How does ar rahman composed music

So, when Arijit asked him about the same, Rahman said he likes to isolate himself while working as he does not want to get distracted by the mundane activities of life. Famous for working at night, Rahman said that he does so primarily because no one disturbs him at that hour.

At various points in the conversation, Rahman shared anecdotes about the making of certain songs. He also shared anecdotes of working with great lyric writers like Gulzar and Prasoon Joshi and how their influences have uplifted his music. By Juhi Chakraborty. Get our Daily News Capsule Subscribe.

Rahman has undoubtedly changed the very syntax of the Indian film song. Lounge meets him at his studio in Chennai. The calm within seems to be a reflection of the man who could weather a storm with a smile and a strum. Our meeting last Saturday was the culmination of efforts to track him down to mark his 25 years in the movies.

But now, I have the two-time Oscar and Grammy winner seated cross-legged on a footstool. It is right above his workstation a floor below, and noiseless except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the man who seems to audibly process each word before releasing it to the world.

He has been juggling Hindi, Hollywood and regional projects, and has just returned from a music tour in Australia with composer-orchestrator Matt Dunkley. Also Read The A. Rahman fan club.

Dressed in a white T-shirt, black trousers and a black sweater vest, he looks far younger than his 51 years, though he jokes that his limited social skills are getting even more impaired with age.

Do music that is relevant to society, relevant to what is happening now. Songs are more like that, give fresh perspective, newness, and definitely it will work…. The energy that comes in film is because many minds come together. But for an indie musician, everything has to come from within, till things change. Now that the CD is dead, where do musicians not featured in films go? So, again, be your own and be relevant to society. When you are relevant, people come to you. When you made a great song, and it becomes a part of the culture, these are the things that take you forward.

How we use them in movies. Otherwise we go abroad and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars….

Our film company Via Movies is trying to make musical movies that are relevant and edgy. Our first movies are coming out. I was arranging for a composer called Vijayanand, and in my very first movies, I used to play for Vijayabhaskar. And then Ravi Shenoy. I was a music assistant, and it kind of helped me to learn. Also, Kannada, Telugu and Tamil, everything was in Chennai.
