The Gods are Calling by Shravni Sangamnerkar and Tanya Chaturvedi

Concept: Through our approach of unifying machines and humans to re-discover God, we propose a simple experiment from the lens of Hinduism (being active practitioners ourselves), positing that the sound of music is elemental. We aim to reframe our relationship with the technological future, not as a binary, but as a triad: Man-Machine-God. We've explored the divine through mantras and mudras, with future plans to collaborate with various religious teachings and find common threads. Consider the profound parallels: Our cloud servers, vast and omniscient, holding the sum of human knowledge—are they not the modern manifestation of the Akashic records, the cosmic chronicles? These are the building blocks of recognising the eternal patterns that have always existed. Within the vast repository of human experience, every sacred text, every circuit board, and every line of code has its place. We will work with 108 (a holy number in Hinduism) sounds—from the ancient tanpura to the modern malls. This auditory exploration challenges us to rediscover, to perceive with our ears what our eyes cannot see, similar to the buildup of a beat and the drop. We explore these cycles through AI, traversing the cycles of time—the Kaal Chakra—from the cacophony of Kaliyuga to the harmony of Satyuga (time markers from Hindu scriptures). Identifying our current scenario (Kaliyuga) with the hope of ascending towards light. Our task is to reduce the noise—not just auditory, but spiritual—that interferes with our connection to the good (or God) within us.
In this "City of Gods," where the beep of a processor is indistinguishable from the Om of the universe, the gods are calling. Will you answer?

Collaboration: As two individuals of the same belief across the world, we are combining our sounds with our culture.
