Bhimpalasi is the 1st single from Anirudh Varma Collective's upcoming 2nd Studio Album, ‘Homecoming’. The composition is about the desire to be heard by the ones you love, to be showered upon by compassion by the ones who's love you crave, and the restlessness that follows when what you so dearly want doesn't happen.

Anthem for C3 India | Maternity and Motherhood



La marée, the tide of the ocean waters with its ebb and flow mesmerizes many. Here's my interpretation of the ups and the downs, the highs and the lows of the restless spirit.

Hope you enjoy this instrumental piece :)


La marée

The first piece I composed, back in 2003. This one has been re arranged for a piano-flute duet. A clip from my debut EP launch at India Habitat Centre.

Wailers Fiesta Feat. Ritesh Prasanna live at India Habitat Center

A debut EP, featuring 6 instrumental compositions by Anirudh Varma, a Delhi based pianist. The overall mood of the EP is of longing and nostalgia, and the title track ‘Melancholic Rhapsody’ embraces that thought. The opening track ‘Reflecting’ sets a dark mood to the EP, which moves onto Lullaby at Midnight, which is about an innocent dream. The next track is ‘Hiraeth’, which is an amalgamation of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness or homesickness for a home that no longer exists. Amour is the story of two lovers or two individuals who have feelings for each other, and the different phases that they go through. 
The title track leads to the instrumental version of a track called Moonlit Shadow, originally a vocal-piano piece, composed by Amira Gill & Anirudh Varma, adapted into an instrumental piece for the EP. 

All tracks have been composed, arranged and recorded by Anirudh Varma, except for Moonlit Shadow, which has been composed by - Amira Gill & Anirudh Varma

All tracks have been mixed and mastered by Aditya Paul
