Surreal Music work!

i listened to wind, i listened to love, and im not impressed. why should i be impressed by this now? besides, im in school, using the PCs in the lab, which have no sound, and that would kind of defeat the purpose of downloading it now to listen would it not?Originally posted by Rahmania:anyway i can see u didnt even d/l the music and listened to it....megauplaod says only 2 downloads...one by MR Soh , the other probably by Fugue...
do i HAVE to download every bit of junk u 2 throw at us to make a judgement? in engineering we have something called random sampling. u pick a few manufactured products from a batch, test them, if the batch is good, chances are the products picked for testing will perform well. if the products tested perform badly, chances are the batch is bad. same logic, go apply. -
400 year old pieces of works....

i listened to peter and the wolf when i was very young so this particular piece has a special place in my mind. i love it. anyways speaking of "the planets", was that piece used in the game "Outpost" from the same series? Im trying to find the name of that piece nowOriginally posted by Mr Fugue:give me Holst's ''Neptune the Mystic'' from ''The Planets'' anytime!!
.....together with Mussosky's ''Pictures at an exhibition'', Stravinsky's ''Rite of Spring''...etc. -
is it pretty dumb that people like u try to compare with 400 year old composers? Cant u get it......one is ancient the other is modern....he comparison is unfair
Besides u didnt even comment about the sound engineerig, sound effect, arrangements ect.... -
Wow!!Originally posted by Rahmania:not same.....like Mr soh described...this is different....it is more commercial.....this will show why ARR music sells......
it sells soooooooooooooo well that you need to post samples in this forum to get our approval. -
making music that sells is not the same as making music from the soul. Thats why i think the classicals are better. they never intended for their music to sell when they make them. they make them from the heart, as an expression of themselves and their geniuses. thats why its better. its a true work of art, of reflections of life, not a piece intended to make money.Originally posted by Rahmania:not same.....like Mr soh described...this is different....it is more commercial.....this will show why ARR music sells...... -

Planets has 7 movements depicting the qualities associated with each planet; eg, like mar = war/violence, jupiter = joy, venus = tranquility...etc. what is the mood of that background music you're talking about?? -

tapping sound in the beginning??Originally posted by HENG@:i believe its the Mars one.
that's the violinists using the back of their bows to hit the strings instead of bowing it.
That's what I called genius!! apparently, ARR is still FAR from it. -

[b]Why was ARR booked to do the next LORD of THe RIngs musical by the westerners? LORD of the Rngs is a big prestigious franchise, tell me why?[/b]
oh i hate Lord of the Rings too. I think thats crap as well.
Modern music makers? I give my nod to John Williams. The day ARR is asked to do music for star wars, then i'll say he's good. -
HENG is yr opinion bigger than the opinions of Recording companies, Sony who booked ARR to do Vande Mataram 1997 and LOTR producers Kevin Wallace?......DO not forget that these are companies which approve or disapprove artistes...they are more versed in opinions than you

Besides, who is Kevin Wallace compared to Geroge Lucas anyway? Like i said, they day ARR is booked to do Star Wars, i'll say he's good.

Bollywood songs was hitting not just me buy anyone who
heard the stuff. There had to be a common denominator.
This was their composer, A R Rahman. One look on the
net revealed that he was a phenomenon in Asia, where
he's known as the Asian Mozart. Rahman was born in
1966. His father was Hindi and a musician. Rahman
himself converted to Islam as a result of a family
tragedy. That is when he took his name. His scores
have been composed for some of India's most successful
films including Dil Se and Lagaan, which was nominated
for Best Foreign Film in the 2002 Oscars. With album
sales of over 100 million, his albums have sold more
than Britney Spears and Madonna combined. Soon my
house was full of them. His awards in his homeland
would cause the strongest mantelpiece to groan. -
LOTR as big as star wars? wait long long. LOTR movies were still sucking tits when Star Wars movies were out pioneering special effects and laying the ground work for all special effects today. Sorry ARR can't even reach John Williams, much less Bach.Originally posted by Rahmania:LOTR is just as big as Star Wars and ARR is almost the same league as John Williams in his music......Why ARR? might as well ask John Williams to do LOTR
heres a tip. why don't u stop being narrow minded and accept that ARR's music is not the last word in music, and that not everyone has to like his music, and that those who don't like his music aren't "people who know nothing about music"? u're accusing others of being narrow minded when u're being the most narrow minded person of all here. -
Noted composer A.R. Rahman will score the music for the play �The Lord of the Rings� based on J.R. Tolkien�s famous novel by the same name. The theatrical London launch of �The Lord of the Rings� comes as Hollywood builds the author�s work into its biggest box-office hit series.
A scene from the film �The Lord of the Rings.�
Kevin Wallace is producing the �8-million ($13.8 million) prestigious project of Rahman, meant to be London�s most expensive production ever staged in the city�s theatrical heart, the West End. While announcing the venture in London in October, Wallace said Rahman was needed to write �unique� music, with an �exotic quality� and �brilliant melodies.� The show will be taken around the world as a multicultural global stage performance. Rahman, affectionately known among the British as the �Mozart of Madras,� is to collaborate with Finish folk group Varttina for �The Lord of the Rings.� Rahman had also scored the music for Andrew Lloyd-Webber�s successful Hindi film-inspired London play �Bombay Dreams.� According to theater critics Rahman was an inspired choice to compose the music for Tolkien�s nearly 50-year-old epic story as Rahman is known to Wallace, who has produced several Lloyd-Webber musicals.
