My night life has been active in the last fortnight. It has been movie time all along. In 15 days (or should I say nights) I have seen American Pie I, II and III, X-Men I and II, Gods must be crazy I and II, Euro Trip, Road Trip, Thenali, Padayappa, Look who is talking, and an entire season of Friends sitcom.
Yesterday (early in the morning today), it was Nayagan. From 0100 hrs till 0330 hrs, I was hooked onto the screen. And after some twisting and turning, I managed to sleep at 0500 hrs.
Quite naturally, I was late to work which has been a regular phenomenon due to my nocturnal life. Today, I was caught red-handed and have been issued a warning. Hmmm a real bad way to start my day and the blues only got bluer.
P.S. Been listening to Mayil iragey and Maramkothieyey (from Ah Aah) since morning when my friend pointed out they have the same tune. Am sure it would have been ARR’s idea. Simply superb.

Ha ha ! The grass is greener on the other side ! I am now trying to get out of it. Been losing lot of sleep and been turning up late at work.
ReplyDeleteI think I wud save it all for the weekends.
Yeah so thats the reason u were 'not in a position' to receive my call?? eh!! I hope nothing serious. So life's rocking?? What about ur companion?? U didnt breathe a word about him/HER?
ReplyDeleteOkie dokes Somu, take care. I still wont quit buggin you :o)
the song Aararai Kodi is quite gud number
ReplyDeleteactually, u shld 've felt proud of getting a warning.. some similarity between Nayagan & u here...
Sonal,
ReplyDeleteThe movie starts only after 1.00 AM and as for the call, nothing is serious. I will explain when we get to speak.
Satish,
Yeah the song is nice. And AR Rehman himself lending voice to it is a plus. I think this song is more of a message from Surya to the one's who forced him to change the name from BF to Ah Aah.
Definitely a blockbuster album.
Smyta,
ReplyDeleteThat's one killer update. I am going to take time to respond to it. Hope you wudn't mind that.
Meantime I shall check out tuneblocks...
Just pasting your update here for the benefit of anyone who would chance upon this comments section
***********************************
Very intresting observation you have here.
A few things...
The songs you are talking about(I am guessing What I think are the ones you were talking about)
There is a considerable difference in the tonal differences in these songs that some people just cant hear. The pitch and the timbre of the beats are the key stuff that makes you distinguish the difference.
Electronic mixing cn develop unique sounds to coordinate same tunes on different processing levels of acoustic audiblity.
So like we can see a colour image and distinguish it as WARM or BRIGHT or LIVELY ..you can distinguish the same tune in different scales. Tones and overtones are caused by the resonance effect these beats cause.
If you talk to a professional musician , he would be clearly telling you the beats in these two songs are warm and mellow (or)bright and clear .
So typically , IMHO, what Rehman has tried to do is repeat at each lug , keeping an uniform pressure and distance, creating identical tones(moreso seemingly identical tones). Easy distinguishing of the two songs as I mentioned earlier comes with the power created by the resonance effects on the tones and overtones of the beats.
Hope this doesnt seem like a whole lot of rubbish. It may be for several reasons. One of them could be that I am yet to graduate my course on Musical and Theatre Arts.

Grab an ear training software. You will see the face-off of Rahman!:p
Smiles etc.,
