He wrote, “It was great hosting AR Rahman at Perplexity AI office today. We showed him live demos of our Comet browser and discussed his upcoming project Secret Mountain.”

What Is Secret Mountain?

Many people are curious about what Secret Mountain really is. Last year in February, AR Rahman posted a video on YouTube to introduce this project. The video tells the story of a young woman named Luna.

In the video, Luna introduces herself by saying, “Hey, I’m Luna, let me tell you a story. Like most of us, I have been wandering the jungles of instant gratification, dooms of scrolling.”

Secret Mountain is described as a ‘Meta band’ on its official website. This means it is a virtual band made with AI technology and digital characters from different cultural backgrounds. AR Rahman’s own music compositions form the heartbeat of this project. The idea is to create music that brings together people and styles from all over the world in a virtual space.

Why Is Secret Mountain Special?

Secret Mountain is special because it combines music, AI, and virtual reality. Instead of just listening to songs, people will enter a new world filled with musical characters created using AI tools. The project aims to use technology to make music more powerful, creative, and inclusive.

Rahman wants to use this project to inspire young Indian minds to learn AI and use it for solving problems in society. He believes that AI is not just for engineers but also for artists, musicians, and anyone who wants to build a better future.
