Maestro Ilaiyaraja New Albums 2011 - Hello Jaihind / Sri Rama Rajyam

[raajarasigan]

irir, very nice info on the percussion base I really liked that kind of rythm from our maestro. But I thought it was still from acoustic drums (at least in en uyire vaa) but with a better recording quality when compared to the mid-80's acoustic drums usage. That kind of percussion is so soothing to the ears and also very trendy even today. No doubt that it will work in the night clubs.

Did maestro use this kind of percussion in "Inimey Naangathan"? It looks like..

i dont know which thread to pose/ask this question but here it goes:

during the late 80s - i think post 'agni natchatiram', IR began using a certain kind of polyphonic percussion/rhythm sometimes very very complex - often making one wonder as to how he even conjured up such complex patterns!

the percussion base for 'en uyire vaa' or 'ding dong dong - irandum ondrodu' or 'poongatru un per solla', or, 'subhalekha' (the polyphonic sounds in this track is a riot! - the prelude percussion wow!)

since 1992-1993, his scores shifted away from the use of such polyphonic percussion arrangements and became more new-age style - the rock ballad like 'arumbum thalire' from chandralekha (1995) or the songs of poovarasan or an IV sasi film (forgot the name, it had the 'siru koottil chinna kokilam irandu' song)

if IR were to revert back to such percussion usage, the present day night club slam bang music crazy junta wud lap it all up for sure!

RM,

Someone posted that interview earlier I think. The song snippets make you want to go and ask the director to immediately release the album. Lets hope it comes out this month.

The snippets looks promising Suresh. Lets just wait for a big blast with the release of Padithurai and Azhagar Samiyin Kuthirai...

Another decent BGM score in the making...no huge song album possible, however...

"...Director Balakrishnan, who had earlier made “Kamaraj”, employs Ilaiyaraaja's music to great effect..."
