About My Musical Journey
I treat every recording, whether for a commercial project or a personal reel, with the same level of care as a live concert. My studio tracks are recorded with professional acoustic microphones to preserve the rich, natural resonance of the Sitar and Surbahar, ensuring you get a clean, high-fidelity sound that fits perfectly into your edit without needing extra processing.
My Path in Music
Music has been my lifelong companion. My foundation lies in the Guru-Shishya tradition, and I have spent years refining my craft under the guidance of Acharya Pt. Bimlendu Mukherjee. This journey, from early practice sessions at home to performing for organizations like Gaanvardhan, has taught me that music is not just about playing notes; it is about communicating a specific 'bhav' or emotion.
Professional Services
Beyond live concerts, I am dedicated to providing high-quality audio for modern creators:
- Custom Scores: Whether you need a 60-second Sitar intro for a brand film or a minute-by-minute Surbahar background score for a documentary, I focus on syncing the melody to your narrative cuts.
- Digital Licensing: I offer a library of pre-recorded, studio-quality tracks. These include pure classical Ragas for a meditative atmosphere, as well as light folk and devotional tunes for varied content.
- Collaboration: I enjoy working with young filmmakers and digital creators. My goal is to make Indian classical music accessible for your content, whether it is a YouTube video, a corporate promo, or a social media reel.
Why My Music Works
I record in a professional studio setup to ensure my tracks are ready for post-production. You will receive high-resolution WAV files that are professionally mastered. When you choose a track from my library or commission a custom piece, you gain a non-exclusive license that allows you to use the music across your digital platforms without worrying about copyright strikes. If you have a specific vision for your project, let us discuss how we can bring it to life through the strings of my Sitar.
