I did not know until seeing this talk that Rohail is not only very talented in music industry but he is very sharp, analytical, psychologist and a philosopher as well. He should be authoring books on his such intricate thinking. Great man and please come back to Coke Studio Pakistan. People all over are waiting for you to show your ingenuity, excellence and originality in Pakistan music again and making it enjoyed by the people all over the world.

[@Rohwit]

Easily one of the best sessions you will ever see. Thank you Harvard. The entire subcontinent is blessed to have Rohail's presence on its music scene. His sensibilities and understanding of music, universe and the singularity of the two oozes out of his work. So glad to be alive in the same era as Rohail Hyatt.

[@pbhushanbsb]

+Roh wit , Hey yo .. we meet again old friend (if you remember me from the malang party comment thread):D :D I felt I was just "nudged by the universe" to this video.. dunno how, dunno why.. but watching the first 40 minutes GAVE ME SO MANY ANSWERS i've been seeking on my spiritual journey. I've been playing the guitar for 5 odd years playing altered tunings, influenced by artists like Andy Mckee, DOn ross, But my approach towards string theory will never be the same i guess. Awakened a bit today

He's so intense to listen in to... Would be so much fun to hang out with him. Thanks for that insightful discourse my friend.

[@sandeepprabhu4937]

I have always revered Rohai Hyatt. He understands everything about things which I do not understand - both, at a musical level and zooming out, at a sound and spiritual level. I feel he is much more than a prodigy. As an Indian, I draw parallels between him and AR Rehman. Thoroughly enjoyed this talk. All I can do (as I said to myself) was to strive to absorb at least a small portion of the profound knowledge which he shared. And even that would suffice to make us significantly better individuals and significantly better listeners and 'appreciators' of music. Hats off Sir!!

[@tariqmushtaq627]

I want to listen to the music philosophy of A.R.Rehman ........Do you know any lecture he delivered........pls refer

[@sandeepprabhu4937]

[@songlover91]

Thumbs up to those who actually stopped watching coke studio after Rohail Hyaat stopped producing music for it. May b his concepts acted somewhere deep down inside us... after his sessions, no session was as deeply, beautifully and musically created ( again, from the perspective of the “feel”). God bless this multifaceted,multitalented human being who understand the life’s philosophy, dynamics, energies and its connection to the universe... where we all actually belong ! 🙏👌👌

[@zurainshah2035]

Ali Noor was a bit good may be because of all that experience with rohail hayat.. He even looks like and acts rohail Although you cannot ignore the magic of "par Channa de"

[@zurainshah2035]

And even Ali Azmat had some debates on TV that there are some notes that are destroying the soul of music that became the reason of him leaving Junoon

[@sou2910]

Absolutely enlightening talk. A music genius who gave us 6 marvelous seasons of Coke Studio for which Pakistanis can never thank him enough :) I didn't know that he is such a good speaker as well :)

[@ekramulhoq5883]

He is more of a philosopher than just musician. I hardly believe there is a second person in the whole planet like him who is so knowledgable, so enlighten, so complete and light years ahead of his time specially in the era of loud & shout music (noise); yet so humble & genuine. I used to wonder, how I am connecting to something so well while i don't understood a single word at times. Now i know, it's not just music, it's magic. It's nature, we are nature, nature was always there but somehow we managed to disconnect ourselves from us. Your sound is just breezing the gap again & again. May God bless you The Living Legend; and always keep you in good health. Can't thank you enough for anything & everything; for your magic in the name of music.

First time being introduced to Rohail Hyatt, after being a fan of Coke Studio Pakistan since 2010. Brilliantly mind blowing or mind blowingly brilliant. Now I know why I truly like Coke Studio. Everything in that studio in Karachi has been tuned to particle-wave duality level. It's inescapable.

[@thegypsytribe6339]

This is not just experiment, its a transformation you went through. For centuries the mystical sects of Sufis and Sages of India, monks of Tibet, Masters of Zen have used music as a tool to wake up to the inner music or the cosmic sound. Rohail Hyatt, it is such an insight as to why it was so. Also, much much love from India :)

Jeez! I did not know Rohail Hyatt was such an intellectual! I thought he was just another music composer who made it big with his talent and passion, but listening to this, it sounds more like a quantum physicist or spiritual guru. Very impressive!

[@baigmusic]

Rohail, maybe you can try tuning those songs from Zeppelin, Floyd, Doors, etc., to 432Hz to enjoy em like you used to. This was an absolute treat to listen to!

[@huzaifamumtaz]

This was in my Watch Later playlist for a long time and today listening to him, I regret why I deprived myself of this beautiful conversation. The man is a theoretician and a great intellectual in himself. 100% agree with Mooroo's comment: *This man is not just a music producer he is a thoughtful and philosophical leader.*

[@PGuj]

Well this comment of yours clearly shows how much you've understood this video....btw you are not even an iota worth of the Burmans so STFU

[@farhanhafeez9909]

Lol. This is too much

[@PGuj]

@Life's Good oh c'mon...is that how well you understand music?...BTW the songs that you say were “copied”...RD made them so much better in every way...so much so that even the original creators would be proud of the outcome. Having said that, not everyone can understand musical nuances and not everyone needs to be musically literate...so clearly can't expect that from you. Btw, the video is about Rohail Hyatt and if you were to ask his opinion of RD, I'm pretty sure that he himself holds RD in very high regard like many of his contemporaries do. So my humble advise to you although you haven't asked for it, keep shut about stuff that you understand and enjoy the damn video. Nincompoop.

[@PGuj]

@Life's Good LOL...seriously man! what makes you think I haven't heard the greats like Illayaraja & AR Rehman ...let me add a few more to the list for your own good Ousepaachan , Harris Jayraj, Devi Sri Prasad etc. all well known south indian composers who I've keenly heard and enjoyed listening to...I could list some more but hopefully you got my point. Have you ever heard the intricate basslines of Tony Vaz and Charanjeet Singh, the orchestration and saxophone of Manohari Singh , the rhythmic arrangement of Marutirao Keer, Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia and Pt.Ronu Mazumdar's flute playing in RD's songs? These were/are accomplished musicians who were a part of RD's core team . And Guess what! ...they also played for many great composers from the south on many occasions including the one's you've listed. Have you ever even paid attention to how beautifully RD harmonized his songs? He was a seasoned classical musician himself. Maybe that's the reason why Gulzar saab always had the best of his songs given to RD to compose. But seems like none of this is ever going to make any sense to you so I'll leave it at that.

The most interesting talk on music in awhile! Great to hear The Recluse Rohail speak in words (instead of through music). Soul is replenished with natural music and agonized with noisy music, no matter how much one likes current sounds.

[@AdeelKhan1]

Having lived in South Asia, I can understand most of what Hyatt is saying. The point at the 1:13:35 minute mark sums it up pretty nicely. "The important thing is to realize that you are not going to change the world around you. But the one thing you can change, is yourself."

[@MM-yq2mc]

#RohailHyyat, I respected you before as well but after listening to this interview, I'm overwhelmed. I now know why Coke Studio 🎙 was so much impactful when you produced it. The theory of the natural tunes and frequencies are an eye opener. I never thought you might be so open to such topics and may have spent so much time to study this. Hat's off. I wished to meet you in person before but now I hope I could do it soon.

[@AnisChandio]

Wow just wow.. One of the best interviews ever. Loved his take on God, Music, Nature. I am just awestruck tbh. I have been his huge fan but after this interview i can call myself his follower. Love his thoughts Love how he thinks and perceives the world. Love his productions but as a person i love and respect him even more. Rohail dude you are an inspiration.

[@amitjodha9057]

Some people are different than others, and you know that just by listening to them. As a science student, a music lover, a spiritual enthusiast, a history buff, a personality analyzer and learner in general, these one and a half hours have enriched me way beyond I could have imagined prior to this experience. At some points, I may have thought him to be stupid and may have not got his reasoning clearly, but eventually, I must say that this guy is beyond the average human psychology. I love how he spent a lot of time experiencing these things instead of just speaking them without much pondering, he well and truly has created the best show for the lovers of music. I welcome Rohail Hyatt to produce Coke Studio once again in its twelfth season, I honestly believe that what was lost would be brought back and things will turn to more legendary from now onwards.

[@shamsmujaddidi4586]

[@abulfadhl605]

Thank you for posting this interesting talk. I found Dr. Ali Asani's political views and comments on the ideology of Pakistan failing or succeeding are somewhat irrelevant to Rohail Hyatt's contribution to the music traditions of the sub continent. His question was more of a comment. Perhaps in future postings his introductions and questions could be edited to be shorter to keep the focus on the guest and the message of the guest.

[@vikramjitsingh]

Beautiful. Not sure how much to delve into the unsubstantiated scientific ideas he gave, but the idea is to think further, and that's certainly happened...will be very grateful if anyone has suggestions for further reading/watching on all the things he spoke about(ragas, how plants respond to frequency etc)

[@rameezrather5385]

he must have observed phototrophism where a Plant grows towards light..maybe there was some light source in his room. Regarding his hair growing back i think when he secluded himself ,he got away from all the pollutants that might have been affecting his hair. But all things aside hes a great musician and i love his performances with JJ and Vital signs.

[@abidfarooqui-sla3301]

Rohail used to be in Vital Signs when I moved to the US in 1989 to study engineering and got exposed to Modern Physics at some point. Today is the first time I am hearing from him or of him again. The extremely strange thing is how he is using Quantum Physics, duality of nature and way at the end he thinks of God ... well for many years, actually decades I have been doing that also and almost exactly with same understanding. Reality is certainly stranger than fiction. I really wonder how many people on their own, alone have started to do these thought experiments with similar understanding as results. Usually you would never talk about these things in detail to anyone

There is a reason why Coke Studio is one of the greatest music production on the planet. He is a very evolved and conscious person. And he is using music to express what he has realized. 1:10:00 is right, there is a reason luna (moon) and lunatic word comes from.
