MJ to be ‘Subject’ at A R Rahman’s Music Conservatory


ANI Posted online: Saturday , Nov 14, 2009 at 1335 hrs
Nevada : Entertainment icon Michael Jackson will be a subject at Oscar winner musician A R Rahman’s KM Music Conservatory, according to reports.


Rahman himself will reportedly give the inaugural lecture on Jackson. Rahman loved Jackson’s music and has said about Jackson in the past: “one of the greatest musicians of our time… pushed the milestone of Pop music to unbelievable levels… I am yet to find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision…”

During their meeting in Los Angeles (USA) earlier this year, when Jackson showed Rahman a five second example of his dance move, Rahman stated: “It was like a lightning strike”.
Jackson even reportedly asked Rahman during this meeting to compose a unity anthem. Jackson collaborated with Rahman on Ekam Satyam track in 1999. Rahman is reportedly developing an album in memory of Jackson, which will include musicians from all over the world.

Founded by Rahman (who is also its Principal), KM Music Conservatory in Kodambakkam area of Chennai in Tamil Nadu state of India envisions expanding the horizon of musicians in India by offering education in both Indian and Western music besides music technology and its mission is to provide students with a strong artistic, intellectual, and technical foundation.

T Selvakumar is the Managing Director of this international school of music and music technology whose tagline is "Become the Future of Music". Conservatory offers Preparatory Program (2-5 years), Foundation Program (1-2 years), and Degree Program (three years) under affiliation of Middlesex University in United Kingdom (UK), and has proposed to offer Diploma Program (one year) for international students) and Masters Program (two years) with concentrations in music performance-composition-technology-education. Many faculty members have degrees from USA and UK. Sound editor Joe E. Rand (Titanic) has lectured here besides demonstration by Vienna Chamber Orchestra.

I would love to read or hear that lecture. If someone finds a link to this lecture please post it in this thread. When will the lecture be held ?

And an album, interesting. I wonder which artists will participate and when it will be due out. Any idea on the name of the album yet ?

Thank you for posting this!
 
A R Rahman has good music, and is also a musical genious. I'd like to hear Ekyam Satyam which is supposedly MJ's duet with Rahman, taken off Invincible album.
 
I'd like to hear this too. I can't remember who it was, but there was an interview with another artist (@ the premiere I think) who said they would be taking notes while watching TII. I think that more and more formal education/study type formats on Michaels' artistry are gonna become common in the future.

Because with so many fake popstars these days, the music industry is sure in need of some HELP.
 
That's really awesome!!

I know that when I went to college in California, there was actually a Beatles course! Perhaps one day they will have an MJ course, as well.
 
This is fantastic to hear. A R Rahman is one of the greats in music compostion and a brilliant vocalist too. It's nice to hear him and Michael met and worked on music. The Ekam Satyam track....now that's something I have to hear.
