அடடா, மறுபடி சாமியார் டெக்னாலஜி தொடங்கீருச்சா?

சரி, சரி, ப்ளம் அவர்கள் சொன்னது போல 2009 "இந்தியன் சம்மர்" தான் போலிருக்கு...

I was just recalling an old tfmpage theory that IR's music changed totally when he first got into sAmiyArism (some felt it lost the spontaneous nature).

2009 was a lot different with sparks of original IR spirit (including controversies). Looks like 2010 is back to late 80's...

BTW, this particular news item is not a 'sontha vAzhkai' prachnai but a public appearance / stage show stuff

In any case, the only relevance to us is how it's gonna affect his next musical output.

From Vikatan's Rosappoo Ravikkaikkaari review

ஒரு படத்தை பின்னணி இசையால் எந்த அளவுக்கு உயர்த்தலாம் என்பதற்கு இந்தப் படத்தில் இளையராஜாவின் சிரத்தை ஓர் அளவுகோல். கிராமத்து இசையில் இவரை வெல்ல இனி ஒருவர் பிறக்க வேண்டும், திரையுலகில்!

The film released in 1979.

That theory was by a good friend and one of the most original writers/poets I've seen - Udhaya !
While IMO, that's not entirely true, but that burst of energy you saw in that irreverant/brash/young Raja was missing in the calm/composed/mature Raja that we saw after thAi mookAmbikai...

Another friend Sankaran, whose theory I have to agree with is that Raja lost that booming tabla after 1989 (compare the tabla in "dEvadhai...oru dEvadhai" from pattAkathi bhairavan, vs chinna thambi numbers...that deep/'metallic' sounding tabla was lost somewhere near "enga ooru pAttukkAran")

There was a concert of Raaja that DD telecasted in 80s. I was jealous of the tabla guy with a gold ring in every finger....

Ilaiyaraaja, his zealous demystification-debunking of the mystical elements of classical music during the late 1970s and 1980s, proving that all of 'exploiting' music is purely an intellectual process - followed by the man's transformation into someone who began claiming that it all came from 'somewhere' - a deeply ironical self-contradictory position of someone who took the extreme opposite side of his perception of where all his creativity came from!

this man (just as his music is!) is difficul to comprehend!
