I focus on adapting my Sitar phrasing—like Gayaki Ang—to suit the specific melody, ensuring the recording sits perfectly in your final mix without needing excessive post-processing or multiple retakes. Collaboration is the heart of my work. I have spent years refining my ability to listen to a composer's needs, whether they are working on a commercial ad jingle or a contemplative film score. My process involves deep preparation, including Raag consultation to ensure the mood matches your chord progression, and precise micro-tuning to align with electronic DAWs. Receiving an 'A' grade from All India Radio was a grounding moment in my journey, reinforcing the technical discipline I bring to every project. It is not just about the technicalities; it is about the stories we tell together. From recording at professional studios with talented composers to jamming for devotional projects, I treat every session as an opportunity to learn and contribute something authentic. If you are looking for a collaborator who understands studio discipline, respects the creative brief, and brings an organic Sitar sound to your project, I am here to help. ## About Chintan Katti I am Chintan, and I live for the dialogue between the Sitar and other instruments. I love collaborating with composers and artists who want to bring something raw and soulful into their work.
