From designing intricate rhythmic jathis for debut Arangetrams to conducting live orchestras for dance festivals, I compose music that is built to breathe with your choreography.

A powerful moment from the 'NagaMandala' dance festival. My music and vocals were composed to create a dramatic and intense atmosphere, using light, smoke, and sound to tell a story.

It gives me tumba khushi to see a dancer bring a concept to life with my music. This is a clip from the initial choreography stages for the 'Krishna Kalaapam' project, set to my vocals and jathi compositions.

A behind the scenes look at a rehearsal with the amazing dancer Rukmini Vijayakumar. This is where the magic begins, collaborating in the studio to align the rhythmic patterns and melody with the movement.

Rehearsal time with the team before a show at the Mukteshwara temple. Even in a hotel room, we practice the jathis and konnakol to make sure every beat is perfect for the live performance.

About Music for Dance Productions

When I compose for a dance performance, my process focuses heavily on rhythm. I start by mapping out the jathis and konnakol patterns—the heartbeat of the dance—before layering the melody. Whether we are in the studio or preparing for a live temple festival, I work directly with the dancer to ensure the musical cues land exactly when the footwork does. It is a live collaboration where the music is tailored to your energy and style, not just recorded to a metronome.
