Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman recently met OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to explore potential collaborations in music and artificial intelligence. Among the key topics was ‘Secret Mountain’, an AI-powered virtual global band designed to push the boundaries of digital creativity. The meeting also focused on expanding the role of AI in education and creative problem-solving, especially for Indian creators.
Secret Mountain: Where Music Meets AI
‘Secret Mountain’ is a visionary project that merges music with advanced AI tools to create cross-cultural artistic experiences. Designed as a global platform, the initiative encourages musicians and technologists to collaborate in real time. As AI continues to shape the creative world, this project stands out by integrating storytelling, performance, and innovation in a virtual space. Furthermore, it reflects a broader shift in how technology is redefining artistic expression.
In addition to this AI initiative, Rahman is involved in multiple major film projects. He is currently composing the score for the upcoming Ramayana film series, which features top talents from both Indian and international cinema. Notably, the legendary German composer Hans Zimmer is also contributing to the soundtrack. While pursuing futuristic tech-driven ideas, Rahman remains deeply committed to traditional film composition, balancing innovation with cultural heritage.
