Professional Sitar Studio Recording and Live Performances
Whether you need a meditative alap for a film score or a high-energy fusion track, I bring the sitar's full range to your project with a deep respect for both tradition and modern sound.
This is a glimpse into a remote sitar collaboration from my home studio. I am fully equipped with professional microphones and gear to record high-quality sitar tracks for your project, no matter where you are located.
I enjoy reinterpreting popular Bollywood songs to show the sitar's versatility. Here is an instrumental cover of "Tum Hi Ho," a perfect example of how I can create a soulful sitar track for a film score or a modern song.

Here I am practicing some fast and intricate taankari in Raag Desh. This level of technical skill is something I bring to every recording, ensuring a polished and authentic Hindustani classical sound for your track.

Me and my sitar, lost in the music. For me, playing is a form of meditation, and I strive to pour that focus and soulfulness into every studio session.

About Featured
When you book a studio session, I focus on capturing a clean, dry signal. This gives your mixing engineer the high-fidelity WAV stems needed to blend the sitar perfectly into your electronic, orchestral, or pop mix without clashing with other instruments.
Whether you are scoring a film, producing a fusion track, or looking for that authentic Hindustani classical touch, the sitar offers a texture that is difficult to replicate. My foundation is rooted in years of riyaaz under my guru, Sri Vijay B Gonahalu, and my dada guru, Pandit Arvind Parikh ji. This training allows me to pivot quickly between styles—from a slow, meditative alap to the intricate, fast-paced taankari required for high-energy sequences.
Studio Flexibility
I understand that every project has different logistical needs.
- Remote Collaboration: If you are not in Bengaluru, I provide remote recording services from my home studio. I deliver 24-bit/48kHz WAV stems recorded without reverb, ensuring you have total control during the mixing phase.
- On-Site Sessions: For Bengaluru-based producers, I am available for in-studio bookings. I bring my concert-grade sitar and work alongside your team, allowing for live direction and immediate creative adjustments.
Genre & Application
I do not just stick to classical pieces. My work includes:
- Film & OST: Creating background scores that demand emotional depth or rhythmic intensity.
- Fusion & Covers: I enjoy blending sitar melodies with guitar, tabla, or synth-based tracks to create something fresh.
- Classical Baithaks: Maintaining the sanctity of raga-based performances for intimate live events.
If you have a track that feels like it’s missing a soul, let’s talk about how we can integrate the sitar. I listen first, then play—ensuring the instrument elevates your vision rather than overshadowing it.
