how rahman composes music for a film-

1.Rahman gets an offer from the director , and he studies the script&
everything . If he likes it then he agrees else he drops the offer.


How Rahman composes a song-
2. Then he sees the actor/actress and accordingly to that he determines the singer.

3. Rahman asks the director to give the exact situation of the song and he asks why
it is needed.

4. If he is satisfied & then Rahman sits and composes the song on his own and in his voice
records every song.

5. Calls the singers after 12 am in the night [ Mark it only after 12 am ]
and makes them to hear the tunes.

6. Then the Recording starts . He never modifies the song as per the singer but he
modifies the singer as per the song .

7. Every sound in the studio is recorded even if a singer sneezes or coughs
it is recorded and it is edited . If u remember in Kadhal Virus there is a
song by Mano( O Kadhale). There he coughs at one part. He had coughed it in
the first day and then Rahman never got any realistic cough after that so he
simply included the original cough.

8. A song recording goes upto 3-4 days . Sometimes male and female singers
are separately recorded and then successfully mixed

9. After the vocal part is over, music starts . He gives his idea to his musicians
and then the musicians suggest the background tune . 90% times Rahman
doesn't like them and then he himself gives the notes and the musician have
to play them. Few songs however had tunes inspired by his musicians like his
flutist Naveen and drummer Sivamani. The musicians love ARR since he gives
them freedom and helps them grow their talent .

10.Later the vocal is added to music or vice versa and then comes the
technical part. Every interfaces start working , every part is edited ,
reedited and software are used and lets not get much into it ,but by the
time a song is finalized it is one month and the best version is out. Some
say he uses technology, but come to his studio you will know he uses
technology only to polish stuffs.
