He is referred to as the 'Beethovan Of The East'. And why not, he brought in Technology-based music to India and now, the great musician plans to start an authentic Indian orchestra. Rahman has put forward his first step and has established the KM Music Conservatory, which will act as a bridge between music, technology and culture.

A very spiritual guy by heart, Rahman opines, "I gave my conservatory the name of 'KM', as I feel that these initials will bring me luck and are spiritually bound".

When asked about the need of such an orchestra he points out, "To create good orchestral music, we take nearly two months and this is one reason why music directors often fly abroad to record orchestral music where they finish their work in just 2-3 days and get back", argues Rahman.

So what will the KM Music Conservatory bring to India? The musician says, "Here, the techno savvy sound engineers will learn the art of composing music and will learn to use instruments, while trained musicians will work on their technological skills and on the art of sound recording. All combined, we will create the Indian Orchestral Music".

Speaking of the growth of orchestral music, Rahman quips, "Mark my words, orchestral music will be the future of film music".
