AR.Rehman on Background Music
Just as many on PFC were discussing about Editing, Background music, comes a very informative interview of AR.Rehman. He says,
Background music is something that needs ten times more energy than making songs. You can do songs for four more films in the time you take for composing a background music score for just one movie! In the West, they are amazed that in Indian films the same person composes both the songs and the background score. But over here, whether it was Naushadsaab in Hindi films, Ilayaraja down here or most other composers, we have had this tradition almost as a culture

Told you so..
haha..yeah..Jaiganesh :-)
I remember watching an interview of Vidhu Vinod Chopra, about Eklavya. He said that they had first composed a background score for a particular scene (I think the one with the camels and trains), and then shot the scene in ’sync’ with the music. That seems like a rather painful, (and possibly expensive) way of going about things. What could the possible advantage be ?
@KVJ maybe to sound eccentric ;)
