Join Telegram ChannelMusic is an integral part of our lives, and it has been evolving since its inception. The digitalisation of music has undoubtedly changed the way it is being created and consumed. The use of technology has made it possible for musicians to create music at a faster pace, but it has also led to the neglect of traditional instruments in India. Puneet Dixit, a creator, composer, and singer, who has been roped in to compose the music for the upcoming sequel of ‘1920,’ talks about the trends that he has noticed in the present music scene.
According to Puneet, digitalisation has been good for saving time and effort in the music industry, but if it leads to the abandonment of Indian instruments and styles, it is not good for the future. He emphasizes that India has a vast array of instruments that are unique to every culture, and digitalisation is killing them. In his opinion, to bring back the trend, Bollywood should embrace classical Indian fusion music. Puneet adds that the new generation is not aware of Indian musical history and needs to be educated about it.
As an artist, Puneet has a dream project, but he believes he is already living his dream. For him, success is being able to compose music for the sequel of ‘1920’ after listening to its music as a school-going kid in 2008. He also considers himself fortunate to have worked with Mahesh Bhatt, and every project is a dream come true for him.
Puneet is against the trend of recreating old songs and killing them. He feels that it is like murdering the memories of old legends, and it is not setting a good example for the new generation. In his opinion, these are bad impacts on great songs, and many people don’t want to listen to the originals anymore. He believes that music should be soulful, and it cannot irritate him if it has soul.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, and the music industry was not immune to its impact. However, Puneet considers himself lucky that he was occupied with work during the peak of the pandemic. Some TV shows were running, and he created songs and stories for them, which helped him explore himself a lot during that phase.
Puneet Dixit is not only a musician, but he is also a storyteller. He believes that storytelling is an essential part of music, and it should be used to spread positive messages. For him, music is not only a form of entertainment, but it is also a way to connect with people on an emotional level. He wants to create music that inspires people and makes them feel good about themselves.
