Caffeine Buzz starts off in the key of Bb minor before making its visit to some other distant keys. Mostly in a Bossa Nova style, this piece revisits lounge music in a less subtle manner as it embodies the jittery sensation one experiences during a buzz - the walking bass sections which are layered with lively improvisations and explosive progressions emulate this exact feeling. Complementing the fuel-driven portions of the piece is a slow section which is intended to depict a temporary calm as one would experience in a cosy coffee lounge, which is whimsically followed by yet another high octane walking bass section which leads to a dramatic recapitulation. The piece then ends with a phrase that was introduced in the beginning but in a creamier, smoother yet spicy harmonic context, all in an effort to end the buzz with a delectable aftertaste.

Caffeine Buzz

A musical painting of the universe as I perceive it. A long story told through a grand orchestration with generous use of theremin.

A Journey Across Time

Set Me Free

This is a Christmas piece I wrote for the year 2021. Written for an orchestra, this piece is set to evoke nostalgia while highlighting the joys of the holiday season.

Homeward

An Arabian Fantasy

A Boat on the Sea

Instead of making Christmas song mashups like in the previous years, I took a leap of faith by writing a Christmas-y and winter-y piece for 2020. Get a hot cup of coffee or chocolate(regardless of the season during which you are listening to this) and indulge yourself in one of my original works.

When the Clock Strikes 12 on Christmas Eve

This piece outlines the emotions in life through a fusion of styles made coherent through cautious musical decisions and judgement so as to avoid disjoints which are prone to happen in long and delicate pieces. I lost my friend to depression, and I wrote this to commemorate his life which was full of struggles, but was not left unadorned with the triumphs he had achieved while he was around. The grandeur of this piece embodies the pride I have for this wonderful human being who has made ripples in many lives, mine included, while struggling in his own battles.

The Untold Story

This piece was written while bearing my wishes for the year 2020. Enjoy.

2019

This piece was written back in 2018 as a closure to the year and an opener for 2019. Hope you enjoy it!
