Rajhesh Vaidhya MINUS ONE

recording sessions for Illayaraja sir is that 100 ’ s of masterpieces where are recorded in a 7 to 1 session . A typical session happens like this . Raja Sir enters the composing room in prasad studio at 7 AM sharp and he composes the prelude and 2 or 3 interludes by 8 AM . Then he dictates the score to the orchestra and then by 10 AM the rehearsals are started followed by the final take at 12.30 PM . So there is hardly any time for rehearsal for any of the tough bits which are mostly syncopated and complicated . The tough part was to give my 100 % within that short span of time .
He said though most of his days in a month are with Raja Sir in prasad studio , every month on the full moon day , Mr . Illayaraja always visits Thiruvannamalai , making use of the break composers like S . R . Rajkumar , Vidhya Sagar , T . Rajendar use the Raja sir orchestra for their projects .
Except to recordings for Raja Sir , Sadha sir has scored music for a lot of documentaries that was directed by Editor Lenin . Except for this Sadha , Sir has been teaching Guitar and keyboard at Audio Media .
We have over 100 students here who are learning from Sadha Sir .
