Mohit Chauhan talks about AR Rahman using technology in music
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Mohit Chauhan was asked about today’s culture of using AI to create music. He shared, “Dekhiye, agar digital… Ab jaisey Rahman sahaab hai, Rahman sahaab technology ka isteymaal kartey hai. Lekin unka jo human feel hai, unkaa jo melody bananey ka andaaz hai, usmey hamesha ek naya-pan rehta hai (Look, when it comes to digital… Take Rahman sir, for example. Rahman sir uses technology, but the human feel he brings and the way he creates melodies always carry a sense of freshness).“The singer further added, “Itney saalon sey woh kaam kar rahe hai, phir bhi har melody aapki aatma, aapki soul, jo musical feeling hoti hai, usko attract karti hai. Usme ghus jaati hai (He has been working for so many years, yet every melody of his touches your soul, your inner musical feeling. It reaches deep within you).”
Mohit Chauhan says quick fame in music will not survive
The singer added that those who make music in rush, it doesn’t have soul in it He said, “Gaana ek generation tak chalta hai, you know. Toh aise log bahut kam hote hain. Jab jaldbazi mein business ke liye fatafat gaana bana diya jaata hai, toh woh different ho jaata hai; kai baar usme soul nahi rehti. Par log accha kaam bhi kar rahe hain, toh umeed hai accha sangeet sunne ko milta rahega (A song lasts for an entire generation, you know. Very few people can create something like that. When music is made hastily just for business, it turns out differently—many times it lacks soul. But there are people doing good work too, so hopefully we will continue to hear good music).”
