Original Music Composition for Bharatanatyam and Dance Productions

Creating music for classical dance is not just about having a melody; it is about knowing the language of movement. My approach to a full Margam production starts with understanding your specific choreography style. I handle the Raga and Tala structures, composing the rhythmic cycles that define the performance.

I bring in local session artists—mridangam, flute, and violin players—to build an authentic live ensemble. We don't just rely on software; we record these sessions in my Bengaluru studio to capture the raw energy of live instruments. I also handle the final sound engineering, ensuring the audio is balanced for large stage systems, whether you are performing in a theatre or an outdoor venue.

I have collaborated with artists like Rukmini Vijayakumar to create 80 minutes of performance material in just four days, so I am comfortable working with tight deadlines. If you are preparing for an Arangetram or a new stage production, I am here to help build a score that feels like it belongs to your performance. We start by discussing your concept, then move to rhythmic composition, vocal tracking, and finally, the full arrangement.
