Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy can be brought to TFM

Topic started by Jay (@ 203.124.234.166) on Tue Jan 28 01:28:13 EST 2003.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Remember the Music Director trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the music directors of Kamal Hassan's Alavandhaan. They seem to be missing in the Tamil scene for the last 2 years and they are doing really good in the Hindi field. They have given solid musical hits in Hindi such as; Mission Kashmir, Dil Chahtha Hai. I think they can be brought to the Tamil films again. I feel they are definitely better than Deva and a few others. I think they are the best as far as Hindi Film Music goes after A R Rahman.

I would like healthy comments who listen to Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and have a fair knowledge of Hindi Film Industry.

  hello, mr.ehsaan,
  
  Rudraksh simply ROCKS! gr8 work again!...hope to hear more different soundtracks in the future!
  have u done the bgm for the film??
  
  every 1 make sure, you get a copy soon.
  
  and get rahman's kangalal kaidhu sei too..another masterpiece, in the leagues of roja.
  
  Both(rudraksh and kangalal kaidhu sei), are totally different in style....provide excellent contrast to each other.
  
  MUSIC HEALS!

  Ehsaan, congrats. Your continued participation here is definitely laudable. Have a couple of questions.
  
  1.How do you guys go about communicating the nuances of the tune to the main singer? Does ShankarM handle it or do you just use keyboard tracks? Do you compose for pre-written lyrics?
  2. On an average, how long does composing the base tune take as compared to the time it takes for composing the instrumental parts/orchestration etc.?

  ehsaanji. have you done the bgm for rudraksh??....does it have the same sound of the songs?

  Hi Vijay thank God for Shankar being a good singer he perfectly explains the vocals to the singer.We compose on pre written lyrics too. Sometimes a tune comes in 5 mins sometimes u are stuck for days.

  Selrocks the BGM is done by someone else

  hello ahsaanji..
  
  Why is that in many movies, where u score for the songs, the bgm is don by some1else??...
  
  I mean, your bgm was damn good in movies like Dil Chahtha Hai.
  
  You are not an 'upcoming' group anymore...you have delivered so many hits, and i think you should start making it a point to score bgm for the movies. To me, BGM is the area where the music director is tested a lot...more than the songs...it is the bgm that adds life to a movie.
  
  what do you say about this?

  Adding to what 'selrocks' said,
  
  I am sure, U guys wud have spent a lot of time in getting to the mood of the film and providing songs pertaining to that mood. So it shud be most appropriate for u guys to do the BGM stuff also. Isnt it? Are u guys for some unknown reason, opting out of doing the bgm or are u guys asked to compose the songs only? Anyway, u shud get urself full fledgely involved in the bgms also and enthrall all of us.
  
  Btw, the bgm in aalavanthaan was quite good. I know it was done by the 'Late' Mahesh. Anyhow, just wanted to mention it. The mood created by the songs was not at all lost by the bgm in that case.

  i think this should be a question the producers must answer because background music in bollywood is something producers dont care about except a few good ones. Besides they want to get it done cheap.
  We are happy with what we have done in KHNh , Dil Chahta Hai and Mission Kashmir
  
  
• From: selrocks (@ 61.247.243.31) on: Thu Jan 29 22:37:40 EST 2004
  
  yeah...definitely, your bgms in the movies were too good, and thats why, I was surprised as to why some1 else does the bgm for your movies.
  
  anyway, juz a question....I think the very few producers/directors have got the 'best' of you...like Farhan Akhthar, Kamal Hassan and Vidhu Vinod Chopra. I mean...about getting music thats not stereotypical, yet brilliant. Thats because, all the projects were big ones, unique ones and challenging stuff. So, among your future releases, which do you think is the most challenging, when it comes to composing. In which album in the future can we expect a DIFERENT score, with a diff. sound??
  
  plz do reply..and PLZZZZ do tell us when it'll get released!!!
  
  MUSIC HEALS!
  (btw guyz, arr's meenaxi is a SURE national award winner....listen to it and you'll know!)

  So how do u feel like Ehsaan when someone else who does the bgm uses tunes from ur songs? Does it not irritate to the extreme? Cant u take a stand saying that either u urself do the bgm also else ask them to compose original bgms instead of re-using ur tunes?
  
  Btw Selrocks, I just happened to hear one song from Meenaxi 'Dhuan Dhuan'. WOW!!! Superb. It sounded magical.

  Forgot to mention this. I joined the western classical vocal class yesterday. Hmmmm....Got lots to improve. Esp the accent and diction. The first feedback I got was 'U got to sing it western and not classical' :-)

  hello ehsaanji!
  
  jua wondering...are you a Muslim??..i mean, if you are then gr8!
  
  because, Shankar is a Hindu, Loy a Christian i suppose...and ur name sounds muslim...you trio is a gr8 trio then!...
  
  Symbolizes harmony and peace!...shows music is beyond all divisions!...
  
  have you three ever realised this before??...maybe this could be your 'theme' for ur private album!...what do u say??
  
  
• From: Mirage (@ 128.107.253.41) on: Thu Feb 5 00:10:45 EST 2004
  
  The full names of the trio is as follows.
  * Shankar Mahadevan
  * Ehsaan Noorani
  * Loy Mendosa
  
  And I do think he is a Muslim. It is an interesting titbit abt the trio.
  
  Btw, just checked out this link from rediff speaking abt bgms have gained importance in hindi films :-)

  Hey Guys,
  
  Just a caution. Lets not dwell much into religions and other sentimental topics. We might offend someone unintentionally which might lead to undesirable friction.
