The one mistake of my life.!

Cha..! I'll never do this ever in my life again.. I should've listened to my friends.. They told me a hundered times not to.. But i did.. How could i.? Im totaly depressed.. Im mad now.. I wanna hit my head on the wall for doing that.. I've tried to tie a noose around my neck to kill myself and then realized not to.. Cuz i have social responsibilities.. I have to save a lot more others before they do that, and kill themselves.. I wasn't so low in life, nor tired of my life.. Yet i did what my friends had told not to.. Yes..! Unfortunately.. yes.. Unfortunately i watched 'Sakkarakatti' today.. My God.! If there has to be a sick movie ever made, the title should be given to this.. It was totaly crap.! Today was Deewali.. I could've spent that 2hrs in something useful.. My face had no reaction from the beginning till the end of the movie.. No reaction.! Rather wincing..!

Peter english, over-acting hero, stupid heorin who tries hard to talk in tamil (I guess everyone in that college knows only Englees.. Maybe for this movie they tried to talk in Tamil, which they found so difficult to speak.. Or maybe..!? SHIT), Sudden unrelated burst of songs in between, Stupid jokes and after all- Mokka story..!

I saw this movie just for the music.. I wonder why A.R.Rahman chose this film.. The director atleast could've concentrated on the songs.. He, for sure, would know the songs are gonna be hit.. He could've picturized it a little more better.. Even 'little more' is no close.. He should've completely changed his ideas and had done something realted to what the lyrics has to tell.. Anyway.. Please dont watch this movie.. If you feel you are so low in life, if you think you're no more fit to survive, if you wanna commit suicide, then go watch the movie..!

Aegan- 3.5/5 stars..!




Saw Aegan today.. Ajith has acted so well and is one of the good movies that has been released for Deewali.. Eventhough the story is a stolen one, the direction and the screenplay is as one could appreciate.. Moreover, the delivery of dialogues was really nice.. Ajith has managed to balance between the roles where he has to act as a comedian, and a hero.. The one thing i really thought when i saw the 'Mallika' song on SS music was- HE IS FAT.! Ajith's paunch is pushing out to be visible.. And the one thing i really liked when saw the movie was he agreed that he has a paunch in the movie itself.. There was a scene where his father (Naazer) asks him (Ajith, CBI) to act as a student in a college so as to find a bad guy.. Ajith strongly averse to it cuz he looks more aged than a college-going and he says he also has a big belly.. That one was cool.. The whole movie is a melange of 'comedy' and 'serious' scenes.. Even the villian is shown as a comedian at times.. Nice movie.. Can be watched once.. Or maybe twice.. ;)


I saw this movie the day before Deewali and its suprising for me to see that only very less number of people were bursting crackers.. It was also in the newspaper that lot of people chose not to burst crackers.. I've stopped bursting crackers since when i left school.. Its pretty suprising to see people really considering this pollution problem (or maybe cuz of the cost of the crackers!) and reduce the pollution and problems it causes.. I always used to think that bursting crackers are like burning your own money.. The difference- a 'BOOM'..! I guess this time people got a bit conscious and started to buy something useful instead of crackers.. Some people thought deewali is a festival to booze.. I saw many drunken people, fighting and lying on the road helplessly, on the way to the theatre.. That was sick.!


Afterall, the movie was good.. Worth watching..

Happy Deewali..!

Ek gulab dekha
Aisa wohh shabab dekha
Tez hawa se uttra
To paon pe chalna hoga
Dhoop Mein pan jalenge
To chalon mein chalna hoga

Hosh ka paani chirko
Madhosi ki aankhon par
Aapno se mat uljho
Tum gairon ki baaton per

Udke toh dekho
Uchi udari
Mit jayegi hasrat
saari saari saari
Zindagi koi juz
Nahin hain
Jisne lagari baazi
Hari hari hari
Pyala pyala
Maika pyala

Yuvvraaj rocks- 4/5 stars..!

Music Maestro A.R.Rahman has not let down his fans.. Yuvvraaj music is too good.. The movie stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Zayed Khan.. The orchestration used in the album is good.. As this film is a music-based one, rahman gave out his best as always..! Click on the song to download it..!

Main Hoon Yuvvraaj- This begins with salman Khan's melodramatic voice with Beethovan's 5th played behind.. I've read that Salman plays a music-lover role in the film, But he starts off with the introduction track with salman's voice telling 'Im a bad guy'.. Maybe he is a 'bad' musician.. you know what i mean.! ;)

Tu Meri Dost Hain- Nice melody.! I really could'nt believe Benny Dayal has sung it.. His voice just cross the borders of melodies and drifts us pensive.. Shreya Ghosal as usual have added beauty to the beautiful.. Other voices- A.R. Rahman, Salman Khan.. This song is awesome.. Too good.! My rating- 9/10

Shano Shano- Shano Shano is pop.. According to me, this is a bit not-much-interesting track.. But makes you keep it played untill its over.. Good one, not a very good one.. Sonu Nigam has taken the lead were Karthik, Timmy, Sunaina, Vivianne, Tina, Blaaze has given back vocals.. My rating- 7.5/10

Tu Muskura- Too good.! The orchestration that supported the song is beyond explanations.. Soothing song with Alka Yagnik's soothing voice.. The interlude inbetween is phenomenal.. Roop Kumar, Javed Ali has also given voices.. Javed ali's part at the end reminds me of 'RDB'.! My rating- 8.5/10

Mastam Mastam- Mastam Masatam is a medley.. Sonu, Alka, Subhash Ghai, Naresh Iyer, Benny has given voices for this song.. Rahman have treid to give out a different melody, and it pays off.. The eding of the song is just not that words can explain.. My rating- 8/10

Zindagi- Srinivas has sung this song.. This song reminds me a bit of 'tu bin bataye'.. Melodious track, good music.. My rating- 8.5/10

Dil Ka Rishta- Orchestration of this song is stupendous.. Rahman comes inbetween with his carnatic singing, in his usual high pitch.. The ending of this song is just AWESOME.! Sonu, Roop Kumar, Clinton, Suzanne, Vivianne, Naresh, Benny, Blaaze, Rahman has given voices.. My rating- 9/10

Manmohini Morey- A new guy Vijay Prakash has sung this song.. Fantastic Hindustani.! He manages to stay within the subtle music of this track.. This song is too good.. Rahman have yet again proved that he is the only one who could do wonders in music.. And this happens to be my favourite track.. My rating- 9.5/10

Shano Shano remix- Villian-ish music at the begining after a rap, blends in with the chorus of the original shano shano.. This remix better than the original one.. My rating- 8.5/10

Click here for the entire album

I loved the music not just cuz im a rahmaniac, cuz of the stupendous music.. And thats why im a rahman fan like millions others.. The Rahman-Subhash Ghai combo comes after a very long gap and i guess the film will not let us down as well..!

Friday 17 October 2008

Aegan- 2/5 stars..!

This is my review of Aegan songs.. I am dissappointed with the tracks and its not all that good.. May be it sounds good on screen..! Click on the song to download it..!


Hey Baby- This song is so jazz-y, with a heavy mixture of piano, trumpet and sax.. It made me feel like this- Maybe yuvan would've made this song half done already, and when the director approached him, he'd have finished the rest of the piece, just to make it a '4 mins track'..! Jazz rules more than the song itself and shankar mahadevan seems to sing in a passive pace throuhgout the song..! Initially, when i first listened to the track, the song sounded more like the jillunu oru kadal title song..! My rating- 5/10


Hey Saala 1 & Hey Saala 2- This begins with an emotional recital and catches up with the "yuvan's" synthesised beats.. There are two tracks with the same name- Hey Saala.. The only difference is the level of usage of synth.. Blaze, as usually, blends his voice with the song in his stylish tamil pronounciation.. Naresh Iyer and Mohd. Aslam comes in when the songs shifts to a bit more heavy synthesised beats.. Although this seems a little heavy to the ears, it makes us wanna move to the beat.. My rating- 6/10


Kichu Kichu- It begins with Vasundara Das's thin, sharp voice.. With an Arabian touch, the song goes on with vasundara das maintaing her half-suppressed seducing voice.. Yuvan comes in with "mallika, i wanna bite u like nellika" rap.. (sucks!).. My rating- 4/10


Odum Varayil- The cheering of crowd at the begining sounds like it has recorded from some cricket stadium (At first, while listening to it for the first few seconds, I thought it was kinda 'cheer the player' song.. (My guess was wrong).. And then the chorus mixes with the beats, yelling 'FREEDOM'.! Kay Kay and Bela Shende has given voice for this song.. The songs shifts to pleasant-sounding chords, and that is where Bela Shende comes in.. Yuvan would've played with chords to change scales up and down and then comes back again to where he was.. My rating- 5/10


Yahoo Yahoo- This happens to be the teen-y song of the album were the lyrics are all about college and teens.. Suvi, Ujjaini, Sathyan, Ranjith and Naveen have given voices to this song.. Yuvan would've thought the word 'Yahoo' might turn into a trendy word among youngsters, like he defined his song 'Dost Bada Dost' from saroja as the 'anthem for the youth' (what the hell?).. My rating- 5/10


When i saw the posters with Ajith having long beard, skull cap and a gun, i thought the album would definitly strech beyond people's expectations.. But i was dissapointed when i heard the tracks.. My total rating- 5/10 for the album.. Waiting for the movie..

Varnam Aayiram- 3/5 stars..!

Its a little late to write a review for this album.. But i really wanna write one for this.. I have not heard the album untill two days back.. And i've also read that the music is a bit good.. So, planned to write one.. Click on the song name to download it..!


Adiye Kolluthe- Distorted guitar, running bass, awesome voices,percussions, totally- GOOD.. Krish, Benny Dayal sang it well especially the 'Adiye Kolluthe' line.. Shruthi Hassan is far ahead of what i thought she might be.. Her voice is too good with a western mix.. Her stylish pronounciation of tamil in this song was really good.. I want more of 'shruthi haasan songs' to get realease ;).. My rating- 8/10


Annul Maelae- Nice melody.. It has a touch of 'Enadhuyire' from 'Bheema' (same director.. so similar music.?).. Sudha Raghunathan's mesmerizing voice embellishes the song.. Sudha has given a mix of Bombay jayashree and M.S.Subhalaxmi in her voice.. Nice song, but gives a feel that the tune already exists.. My rating- 8/10 ('8' for the pads he used to make it sound 'melodious'.!)


Ava Enna- A 'harris' folk song.. Karthik, V.Prasanna gave the voices for this song.. Nice song.. My rating- 6/10


Mundhinam- The dialogue in the begining of the song is just AWESOME.! The acoustic guitars and the 'thinny but muffled' tones of this song easily shows that its a harris music.. Naresh Iyer, Prashanthini has given voices for this song.. My rating- 7/10


Nenjukkul- This song is good.. I wanna the name of the one who played nylon guitar lead in this song.. If anyone knows, please let me know.. Again, a 'harris' song (i mean, the guitar and muffled tones.. He uses the same combinations.. As of how it sounded to me.!).. Good guitar work.. Hariharan, Devan, V.Prasanna are the singers and they are too good.! My rating- 8/10 ('8' for the guitar works.!)


Oh! Shanthi Shanthi- A rock version of the mundhinam song.. Clinton's husky voice adds sugar to the cake.. S.P.B.Charan sounds like krish in this song.. My rating- 6/10.


Yethi Yethi- Super song.. good beats.. He made it sound with a touch of the Arabian style, esp. when 'Yethi Yethi'.. This songs moves your head to the beat.. Nice song.. Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer, Solar Sai are the songers.. My rating- 7/10..


When i downloaded this, i found two extra songs 'Ragasiyam' and 'Meela Mudiyamal'.. I wonder who the musicans could be.? 'Ragasiyam' song is good.. It made me think that the music director might be harris.. Nice compsition and awesome voice.. I really loved the female voice.. And 'Meela Mudiyamal'- SICK.! To be more specific in our lingo- MOKKA.! A voice that should'nt be called for singing.. But the tune was good and it sounds like it was made using FL Studio.. ;)..

Totally, Varnam Ayiram is good and my overall rating- 7/10.. Waiting for the movie..

Have you ever wondered how a song is composed.?

Here, in this post, im gonna explain how a song is composed in a studio.. I got inspired to write upon this from a blog which i read last night.. Im not sure whether these are followed by every music directors, but most of it are basic ones that one has to follow to bring out good music.. As of i know, and as of i've learnt, i think this is how a song is done.. The process starts like this..

The music director listens to the script of the movie and then deciedes upon having it agreed or rejected.. It all depends on the script of the movie and the way a movie director conveys it..

After the selection of the script, the music director asks the director for the need of the song and the reason why it has to be played after that particular scene.. If he is satisfied, he agrees.. else he rejects..

There are two ways by which a tune is composed.. First, the lyricist writes the lyrics and music directors compose tunes or vice versa.. The latter is comparitively easy..

He then sits down to compose with his own voice and records every songs in his voice.. (This depends upon the music directors.. Some may have singers who are used for this purpose..)

He deciedes for the singers depending upon the actors in the movie.. More than the song itself, voices are more essential and it has to be selected so that it matches with the charater screened in the movie..

The singers are called and are made to sing the song which was already sung by the music director (or someone).. Recording the vocals takes 3-4 days and it takes 10-15 days for a song (It depends upon the song and the music directors).. Legends like Rahman never modifies the song, instead, he makes the singers to modify as per the song..

Music arrangers are people who assist Music Directors.. Music Directors supervise the works of the Music arranger and tells him if there is a change that has to be made.. Music arranger takes care of rest of the process.. He arranges the pads, percusions, rhythms, chords, basslines, strings etc.. Muscians like Rahman and Ilayaraja are not Music Directors, they are Music Composers and are totally different from Music Directors..

The actual music composition starts only after when the vocals get over.. He applies his ideas and creativity to make the song a hit.. The vocals and the music are done seperately and are then mactched accordingly.. The frequency must match else it has to be matched using the FDM and it is a huge process..

The song mixing is a very tedious one.. Programming is done using softwares like Logic, Garage etc.. Logic is a audio mixing software that can only be used in Apple Mac computers.. Pre-mixing is done by channeling the tracks- chorus in two tracks, percusions in two tracks etc.. Every track has channels which has a baud rate frequency.. And that frequency is used for the pitch of the song (for more on this technically, google it!).. There is something called the 'resonant frequency' which is achieved from the intersection of pitch depth value and volume graph.. It is very difficult to obtain the resonancy and it purely depends upon the equipments one has in his studio..

Then EUPHONIX comes in for its work.. Euphonix is used to give an analog warmth.. Most of the directors use Abysynth for generating synth.. Synth, Loops and samples enhance the song.. Music directors buys loops and samples from companies like Sony and Apple who are the major distributors.. Musicians, example, a pianist would've have played his tunes and would've sold it to Sony
or other distributors on agreement.. Music directors buys it from them and uses them in their songs.. Its like this- Instead of calling the musicians, they buy thier recorded piece and uses them..

Audio samples plays a very vital role for music directors.. Audio samples can be used anywhere in a song and it sounds original.. A portion of a sound recording is taken and can be reused as an instrument or element for a new recording.. This is done using computer programmes.. I've read from a blog that the drum beats which comes at the end of Rahman's MUKABULA MUKABULA are nothing but Audio samples and he has got the largest collections of Audio samples in Asia..

There is something that we have to learn which sounds very similar to pitch.. Music directors have 'tracks' which range from 1-15.. A singer who sings in track 15 is of a very high scale.. Rahman, Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan can sing in track 15 which is a very high scale.. To differentiate between these tracks, let us take the song JAAGE HAIN from GURU.. Rahman starts in low mod and then shifts to high mod track 15.. These are done in many songs.. Krish's voice in Vennilave (Vetayadu Vilayadu) is made to modualate from low mod to high mod.. It is difficult for some singers to sing in a very high scale so the music directors tells the singers to sing in a low mod tack 5 or 6, and then shifts it to track 12 or 13 as they wish.. To make this, it takes more time and it is done by Frequency Division Modulation.. To replicate the same sound of the singer in track 12, advanced machineries should be available in one's studio, else it clearly shows.. And also, this is a very costly process..

Music director composed BGM from the script explained by the directors.. After when the movie is shooted, the BGM is altered numerous times to attune to the scene.. Sometimes, the directors make the scene attune to the music.. For most of the BGMs, local directors use software which create pleasent sounds.. Sound editing is done using softwares like Neundo, Cubase ,Sonar and Logic which reduces the work of the music director.. Rahman uses very less of these and he always opts for original sounds.. Harris, yuvan and other local directors uses atmosphere pads like Area 51, Air 201, Equinox etc in their songs which gives a pleasent sound.. Even FL studio has various pads collection.. These just make the song sound good but the originality gets burried..

Composing a song is a very difficult process which requires advanced softwares and hardwares to transform the sound into a required one.. A very basic software that can be used for composition is the FL Studio where one can sit at home and compose tracks.. It is even possible to make a song sound good using FL Studio but all we need to have is creativity.. Tunes that i compose using the FL Studio sounds normal and it has no originality, perhaps, no life.. For a song to be felt, or to get it etched in our hearts, the very basic ratio is 1:10.. That is, 10% is of the loops and 'software-created' instruments, and 90% is of the originality and innovation.. FL helps in exercising our innovations and creativity, but it should be known that you're still a 'dummy composer'..! And ya.. That goes for me as well..!!

Comics.!

Stand-up comedies are being my 'always special' heart-warming shows.. I've watched sitcoms, and other farcical comedy shows but none can emulate stand-ups.. As far as I seem, Every stand-up comics have a special talent within.. Comedians like Stephen Lynch, who is also a musician, plays guitar and writes his own songs.. The lines in his lyrics interprets meanings that you never have imagined to come in a song like that.. He starts off the song with a beautiful guitar strum with a beautiful line like "there once was a guy..", and then it slowly drifts to rhymic funny lines.. He, according to me, is so talented that he balances perfectly between his singing, his guitar'ing, his lines and his attitude.. As a guitarist, that kind of an act is a bit difficult for me.. Some of his best which i like:


If I were gay:



The ugly baby song:



Lullaby song:



Love song:




And next comes my always favourite- Russell peters.. He is a canadian comic of Indian descent.. Most of his jokes are on rascism and Indian culture.. I've seen his DVD's and the one which i like the most is 'Comedy Now- Uncensored'.. I've also watched his latest DVD 'Outsourced' and some of other videos which he had performed in NY and Canada.. His audience could not stop laughing their stomach out when he starts talking in Indian accent, the 'typical' Indian accent.. Some of his clips i liked the most:


Indian Accent:



Gay Indians:



Be a man:



Ugly women:



on Jamaicans:



the list goes on..


Next is a person i always adore- Jeff Dunham.. He is an Award-winning ventriloquist.. Peanut, Walter, Achmed, José Jalapeño and Melvin are his puppets.. He's been doing ventriqolism since his school days and is still a star.. One would not see it as a puppet, instead, he makes you see it as a character.. I've seen videos of other ventriloquists but when it comes to pick the best, its Jeff.. I wonder how he writes his scripts.. Ironically, he has named one of his DVDs as 'Arguing with myself', but it never seem so.. He had introduced two new puppets- Bubba J and Sweet Daddy D in his 'Arguing with myself' DVD.. Some of his shows which i like:


Achmed the dead terrorist:



Peanut:



Melvin:



His always favourite puppet- Walter:




For me, these guys seems like a way better than others, or maybe i might not have seen comics better than them.. Watever.. I've also watched comedies of the famous Ellen DeGeneres (you might've seen her shows, cuz shez a bit 'famous'!), Pablo Francisco (this guys make jokes about sex and is very good mimic. He beatboxes, and also delivers his jokes burlesquing, and is very good at that), George Carlin, Lewis Black, Will Smith, Jim Carey and list goes.. So, When u feel like you're down in emotions, just watch some stand-ups and that'l bring you up back ;).. Dhanyawadh.!

Happy Days (Rock Version) [Karaoke]..!

This is the karaoke of the song 'Happy Days' from the telugu movie Happy days.. Though i know 0% telugu, I liked this song the very first time of listening to it and wanted to sing this with a karoake.. Found no good results on net.. Even if i find one, that'd be of '.rm' file that is futile for me cuz i dont have softwares that help me support it as BG for me to sing.. After all ways, i thought of creating it my own.. I spent a whole night and ahoy! its done.. Some of the instruments are reproduced the same way as in the song.. Hence the originality differs in just a few millicenti in a 10m scale (i believe so. ;) ).. Hope you like it.. Sing it yourself and upload it (and if possible, please drop the link where u've uploaded cuz this song is of a little higher pitch and i want to listen to your voices :) ).. [Software Used: FL 8]
