Kochi: Describing Kerala as the "melodic paradise" of India, internationally acclaimed music director A R Rahman on April 26 said he was waiting for the right kind of music to do for the state.

"I have some plans for Malayalam films. I am waiting for the right kind of music for Kerala," Rahman told reporters. But he refused to give details.

Most of his creations had been influenced by Malayalam film songs and "mapilla pattu" (Muslim songs), he said.

Sharing his experiences of 'Bombay Dreams' in which he worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rahman said it was a "nice opportunity" as he gained good experience. The musical might go to New York, he said.

On any other project with Webber, Rahman said Webber was doing his own musical now. There were no ideas at present. There may be some in the future. Rahman is also composing an orchestral piece for Burmingham Symphonic Orchestra. The work will be based on 'Conference of birds', a 12th Century Persian poem. The album was expected to be released by next summer, he said.
