KARACHI (The Thursday Times) — Junoobi Asia ki qadeem tareen classical gayaki ki riwayaat mein se aik ke ameen Saami khandan ko Mozilla Foundation ki jaanib se aik aise mansoobe ke liye muawanat mil gayi hai jis ke tehat khayal gayaki ko record kiya jayega aur is ka mutala kiya jayega, aur is kaam ke liye istemal hone wale aalaat ki milkiyat khud khandan ke paas hogi.
Yeh mansooba, “Infinite Raag”, Artists Make Technology ke pehle group mein shamil 20 mansoobon mein se aik hai. Yeh programme Mozilla aur Doris Duke Foundation ki sarbarahi mein Hewlett aur MacArthur foundations ke ishtirak se chalaya ja raha hai, jabke Ford Foundation aur Omidyar Network bhi is ki muawanat kar rahe hain. Mansoobe ki qayadat Saami Brothers ke Rauf Saami kar rahe hain, aur un ke saath qanoon ki professor aur un ki shagird Nermeen Saba Arastu, aur Baltimore ke ghair munafa bakhsh idare Center for Cultural Vibrancy ke Josh Kohn shamil hain, jis ka naam is group mein darj hai.
Kaam kaise hoga: mansoobe ke tehat Ustad Naseeruddin Saami aur un ke markazi shagirdon, yani un ke beton Urooj aur Rauf, ki ghanton jari rehne wali gayaki record ki jayegi. Awaz, biometric sensors aur Maghribi 12 suron ke nizam se kahin bareek waqfon ke liye banaye gaye pitch tracker ko aik saath chala kar un lamhaat ka naqsha banaya jayega jinhein mansooba “gehri hum aahangi aur mawraiyat ke lamhaat” kehta hai, aur yeh bhi dekha jayega ke gayaki khud gane walon par kya asar dalti hai. Masnooi zehanat ke yeh aalaat “razamandi par mabni, ghair takhleeqi aur fankaron ke zer-e-intezam” honge, yani yeh mauseeqi ka tajziya karenge, is ki naqal tayyar nahin karenge.
Mansoobe ke mutabiq “masnooi zehanat ki tarbiyat ke data mein aksar zabani, jismani, roohani aur nasl dar nasl muntaqil hone wala ilm shamil nahin hota.” Rauf Saami ne kaha ke yeh mansooba “masnooi zehanat ke istehsali istemal ko challenge karna chahta hai aur aisi technology ko farogh dena chahta hai jo saqafati khudmukhtari, tahaffuz aur mawraiyat ki talash mein madad de.”
1946 mein paida hone wale Ustad Naseeruddin Saami ko surti sur ke nizam ka wahid zinda mahir mana jata hai, jo aik saptak ko 49 bareek suron mein taqseem karta hai. Unhon ne 10 saal ki umar mein apne chacha se seekhna shuru kiya, aur yeh ilm isi tarah, sun kar aur aamne samne baith kar, apne beton ko muntaqil kiya hai. Yeh khandan apna silsila taqreeban 800 saal peechhe shayar Amir Khusrau ke halqe tak jorta hai, aur Ustad Naseeruddin Saami ne 2025 mein Aga Khan Music Award jeeta.
Aik aisi riwayat ke liye jo sirf zabani taleem ke zariye zinda rahi hai, yeh recordings ab tak ka sab se tafseeli record ban sakti hain ke ise kaise gaya jata hai, aur yeh record usi khandan ke paas rahega jo ise gata hai.
