Authentic Sitar and Surbahar Studio Recordings
I record my sitar and surbahar compositions in professional studios to bring a pure, organic Indian classical sound to your documentaries, films, and digital projects.
This is where the music takes shape. In the studio, I focus on capturing the pure, rich acoustic sound of the Sitar. This clip from a recording session shows the process of creating the high-quality instrumental tracks I offer for your projects.
A behind the scenes look at my recording session for All India Radio in Bhopal. Professional recording environments like this are essential for producing the clear, broadcast quality audio that I provide.
Another view from the sound engineer's perspective during my recording for All India Radio. Every track is carefully monitored to ensure the final audio is perfectly balanced and ready for broadcast or use in your video projects.
A studio session in Pune, working on a piece in Raag Bageshri. Recording in a controlled environment allows me to explore the nuances of each raga, resulting in a more emotive and polished track for your use.
Here I am testing a new pickup microphone specifically designed for the sitar. I am always working to improve my recording techniques to deliver the most authentic and resonant sound possible in my audio library.
About Studio Recordings for Professional Projects
Every track I share here is recorded with dedicated acoustic pickup microphones to capture the true resonance of the instrument, avoiding the flat sound of digital synthesis. When you license a track from my library, you receive a high-resolution WAV file along with full written clearance, ensuring you can use the music in your YouTube videos or advertisements without worrying about copyright strikes.
Bringing Indian Soul to Your Screen
Music needs to carry 'bhav' (emotion) to truly connect with an audience. Whether you are editing a documentary about Indian heritage, a corporate brand film, or social media content, synthesized loops often fail to capture the subtle nuances of a real instrument. My studio work is dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the original raga while ensuring the audio meets professional broadcast standards.
Technical Quality & Licensing
I focus on the intricate details—the 'meend' (glides) and 'sparsh' (touches)—that make the sitar sound alive.
- Audio Specs: All tracks are recorded in controlled environments, mastered, and delivered in high-resolution (48kHz/24bit) to ensure clarity in post-production.
- Usage Rights: Every purchase includes a non-exclusive, perpetual commercial license. You get the master recording and the legal permission to whitelist the content.
Custom Compositions
If you need something specific that isn't in the current library, I offer custom services for:
- Brand Intros: A 60-second original composition tailored to your brand's emotional brief.
- Background Scores: Longer, narrative-driven pieces (calculated per minute) where I synchronize the musical highs and lows to your video cuts, using either the melodic sitar or the deeper, meditative surbahar.
If you have a specific raga or mood in mind—be it the peacefulness of Raag Bhimpalasi or the energy of Raag Todi—let me know. I can create a piece that fits your vision.
