00:00The best thing I could find to, you know, kind of join with Indian classical rags was the Hollywood scores.
00:23Sounds familiar? Now try guessing this song.
00:30These international scores have now been draped into Indian ragas. With sitar, sarangi and tabla, Tusharlal transforms the familiar into something deeply Indian.
00:45Indian jam project is essentially merging western scores and western tunes with Hindustani classical rags.
00:54Think of it as Hans Zimmer meeting Pandit Ravi Shankar.
00:57It's not just about fusion, it's about finding the perfect note that binds two worlds together.
01:12One note and a global hit turns into a raga.
01:15In Coldplay's FIXIV, I can change one note and kind of make it come closer to this raga called Nath Bhaira.
01:22After working in Bollywood, Tushan knows the industry well. But when it comes to choosing between film projects and independent music…
01:39Independent is a lot more fun because it's a blank canvas. But then in our industry and in our ecosystem, you make leverage by like, you know, kind of doing film work.
01:52As artificial intelligence starts making its way into music, Tushar has a clear thought on what should never be replaced.
01:58I think that it should not overtake creativity. Because creativity is supposed to be the last barrier for artificial intelligence.
02:07So what drives him? The fame, the money or something else entirely?
02:11The aim was never really money or to make money from this. The aim was always that, you know, like, we should just show that, you know, what Indian classical instruments can do.
02:19And in the end, that's what it's all about. The joy of creating music that speaks every language.
02:25It's a beautiful feeling when you're on the stage and when you're just having fun, you know.
