“I played a couple of ideas and then had this unusual texture underneath which was like this little granulated kind of pipe organ almost like a scratchy record which he started [inaudible] brilliantly. "Oh I love that song." And when things go fine, it's good. So he started loving that song and that song was used quite a lot in the movie which is very granulated stuff on the guitar.” KindLittlesIdeasUsedSongStuffRecordsFineCoupleGuitarUnusualOrgansPipeTexturePipe Organs Author:A.

“I listen to everything. As I told you, sometimes I just want to shut off from music and be silent. Then I play a song and it's refreshing. It's almost like initializing yourself. Recently I was in South Africa doing a press day for my tour. I listened to this band called "Freshly Ground." They were doing a live gig there so that's the last thing I've heard.” WantSometimesPlayLastsSongHeardBandPressesSilentSouthSouth AfricaGigsRefreshing Author:A. R. Rahman
“What is good is what it's going to lead to, like the song "Jai Ho." If good numbers are going to come in the future, it bodes well for a lot of things. But then, who's going to maintain that. That's the question. So far they could never lead to an Indian song, like a normal film song in this that they can relate to.” IfsWellsFilmSongNumbersNormalRelateIndian Author:A. R. Rahman
“I've been doing music for many years and after a point what is the motivation that drives you to compose and to do stuff? I did this song for the U.N., a fighting for poverty anthem. That's when I realized that I could do a foundation. And when I started the foundation, it was basically to fight poverty and to help - that kind of stuff.” YearsKindHelpingMotivationSongFightingStuffPovertyFoundationI RealizedAnthem Author:A. R.

“My first experience of that was with my first movie which I did in India. And it was so different from other people. I find that "Oh my God." Every time the music is slow I feel that people are going to get up and go out. You get this nervousness. But, to my surprise, people starting singing the song even before it came in. They started singing along a week later, after release, which was very cool.” PeopleFeelsFirstsDifferentSongWeekMusic IsSingingIndiaSurpriseStartingGet UpReleaseNervousnessVery Cool Author:A. R.
