Cinematic Music Videos & Soundtracks
I translate visual stories into immersive soundscapes, ranging from epic 40-piece orchestral scores to intimate, atmosphere-heavy music videos. Let's build your next project together.
A glimpse behind the scenes of 'The Burning Ghat' music video, shot in the sacred city of Varanasi. This project was a massive undertaking, blending cinematic visuals with a deeply spiritual sound.
The official artwork for my single 'The Burning Ghat'. This piece is a seven-minute musical ode to the eternal fire at Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi, a composition that bridges the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds.
This is the official music video for 'Kautilya', a grand composition I produced in collaboration with Spotify. Featuring a 40-piece ensemble, it channels the heroic sentiment (Veer Rasa) and showcases my ability to create large-scale, futuristic Indian classical music.

The official music video for my track 'Shankara'. This composition is a tribute to Lord Shiva and my guru, Pt. Ravi Shankar, channeling the emotion of love and devotion (Shringhar Rasa) through its melody.

The visualizer for 'Bijli', a track from my album Navaras. For this piece, I used the Rik-E-Sitar, an electronic sitar, to explore themes of chaos and anxiety through Raga Kirwani, blending it with heavy 808s and haunting vocals.
The official video for my sitar lo-fi track, 'text me when you reach'. This shows my ability to create music for more intimate, modern narratives, perfect for brands or series looking for a contemporary, chill vibe.
About Cinematic Music Videos & Soundtracks
When we tackle a cinematic project, I start by identifying the exact emotion, or Raga, that will ground your visual narrative. Whether it's the 'Veer Rasa' intensity of a 40-piece ensemble for a brand film or a haunting solo for a documentary, I handle the composition, recording, and mastering end-to-end. You aren't getting stock loops. You are getting a custom soundscape designed to move your audience and elevate the story you are telling.
My approach to cinematic composition is rooted in the legacy of the Rikhi Ram family, but my delivery is entirely modern. I don't just write background music. I craft the emotional spine of your film or campaign.
My Process
- Conceptualization: We start by defining the Raga and the emotional core of your project. We then choose the instrumentation, whether that requires the raw, tactile sting of an acoustic sitar or the massive, layered weight of a full orchestral ensemble.
- Production: I run a one-stop shop. From initial composition to tracking, mixing, and final mastering to broadcast LUFS standards, I manage the technical side so you can focus on the vision. We record in professional acoustic environments, utilizing industry-standard gear like Neumann U87s to ensure every note has clarity and depth.
- Collaboration: I have led projects as complex as the 'Kautilya' collaboration with Spotify, which featured a 40-piece ensemble. I am equally comfortable producing intimate, lo-fi soundscapes for smaller digital narratives.
Why This Matters
Most music production lacks a soul. Because I work from the perspective of a lineage musician, I bring a specific authenticity to the sitar and traditional instruments that synths cannot replicate. If you want a soundtrack that feels ancient yet fits perfectly into a modern, high-production visual, that is exactly where my work lives. My goal is to create music that hits, whether you need 30 seconds for a social media ad or a full score for a feature film.
