Whether you need a subtle melodic layer for a background score or a prominent, rhythmic sitar feature for an ad jingle, I focus on capturing clean, noise-free stems that sit perfectly with your existing production. If you have a specific mood or a reference track in mind, I can improvise and adapt my playing style to match your vision during our studio session. ### Your Sound, My Sitar Whether we are working in a studio in Mumbai or collaborating remotely, my goal is to translate your vision into a sound that tells a story. I understand that production timelines are tight and creative needs change, which is why I prioritize flexibility. If a scene needs a particular emotional weight or an ad film requires a specific rhythmic hook, I work to deliver it in fewer takes. ### Technical Precision Great studio recordings are about preparation. I use a concert-grade sitar tuned to specific frequencies like A=440Hz or 432Hz and employ close-miking techniques designed to capture the sympathetic resonance of the instrument while minimizing plectrum clicks. You receive high-resolution, dry, clean WAV files that are ready for your mixing engineer to work with. ### What I Bring to Your Project * **Background Scores & Ads:** I specialize in improvising fillers and bridges that enhance your video edit. From corporate uplifting themes to traditional festive sounds, I adapt instantly. * **Film Songs:** Whether you need double-tracking for depth or a soulful solo melody, I can follow Western staff notation or Indian Sargam. * **Remote Work:** Can’t make it to a Mumbai studio? I provide high-resolution dry stems with a 48 to 72-hour turnaround time. If you have a project file or a reference track, share it with me. Let’s discuss how we can bring the right texture to your audio. ## About Chintan Katti Music is my life, and the sitar is how I express it. Whether I am jamming with a dear friend or recording in a studio, I love being part of a team that creates something beautiful. I am always ready to jump into a session to help bring your music to life.
