00:00First of all, welcome to INS. Thank you.
00:03First of all, Zanna Sangha, family and Dega-Chang,
00:07to compose Nagami's version of Nagami's version is a unique challenge.
00:11How do you have to approach the original vibe to maintain,
00:16and Nagami's cultural identity be authentically represented?
00:20What did you learn when I was composed in this shop?
00:24First, my third collaboration with Raj N.D. K. is my third collaboration.
00:27He did Gunzan Kulab, Citadel, and he did it.
00:30He was already a grab-o with them.
00:32When he told me, it was a challenge for us,
00:34because this theme is already composed of Kamal.
00:37Season 1 and Season 2 was already composed.
00:40So, the composer for me was that
00:44the authenticity of the theme was to keep it.
00:47This show is set in Nagaland.
00:49So, we have to incorporate that Nagami's tribal vibe.
00:53So, I went to Nagaland for that.
00:57Then, there were different kinds of instruments.
01:00Nagami, log drum, Tati's instrument.
01:03Then, there were different horns.
01:05The wind instruments.
01:06There were different kinds of instruments.
01:08We tried to record it there.
01:10And, along with them,
01:12I incorporated them.
01:14So, it was very interesting and unique.
01:16It was very unique.
01:18And, I think, it was good.
01:22These days, I was just reading a lot of film critics.
01:26And, everyone mentioned my name.
01:28Someone wrote that it's the highlight of the show.
01:32At Nagami's version.
01:33Composed by Amanpani.
01:34So, it's good that you have done something.
01:36The first two seasons were so big.
01:38Their music was big.
01:39But, the third season is big.
01:41The third season is also big.
01:42So, the music is also appreciated.
01:44So, it's a good thing for me.
01:45You created our opening title of music.
01:48Which basically,
01:49Season 3 is phonic identity set.
01:51So, after season 3,
01:53How did you adopt a new musical perspective for this season 3?
01:59See,
02:00There was no different musical perspective.
02:02The show was unique.
02:03Because it was set in Nagaland.
02:04So, for me,
02:05As a composer,
02:06For me,
02:07It was icing on the cake.
02:09Because,
02:10The instruments that I've never heard.
02:12I'm in a movie.
02:13I played a record.
02:14To record them,
02:15I think,
02:16It was an interesting thing.
02:17So, I did that.
02:18And,
02:19I incorporated it into theme music.
02:21So,
02:22That was Sonic NDD.
02:23So,
02:24It was organically,
02:26The demand was also.
02:28It happened and it happened.
02:29It was great.
02:30And it was good.
02:31How did you become a creative conversation with the series?
02:33With Raj and DK sir, as I have told you, there is a third collaboration already we have that repo
02:46and I have so much fun with them because they give you an open shot
02:52they say you experiment you know it's like a canvas
02:55they tell you their vibe and they tell you what they want and all that
02:58but then after that they open you as a composer to experiment
03:02see any music is a collaborative you know
03:05this is a collaboration between the makers and the composer
03:08so that collaboration was always there
03:10I sent something, they said something, they said something
03:13but it is that they gave me a lot of freedom to compose
03:17the title was composed but after some moment you felt like this is the sound
03:27and then when I heard the instrument, the log drum that I heard is so great
03:33it's a big instrument, it's a big rock of 10 feet, it's a big rock of 10 feet
03:37which is hollow from inside, it's 10 people are playing
03:41so that sound was so great, I never heard that sound
03:44so I thought, what sound is this sound, you know
03:47it's something which is, I didn't hear this sound
03:51when I didn't hear it, I thought it was a lot of new
03:54and it has its own sound
03:56and then they have a horn, it's like shank
03:58but it's a bit different from shank
04:01it's like a horn, wind instrument
04:03that I thought it was a lot of fun
04:04it comes in the theme
04:06so I thought these two instruments
04:09I thought it was quite unique
04:10and it can give a wife in the show
04:14Sir, I thought we had a single papa
04:16that we had a musical universe built here
04:19and a song plus background music
04:21and you handled it completely
04:23so how do you balance your work flow, song and score
04:25and score balance?
04:27see, these are different things
04:29although I personally believe
04:31that one person is very good
04:33like in the old days
04:34R.D. Burman has also played the music
04:36and the score of the show
04:37so what happens
04:39when you are making it
04:40you know that this is my universe
04:42I have made its sonic identity
04:43so when you are making it
04:45you keep it from the same perspective
04:46but when you are making it
04:48but when you are making it
04:49when you compose the songs
04:50the songs are more like storytelling
04:52versus when you are making it
04:54versus when you are making it
04:55so the score is to
04:56it's not to show your talent
04:58that you are making it
05:00it is to highlight certain scenes
05:02and certain emotions
05:03so the score is a different understanding
05:05but the totality
05:07if there is a film or a show
05:09then you will know that
05:10I have to keep it
05:11I have to keep it
05:12or I have to use the sound
05:13I have to use it
05:14so when you are making it
05:15so when you are making it
05:16you are making it
05:17it will help you
05:18to build a sound
05:19Sir, the emotional range
05:21is quite wide
05:22romance, drama, drama
05:24introspection
05:25and how do you feel
05:27in sad fact
05:28through your film
05:29how do you feel
05:30about the protagonist's journey
05:32and how do you feel
05:33about the journey
05:34see
05:35this show
05:36is releasing on 12th December
05:37this show is so unique
05:38and I think
05:40there are so many emotions
05:41and fun
05:42as you said
05:43romantic
05:44somewhere
05:45a little bit of romance
05:46somewhere
05:47it is
05:48actually
05:49it is a love story
05:50between the father and the son
05:51so
05:52that love story
05:53that emotion is there
05:55you know
05:56dancing
05:57because Kunal's character is fun
05:59my song has released
06:00Gigi's kindness
06:01and
06:03already
06:04it is so fun
06:05it is so fun
06:06it is so fun
06:07emotion
06:08so the other songs
06:09were like situations
06:10for me
06:11that
06:12you know
06:13that I had to create
06:14different ways
06:15fun sequences
06:16that sequences
06:17were so fun
06:18unique
06:19where there was emotion
06:20where there was drama
06:21the songs
06:22was organic
06:23process
06:24that you have to create
06:25that sequence
06:26so the script
06:27was so good
06:28and the storytelling
06:29was so good
06:30that the songs
06:31are good
06:32from the background score
06:33what advantage of a composer
06:35is that the musical language
06:37is cohesive
06:38you have to design this
06:39or design this
06:41or design it
06:42no
06:43when you know
06:44that I score
06:45and I make songs
06:46you make a palette
06:47like
06:48our main song
06:49which is the main song
06:52between the father and the son
06:54so that song
06:55composed first
06:56when that song
06:57composed
06:58then
06:59we played that melody
07:00we played that melody
07:01because that is a very strong melody
07:03so
07:04when you know
07:05that you are going to do
07:06both things
07:07you also see the song
07:08as a composer
07:09you know
07:10as a composer
07:11that is something
07:12when you are doing both the things
07:14that is something
07:15when you are doing both the things
07:16that is an effort
07:17as a composer

07:19this music
07:20which song
07:21or score

07:39that is the main song
07:40which is

07:54it's a love song
07:55between you and
07:56your daughter

07:59was very close for me
08:00and that song
08:01was my first song
08:02that I made Ishroka
08:03when you create
08:04a new world
08:05sonic identity
08:06like a family man
08:07like a spider
08:08like a spider
08:09like a father
08:10like a father
08:11like a world building
08:12like a father
08:13like a father
08:14how did you start
08:15when you heard
08:16something
08:17in your mind
08:18in your mind
08:19maybe
08:20in any way
08:21I think
08:22that ideas
08:23come from
08:24that energy
08:25universal energy
08:26universal energy
08:27gives you ideas
08:28so
08:29in your mind
08:30you are thinking about it
08:31and one day the idea comes in
08:32whether you are driving
08:33whether you are
08:34you know
08:35anywhere you are eating
08:36it's not necessary
08:37that I will sit in the studio
08:38and the idea will come
08:39and the melody will come
08:40anywhere
08:41it can come
08:42but in your mind
08:43it's very necessary to be
08:44in your mind
08:45it's very necessary to be
08:46with me
08:47you switch between different journals
08:48you switch between
08:49folk
08:50cinematic
08:51atmospheric
08:52emotions
08:53how do you ensure that
08:54your signature voice
08:55in your project
08:56will be present
08:57so
08:58I don't try desperately
08:59that
09:00I will present you
09:01that
09:02I have a musical understanding
09:03and a musical style
09:04and
09:05every composer
09:06has a sense of
09:07but
09:08in my mind
09:09I will try
09:10what is better for the film
09:13or the show
09:14rather than me coming ahead
09:15whenever we are
09:16composing for any
09:17you know
09:18cinema medium
09:19which is an audio-visual medium
09:20so
09:21in that
09:22my target
09:23is
09:24that
09:25show
09:26or the film
09:27or the moment
09:28rather than
09:29I am
09:30showing myself
09:31personal
09:32or something
09:33that
09:34in that time
09:35I have to highlight
09:36that emotion
09:37so I have a special
09:38challenge
09:39that
09:40happens
09:41if I am creating something
09:42that has to be my vibe
09:44that will happen
09:45but
09:46the challenge
09:47is that
09:48whatever situation
09:49can justify
09:50it
09:51among
09:52the music world
09:53we can see
09:55people
09:56do not

10:58do
10:59do
11:00do
11:01you
11:02do
11:03original create yourself
11:05if you are sitting here with God's grace
11:08as an artist, you have an expression
11:11if I say any other expression, then it won't be my expression
11:14so you have to try your expression
11:17rather than copying from somewhere
11:33you have to try your expression
11:35or do you have to try your expression
11:37or do you have to try your expression
11:39see, this is a common question
11:41every other person is asking
11:43because if any technology comes
11:45we think that this will get worse
11:47before the music was done
11:49the musicians came, everyone came
11:51it was a very good vibe
11:53then the technology came, the tapes came
11:55then the digital came
11:58today we are making music on software
12:00so I think technology is coming
12:03somewhere else
12:04some of the things
12:06people's involvement is less
12:08but if you think technology
12:10as an artist, I think it is a tool
12:14whether it is AI
12:17I think the songs are not good
12:20because what are we missing
12:22because the songs will be made
12:24but where is the human emotion
12:26see, song is about expression
12:28that it is my expression
12:30that it is not my expression
12:32so what it lacks is
12:34is emotion and expression
12:36songs will be made
12:38but I think that
12:40making songs
12:42then where is the artist
12:43and I think that
12:44no artist will do that
12:45it is more of a helping hand
12:47sometimes
12:48it is more of a creative block
12:49for you to listen
12:51like we listen to songs
12:52as a tool
12:53you can use it
12:55I have not used it
12:57but I think eventually
12:59technology grows
13:00you have to be
13:01with the technology
13:02I am not against
13:03any kind of technology
13:04if we use it wisely
13:05if we use it
13:06in which way
13:07if we use it
13:08then no technology
13:09doesn't do anything
13:10anywhere
13:11technology is there
13:12to help you
13:13so if we look at helping
13:14if we are going
13:15if we use it
13:16to help you
13:17you can use it
13:18to help you
13:19to help you
13:20What should you do with your struggles and how you overcome it?
13:50But I think that today's date is so great. We are so technologically advanced.
13:55We have all those things that you need to bring in the future.
13:59You just need to sing. As an artist, you just need to sing.
14:02If you have content, you have mobile. You have Instagram. You have YouTube. You have Spotify.
14:08There are so many mediums you have. You make a song and put it.
14:12You know, just post your song out there and the rest of God's hands, people's hands, how to sing.
14:16So, don't sit at home and sit at home. You have to make a song. Just make a song. Go out there.
14:25And then, see how it is.
14:27One thing is that we also participate in the shows and participants.
14:34So, it seems that the original songs are the same as Hindi songs.
14:43But sometimes, it's like this. Sometimes, it's like this. Sometimes, it's like this.
14:48Sometimes, it's like this. Sometimes, it's like AI through their sounds.
14:52And then, it's like presents.
14:54So, it's like a good version of it.
14:56See, AI through to you, Autotune has been there for the longest time.
14:59I think that it's Autotune, but it's also a tool.
15:03I think that it's like a singer.
15:06Now, it's like human error in singing. We're all good singers.
15:10Today, the music is so perfect that it will be perfect.
15:13Autotune is a tool to make it sound better.
15:16It doesn't make the sound sound sound.
15:19But if you have a little bit above it, you use it.
15:23And you use it very intelligently.
15:25Autotune is a very good tool.
15:27So, I think these are all the tools.
15:29The rest of the music, you need to make the music first and make it sound better.
15:33The technology is very easy.
15:35But I say that learning is very important.
15:38That learning is very important.
15:44Rather than depending on AI or something else.
15:46You need to do it.
15:48The future project is very interesting.
15:55I'm very happy.
15:56The next year, Amazon's film is also coming.
16:00I have made another Netflix film.
16:02There is a theatrical release.
16:04I will not say the name right now.
16:08Because what happens?
16:09There are tentative names.
16:10There are some other names in the release.
16:12So, there are 3-4 good projects that are also coming.
16:14With RajDee, there is also another project.
16:16So, I think 4-5 good projects are lined up already.
16:19I'm working on some of them.
16:21So, for the next year, there are also good releases for me.
16:24When you have composed this song,
16:27What was your reaction to Manoj Ji?
16:31Or what was your reaction to Manoj Ji?
16:33See, everybody loved it.
16:35Manoj Ji was talking directly to Manoj Ji.
16:38Because as a composer, we usually tend to communicate with the makers.
16:43We talk more about the makers.
16:45Like, RajDee was talking about me.
16:47But, when I was talking to Manoj Ji,
16:49Everyone liked the theme music.
16:51Everybody was appreciating the theme.
16:53I think, it's a good one.
16:55What message do you think of the fans?
16:58The message is that you listen to the songs.
17:00You listen to the good music.
17:01I think you listen to me.
17:02You listen to me.
17:03You listen to me.
17:04But it's important that you listen to the good music.
17:06You share the good music.
17:07You listen to me.
17:08You listen to me.
17:09You listen to me.
17:10You listen to me.
