A.R. Rahman is just incomparable as a music composer, says Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, adding that the Indian music maestro has created "deliberatively manipulated moods" for his new film "127 Hours".

Rahman, who won two Academy Awards for doing the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire in 2008, came in for high praise for his music in Boyle's new film "127 Hours" which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) currently under way here.

"It is quite rare to watch someone who is so musically just extraordinary really...and he inhabited the world (in '127 Hours') we are trying create silence with...sometimes there is silence, but sometimes it is a kind of ambience silence he created," said Boyle of Rahman.

"And all the time, Rahman created very deliberatively manipulated moods to reflect his characters or pushed in through something."
