The Metaverse already has nearly everything the real world has – gaming, retail, shopping, land, and of course MUSIC. While the technology is still in its relative infancy, there are already some established platforms that are hosting music events in the Metaverse, creating an increasingly attractive option for artists who are looking for unconventional ways to connect with their audience.

It started with online gaming giant Fortnite and was carried forward by platforms such as Roblox & Meta, integrating music performances into their social / gaming ecosystem. With the advent of web3 & tokenization, crypto-centric platforms such as Decentraland & Sandbox have started hosting concerts in their virtual worlds as value adds.

Closer to home, Mumbai-based Metastar Media Pvt Ltd partnered with NY-based immersive event & gaming platform Spatial.io to launch their metaverse venue Aurionsphere and has been hosting weekly concerts showcasing exciting emerging talent from the electronica music scene in India. 

“Introducing new tech & experiences and building a community around it requires patience and sustained effort. It doesn’t happen with one-off events. While we aren’t the first company in India to do a show in the metaverse, we definitely are the first to make a longer-term commitment to push the envelope and develop this space for the music industry. And we are learning as we build”says Shatadru Sarkar, Co-Founder of Metastar Media.  

Immersions is Metastar’s weekly metaverse showcase of the rising stars of the underground music scene to an audience hungry for new experiences and new sounds. “There are only a handful of clubs in this country that accommodate artists outside the usual mainstream commercial / Bollywood music programming. For DJs pushing new sounds and niche genres, Aurionsphere is a great alternative! I played my first metaverse gig there and it was surreal!” – says Delhi-based DJ / Producer Su Real, winner of The Remix Season 1, on Amazon Prime.

Echoing the same sentiments was Mumbai-based DJ Citizen Kale – “It’s refreshing to have a space that allows 100% creative freedom to play for a community of like-minded music lovers, and not be bogged down with populist demands of a venue. And seeing my friends in funky digital avatars dance to my tunes was just crazy!”.

Reji Ravindran, head of artiste liaison and business development at Aurionsphere, adds “The idea of Aurionsphere is to create an inclusive environment that embraces subcultures and provides a platform to explore new sounds, new experiences, and connect with a global community of dance music enthusiasts. It’s accessible by anyone, anywhere, via a smartphone / PC / VR headset. We are running our IPs but are also open to collaborating with artists, labels, and festivals to extend their existing events into the metaverse. We have the perfect white label solution – tried and tested.”

Digital avatars. Metaverse venues. Interactive environments. Virtual reality. It’s early days but ripe time toventure out and explore the great digital unknown. Welcome to the Future.

Their tenures were marked by a series of monumental decisions that shaped the country’s destiny and propelled it to the forefront of global influence. Through strategic vision and decisive actions, these leaders etched their names in history, leaving an indelible legacy that defined an era of unprecedented success and progress. One such prominent leader was the late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. 

Atal Bihari Vajpayee was an influential statesman, and Indians hold his legacy in high regard. &TV is set to explore the untold aspects of his childhood through its new show, ‘Atal’. Produced by Euphoria Productions, the show will deep dive into the formative years of the leader who played a pivotal role in shaping India’s destiny. Set against the backdrop of British colonial rule in India, the show will delve into the intricacies of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s childhood, shedding light on the incidents, beliefs, and challenges that moulded him into the leader that he was. The storyline will highlight his relationship with his mother, who deeply influenced his beliefs, values and thinking. On one hand, India was facing slavery under British rule and on the other, it was facing internal strife and division of wealth, caste, and discrimination. A dream envisioned by Atal’s mother of a united India was a dream he deeply cherished. This storyline unfolds the inspiring story of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a boy from humble beginnings who became one of India’s most prominent leaders.

On &TV’s new show ‘Atal’, Vishnu Shankar, Business Head – &TV, commented, “At &TV, we strive to create content that resonates deeply with our audience and inspires them through relatable and meaningful storytelling. Our latest offering, ‘Atal’, is a compelling story ofShri Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s formative years. His image as an eminent leader, poet and orator is known to everyone, but most are unfamiliar with his childhood. The storyline offers a unique perspective on the early experiencesand challenges that shapedhisbeliefs andvalues and moulded him into the leader and human being he was. We are honoured to be sharing his story with our audienceand we hope they are equally entertained and inspired.”

The show’s Producer, Aarrav Jindal of Euphoria Productions, added, “Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a luminary of eloquence and wit, imprinted an enduring legacy on Indian politics. Fusing political acumen, personal charm, and unwavering commitment to national welfare, he stands tall as a revered leader in India’s history. Vajpayee reshaped the political canvas, aligning it seamlessly with our cultural roots. A statesman fostering economic growth, he bridged diverse factions, earning admiration across people. His decisions propelled India’s global ascent, embodying profound wisdom and foresight. Vajpayee’s inclusive leadership, promoting progress and unity, remains an everlasting inspiration, transcending political boundaries. Our show, ‘Atal’, seeks to kindle today’s generation with his timeless legacy and charismatic persona, unveiling his untold childhood narrative.”

Shanti Bhushan, Writer of ‘Atal’ show,shared, “Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee reshaped Indian politics, infusing it with a fresh perspective rooted in our cultural heritage. His deep connection to Indian values and traditions gave mainstream politics a distinct identity. Vajpayee’s political legacy, built on pride, love for the country, and patriotism, laid the foundation for a united India. In today’s globalised world, preserving our identity and nationalism is a crucial challenge. Our show, Atal, aims to inspire today’s generation, providing a platform to nurture ideas that uphold our country’s pride on the world stage. Vajpayee’s life story is a compelling narrative, guiding today’s youth to contribute globally to India’s cultural vibrancy and significance.”

Talking about his role as Young Atal, Vyom Thakkar commented, “I am very excited and equally thankful to depict Young Atal’s role. I had only heard about him in our history books and from my parents, but I never imagined that someday I would portray his childhood role in a television show!” Sharing details on Krishna Devi Vajpayee’s role, Neha Joshi commented, “I am honoured to portray the significant role of Krishna Devi, Atal’s mother. Despite Krishna Devi’s profound passion for history and politics, she gracefully transitioned into a devoted supporter of her husband, Vajpayee Ji. Her life’s mission is to maintain harmony within her family, standing firmly behind her husband’s choices. With a rock-solid resolve and deep religious conviction, she silently opposes British colonial rule, fervently desiring India’s liberation. Krishna Devi is the foundation that shapes her son, Atal. She instils in him her unyielding vision and a natural inclination to question the status quo. She may not vocalise her views to the world, but she embodies a genuine desire to see her beloved country, India, break free. Her unyielding commitment to her family, unspoken defiance against colonial oppression, and influential role in shaping her son’s destiny make Krishna an exceptional character.” 

On Krishna Bihari Vajpayee’s role, Ashutosh Kulkarni commented, “It is a proud moment for me to portray young Atal’s father on screen. In 1930, Krishna Bihari Vajpayee, a devout educator and nationalist, led a Brahmin household with four sons and three daughters. A devoted nationalist, Krishna Bihari firmly believes in the permanence of British rule in India, advocating for cooperation and respect towards the colonial powers. His aspirations for his family are deeply rooted in education, emphasising the mastery of English, academic excellence, and the pursuit of government employment.”

Tune in to watch ‘Atal’, premiering on Dec 5th at 8:00 pm only on &TV!
