About Behind the Scenes & Studio Sessions
People often ask how I get that ethereal tone in my fusion sets. It is not just the instrument; it is the workflow. Whether I am tracking a lofi Bollywood cover or prepping for a mental health sound bath, I use a specific pedal chain—Strymon and Eventide units—to process my custom-crafted Rikhi Ram Sitar. It lets me take a centuries-old raga and make it hit right for a modern, high-energy, or deeply meditative space.
This is where the magic happens. My studio is my laboratory, a space where tradition meets technology. I grew up in a family of master sitar makers, and that foundation is the reason behind every note I play. But the how? That is where I get experimental. I take the raw, organic resonance of a traditional sitar and push it through digital processing to see how far I can stretch a raga without losing its soul.
If you are looking for a soundtrack for your launch, gala, or wellness session, these sessions are the blueprint. I am not just playing covers; I am re-imagining them. I blend ancient Indian scales with lofi beats, psychedelic rock textures, and atmospheric electronic elements to give your event a contemporary edge.
I have spent countless hours in these pews and home studios finding the right frequency for my 'Sitar for Mental Health' experiences. Whether it is a 90-minute immersive therapy session or a high-octane concert for a corporate gala, I apply the same level of detail I do here. If you have seen the 'Red Zitar' or heard my 'Kautilya' project, you know I do not believe in boundaries, only in creating a vibe that moves you. Let us make something iconic together.
