Singer Ankur Tewari describes himself as a "big propagator of technology" in reference to the release of his album "Akela" in spatial audio.
"Big propagator of technology"
One of the newest styles that motivates musicians to employ technology and elevate their work is spatial audio. Akela, a music album by singer Ankur Tewari, was just made available on Apple Music with support for spatial audio. Gully Boy, Gehraiyaan, Guilty & Yeh Ballet, and more films have featured Tewari's soundtrack compositions. Tewari explained his usage of this contemporary technology by stating that the spatial audio feature instantly transfers you to a whole different setting.

If you're not familiar, spatial audio is similar to a 360-degree sound format that uses speakers and headphones to provide a surround sound effect. With the frequency, it conveys a sense of direction.
According to Tewari, the "Akela" album contains a wide-ranging soundtrack. Making it was quite exciting because it takes you to an other universe. When you put on the AirPods, spatial audio creates the impression that you are seated in the middle of an amphitheater with the musicians simply surrounding you. As a result, it provides a really unique experience.
When Tewari was asked about the inspiration for the songs, he said that he began recording this album during the epidemic. He explained, "It was largely about meeting electronically and then we finally mapped up in a studio. It was heavily reliant on FaceTime and voice notes. Recording it was a unique experience. Due to the limited availability of spatial audio gear,
He described the process of recording music with spatial audio, stating that it was the same for the recording but different for the spatial audio mix, which took him roughly a week.
He added, when discussing how technology was changing the music business, "Technology always has an impact on any creative form. When the recording music industry first emerged, there was opposition to it because you wouldn't be listening to it live, therefore the experience would be different. But technology is all about that. It enables you to embrace and appreciate the art form in new ways and creates new opportunities for consuming it.
The "big propagator of technology" is how he describes himself.
Tewari also discussed the potential effects of artificial intelligence on the industry in the ensuing years. He said, "It depends on how you use this technology and how you stay within the bounds of ethics. The industry will be significantly impacted by it. Just as we have done with other technologies, it all depends on how you use it and navigate. He admitted that artificial intelligence (AI) could eventually displace many workers in the music industry. "We need to come up with innovative solutions for people whose jobs will be lost due to AI," he continued. I believe it may be advantageous if issues like these are resolved.
