tracks n layers .. listening to my Holidayz !!!
... though hectic it was a fun filled weekend!
Saturday morning I started for chennai, got into 14:30 (25th oct 2008) train [bangalore-chennai express] after getting into the bogie i felt bangolore's upparpet / chikkpet is scarcely populated... !!! yappa it was all men hands-up all around with stinking armpits :-( its a 6 hours journey and i was lucky to get a seat @ 17:30 !
My pal Shyam was waiting @ platform #1 when i reached chennai @ 20:40 .. We had yo-yo dinner at sangeetha .. and then he took me to his hostel room in Adyar where he studies .. its a forest with deer, monkeys and black bucks all around .. few nerds will be walking on the roads at late nights .. and people recognizes that place as IIT-madras ... till was almost 2am when we slept
.. and the morning sun rays hits the eyes (26th oct 2008) ... after all the daily chores we were at the light house ..
there we met the Director (Hari) and the Executive producer (Shiv) of my movie Holidayz!!!
they took us to the A M studio, but i preferred to visit a hotel first ;-)
they it was all sound all around .. Hari sir made me to listen all the raw tracks .... i felt the songs are competing each other. Guru Prasad (Music director) pitched in.. Dinesh (Sound Engineer) was patient enough to playback the songs on every request ....
that day, Guru was on vocals .. i was with the head phones trying to maek sure the pronunciation was approriate .. some how trying to contribute what ever i can for that movie in all aspects .... we got lunch from sarvana bhavan .. and then .. I and Hari started discussing the Dialogue portions and the screenplay of it .. either Hari was in a good mood or the i was fortunate .. he really liked hte sequence what i discussed with him .. later we met Keath the base-guitarist who is A R Rehman's team mate ! man ..! he is one professional dude! it was amazing to watxh him on the strings .. he filled the incompleteness of the songs ..!!
By 19:00 .. it was Guru who stood in front of mic to get some expressive vocals for a song .. it was a raw track rendering time from 20:30 ..
it was almost 23:30 when we completed dinner and started towards bengaluru .. . shiv drove around 100km and then it was me on his ikon for 100 more .. it was around 3am (27th oct 2008) .. i request hari and shiv to take a break for 10min .. but we all got up .. it was 6:15 !!! then .. shiv and hari dropped me to my home and a warm wish and a smile [happy deepawali :-) ] .. with a great weekend becoming a part of my history ... i was in the loo at home ... hehehehe
