Thank you so much! HJ has a way of getting into our heads in a very subconscious way... you won’t even know you have been inspired by him! I wanted to analyze how this happens... so glad u enjoyed, 🖐
Wonderful Analysis !! And I also noticed that for his popular tunes on major scales - He mostly tends to follow Canon in D chord progression patterns ( for eg : Nenjikkul Peynthithum and Kaathal Konjam ) . ALas, he is one such rare composers who is a pure genius in sound engineering and mixing .. His tracks have that unique and perfect blend of low and mid-frequencies that give a soothing feel .
The word HAJAX for his signature style city-based romance melodies - This episode is only about one A... There are more musical properties inside the other letters: H, A, J and X. We’ll get to them in future episodes. 🙏
I'm glad that these music analysis videos are being made. but I don't understand the video. Every composer will have a scale comfortable to them. For Harris it happens to be C Minor, For ARR its E Major, For Hans Zimmer its D Minor. What is special about Harris here ?
Very good analysis..👏👏 I've been listening to harris songs since childhood Also he mostly prefers minor chords than major that will give us more emotion. He enforces that chord with a cool chorus/strings/pads throughout the song or at High points. As you said, the saxophone is his signature lead instrument that gives us a smoothy feel. His signature scale is Bm which will sound more urban and stylish.
Wow...really that gave great insight of HAJAX songs. Very informative video. A BIG THANKS to you. And we will be waiting for your future videos on this.
Yes... My favorite music composer ever😍😍 the product he gives with the extraordinary quality is always awsm🥰😍 and i always realise that Harrish must composed this song before seeing the composer's name...!! 😁😍😍😍
Hi Shriram! I came across your channel after starting Suvai Snippets program... Great stuff very happy to see your works! Missed replying to you here. Happy New Year!
HAJAX! It’s like being in the Matrix. The HAJAX is all around us and we don’t even know it. Even other composers might be influenced by it, and not realize! Haha! That is HAJAX!
Sure. For years, I believed that unique styles or SUVAI are there for each composers and I can say music directors of many songs by just listening it. I always wonder that some technique they have and tried to find that particular notes or scales that each one use. Amazingly I also found something like this. Vidyasagar style, Ilayaraja styles, A R R, Raveendran master in malayalam, Johnson master and so on.. Then I tried to make tunes in their patterns. Amazingly, the styles can be recreated in a form of new melody. I think different people like different type of melodies, but these successful music directors know what is the most catchy one for soul of many of us.. 😊
Harris often, takes a U turn and goes Dorian in the interludes, something I haven't seen many composers do often, and when Harris does it he does it so well, it sounds very musical. Still people call him out for using same chords, which is absolute rubbish coz that's how the entire mainstream pop music works.
Very good. I appreciate your interest and effort for making this vdo. In terms of melody you explained it very well. however in Harris songs the technical details like tone, vocal, harmony, approach to arrangement and mixing are also very unique and fascinating.
Thank u... I hear you!! 🙂This is only part 1. A snippet. Will keep revisiting HJ. This channel is young... keeping videos short - even for this length, the stats tell me that people watched only one third!! Only after couple years they will watch longer videos. We can do a long “Harris digest” episode later...
I'd argue many of them can also be in Dorian rather than Aeolian, but the 6th is used sparingly in many songs. If you notice many of the songs you played, the 6th (Ab) never shows up (making it unclear if it's Dorian or Aeolian). It typically shows up later in the charanam at a higher point of the melody, and there are many songs that modulate back and forth between the two scales, changing between using an A and an Ab for dramatic effect.
If music can be put as mathematics of permutations and combinations of notes and scales, the video you've made makes much sense as an intersection of music as an art and as a science/math. Beautiful analysis of patterns mam. Great work.
It’s the desire to make a name for Harris Jayaraj hits... because he is a composer who made a signature brand of hits... one has to go back and forth between the letters of his name and musical properties of his signature style, to reason out a name: H-A-J-A-X. It’s not without its pitfalls, but in general, it fits and sounds cool enough. I’ve planned musical properties for HAJ as well 🙂.
BINGO! So doing whatever I can, to demo his genius to the general non-musician audience... it is not easy to create a signature style across movies and please the director of each movie AND give mega hits.... It would be fair to say he has created a style/genre of urban romance music for Indians... Hence HAJAX...
@@suvaissance but it sounds the same which will be like listening to one song all the time.. now harris is out of Tamil film industry coz he never experiment different music like arr does or raja sir did in the past
The flat 6th, i.e. the G# in this case is a crucial part to get that aeolian sound/feel. Only vaseegara used that note and none of the other songs which you played, seem to have that note. In fact, the 6th was hardly used in any of the melodies. So how can we say that aeolian is his signature for romantic songs? Nenjukkul peidithe is also a romantic one. But it is in major scale. Even mutyala dharani from seventh sense has a completely major feel throughout the whole song and that is alos a love song.
Yeah, not just playing in minor scale means to have uniqueness. But Su Krish mam tries to explain the unique romantic touch that is peculiar to Harris. I'll tell how he does it. 1.All composers compose in minor scale. Their songs have the flats n sharps excluding the narural notes to add a feel. But Harris songs stay within the natural root notes. They don't have the flats n sharps as in Melodic or Harmonic minors. 2.The chord placement. He uses the main four chords of the scale of a song and arranges them in such a manner that it sounds so soothing. Rarely he goes for a different chord for special feel. 3.Harris songs start with a catchy prelude, simple but beatiful tune and a well harmonized chorus portion that is easily registered in our mind and makes us hum that repeatedly. Also his bass rhythm beats automatically makes us tap our feet. Thus Harris stands unique with his signature. We can easily identify his songs even among a group of 100 songs. 💯💯🖤🖤🎶🎶
This type of romantic music the urban like because of use of mobile headphones love listeningduring travel and that too after returning from office or school many don't want heavy music. Listening such music and after getting a seat in bus / train several listeners would have missed their destination too.
Sure! Will do others... I am so glad you said the word “decode” 🙂... indeed that is the sense in which I am using the word “Suvai” (getting to the core essence of what makes something beautiful). We will decode and get to the “Suvai” of many pieces of music, art, and through that, touch upon some societal issues too.
Harris Jayaraj peoduced the master album when I was 07 years old as kid in 2001,This film advised in sun tv about minnale film and Harris spoken his intro and we'll reserved this film
If you see the num of projects Harris did per yer all these years the avg is 3 per year. That's like one movie per 4months. Including songs and background scores. That's much quick work than the num of projects international producers and artists do. Yes, IR and AR are faster than that, that's coz they have people with them to get their work done fast despite sacrificing on some quality. Everyone talks about template, IR is someone who used the same template of sounds and orchestral patterns throughout his career, never cared to experiment on different sound scrapes at all. No one targets him. People always want to find reasons to undermine Harris. Every international artist has their own template, its called signature style. They work in a single genre most. Harris has experimented on various genres, he just won't go too offbeat boring songs and call it experimental, that's all. People who say Harris follows the same template have only listened to his most renowned songs I guess. Have you listened to his tracks like, Malazhi Malazhii, Mayeera, Pada Pada, Kumari, Ragasiya Kanavugal, Moongil Kaadugalae, Rangu Rangamma, Pinchi Tendalae,.... I could keep going.
I started HAJAX because of sentiments similar to yours 🙂🙏...that “youthful Indian pop music” sound: There’s things like the wo-hu wo-hu sound, the gibberish... everyone does it now but it’s Harris who started this...
Thanks a lot again madam. Please keep em coming. As much as u have to teach about composing, I have the appetite to learn, and hopefully there are many more like me. Please make many videos on Harris, Ilaiyaraaja, Rahman etc. Very eager to learn 😊🙏
