmani have released a song teaser for song Aye Sinamika. I took a sneak peak into the song and this is what I thought of it:

Aye Sinamika is a typical AR Rahman number which is so melodious and uplifting that it feels like honey to ears. The use of acoustic guitar is refreshing, but one does feel that Karthik’s voice is overpowered by the music.

Dulquar and Nithya’s intimate chemistry breathes life into the video, as the couple look irresistibly cute onscreen. The song extensively captures the bedroom romance between the lead pair and does remind you of earlier Mani Ratnam films.

Suriya’s Tamil thriller 24 to roll from April 8!

Actor Suriya-starrer Tamil thriller 24, which will be helmed by Vikram Kumar, will go on floors here on April 8. The team plans to shoot a month-long schedule in the city before heading to other locations. ”Most of the film’s story is set against Mumbai. Suriya will start shooting for ’24′ from April 8 onwards here for a month,” a source from the film’s unit revealed. Southern sensation Samantha Ruthu Prabhu is paired opposite Suriya in this film. The duo has earlier worked together in Anjaan . This film happens to be Suriya’s home production 2D Entertainment’s newest venture. Mozart of Madras and double Oscar Award winner composer AR Rahman will compose the music for this film.
