    biggrin

    I don't agree with it for one second, I was just quoting what has been said elsewhere.

    Fact is, like Williams, Goldsmith, Morricone, Mancini, Bernstein and a small handful of others John Barry is a one off truly original composer.

    Here is an analysis of the score of Lagaan (albeit spoilerific) along with audio clips from the DVD as the score has not been released. It is one of my top 5 Rahman scores -

    Especially check out clips #37 and 38, I love that menacing brass-led piece. He's got some more interesting Rahman reviews but I don't read through it fully as I cringe when I read the word "background" along with "score" tongue

    Describe your method for scoring a film.

    I mostly don't write to specifically defined cues. I just watch the film a couple of times, stop watching it, then write something that comes to my mind from the film. This way, when I try to sync the music, the results are that much more wholesome. You get something extra that you don't get when you're looking at specific points in the timeline. The music is much more organic this way, not jumping cue to cue. It's more about counterpointing and, sometimes, walking hand-in-hand. Most of the time it works out. If you watch the picture and try to have a specific chord change here, a tempo change there, when the director comes back and wants to move picture, you find that you've wasted time. I think this way is more appealing to me and to the people watching the film. Click tracks and following the SMPTE are necessary for some things, but once you have everything in Logic, then afterwards you can edit and make minor changes.

    That explains why some cues in his films are reused for other scenes.

    Indeed. And I feel the actual mention of his instrumental scores/scoring process will constitute less than 20% of the book. Rest is devoted to songs and Bollywood discussions tongue

    I cannot tell you how hard it is for me to stop myself doing rolleyes when I hear people here say Rahman won Best Original *SCORE* for Jai Ho. dizzy

    Oh, the TOI was once a good newspaper. Sadly with the internet age they focussed more on the glamor quotient and less on news content. Their website was (and is probably still) an abomination-- chock full of ads and galleries of scantily clad women. Their writers are masters of lame puns and 4 sentence articles. They're a tabloid masquerading as a newspaper.

    Indeed! It's going to be just that. Yet another recounting of the troubles of his past and more fluff.

    Yeah, this was posted on GSA Music sometime back but it wasn't clear whether he was scoring it or if they were using some of his earlier works. Atleast now it's confirmed.

    He did an interview with CNN-Talk Asia and this is quite nice with a tour of his house and studio and a demo of his process-

    I completely disagree in comparing A.R.Rahman with John Williams. I believe many people in the West doesn't know anything about Indian Maestro Ilaiyaraja, one of the greatest Indian composer. I will agree if people Ilaiyaraja with John Williams. That would certainly do justice in comparison. But comparing Rahman with Williams..... no way.

    I hope the comparisons being done between JW and Rahman are purely metaphorical (after all Rahman did revolutionize the film score front out here in India), because their composing styles are not similar at all.
