I decided to record the Jeans movie theme music today... It is a beautiful theme music composed by Rahman ..
If you would like to listen to it, you can find it Here
For some reason, my phone camera keeps zooming in and out throughout.. I think it kept trying to refocus on my fingers, and never gave up .. ;)
Anyway, I would like to give some technical insight into the playing of this piece for my readers here - This piece looks very easy to play, but infact it isn't. The right hand plays a very simple tune here. However, the real challenge is in keeping the left hand rhythm very stable and consistent while the spacing between the right hand notes change randomly. Keeping track of these two very different tempos requires conscious attention because the right hand is randomly syncopated with respect to the left... You often dont play a note on the right when the left hand is playing a note, sometimes you play a note also on the right when the left hand is playing, and sometimes, the right hand plays a note between two left hand notes.
So, this song is in some ways more difficult to play than some songs which have far more complex right hand notes, but which are always spaced equally apart. Playing this piece in a sense requires two different brains working in tandem - one focussing on the regular left hand pattern, and another focussing on an abruptly changing right hand pattern.
