Sharing about the “Ta futures”, Rahman said that the whole project belongs to the people. Collaborating with filmmaker Bharat Bala and Tod Machover, a musician who is known for his experiments in musical industry, Rahman said that “Ta” would focus on the culture of Tamilnadu. “It concentrates on the knowledge and interests of the children. As they are learning in every aspect nowadays, “Ta” is an collective conscious in nurturing them” said the Oscar winner.

“As the whole world is occupied with negative energy such as war, children should not be under such circumstance. Only if their mind gets piece, they would become a scientist or a musician or a politician. We wish to create such environment” said Rahman who received questions after questions from the reporters regarding his initiation.

Meanwhile one of a reporter went off the topic and asked Rahman why movie songs are dominated by loud music unlike the old good songs of Kannadhasan and M.S Vishwanathan. “In old days, musicians prioritized lyrics while composing a song. But nowadays, we couldn’t hear the lyrics as music occupies a whole song. Is it not a recession for Tamil language and songs ??” the reporter asked to which Rahman answered with a smile.

The musician asked the reporter to buy a good system with quality headphones to hear the lyrics of songs which left the people present there in splits. Further he said that not all song are composed that way. “Few songs are very much audible. But some songs are composed with a different intention. They are composed in order to choreograph dance steps and to engage the audience in theatres. We should not see it with a narrow mind” explained the composer to the reporter.
