About The Secret Mountain Project
AR Rahman had shared a video titled "Introducing the Secret Mountain" on YouTube last year. While the update did not reveal much, it did drop hints on an upcoming project that Rahman was working on.
The audio in the video said, "Hey, I'm Luna, let me tell you a story. Like most of us, I have been wandering the jungle instead of gratification, dooms of scrolling."
The video laid the groundwork for using an enhanced version of storytelling through innovation, against the backdrop of a mystical metaverse world. It is the tale of a young woman, Luna, who is transported to Secret Mountain, a different world where she meets many varied musical characters from diverse backgrounds. What makes them unique is their style.
Rahman aims to bring singers and mentors from across the world to one cohesive platform. This would include countries like Ireland, China, Africa, and India. The message is simple - music transcends geographical boundaries.
In A Nutshell
AR Rahman is all set to team up with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to build a metaverse where music meets AI. The aim is to build a virtual global band that brings singers and mentors to one platform, and to come up with unique ways of using AI to support Indian creators through technology.
