Assam is reeling from the loss of its iconic singer, Zubeen Garg, who passed away last Friday while swimming in Singapore. In response, those close to Garg are dedicating themselves to digitally preserving his voice, aiming to prevent unauthorized use in the rapidly advancing technological landscape.
Singer and composer Manas Robin, a longtime collaborator, stresses the significance of creating a digital signature for Garg's voice. In an era where AI-generated content is increasingly plausible, this effort aims to ensure Garg's vocal essence remains authentic and unaltered.
As Assam pays tribute, Robin notes the global resurgence of interest in Garg's work. The comfort with which Garg sang in high octaves was unmatched, making his sudden demise all the more poignant. Plans to honor his memory include continued digital archiving of his creations.
