Mridangam

South Indian classical percussion meets modern production. I offer mridangam beat packs, live rhythm sessions, and collaborative work for producers looking to add authentic Carnatic percussion to their tracks.

What I Offer

Beat Packs

Pre-recorded mridangam loops and one-shots organized by nadai (rhythmic subdivision), tala (time cycle), and tempo. Ready to drag and drop into your DAW.

• Chatusra (4), Standard 4-beat subdivision, most versatile for electronic music
• Tisra (3), Triplet feel, great for 6/8 grooves and polyrhythms
• Khanda (5), 5-beat groupings for complex, off-kilter patterns
• Misra (7), 7-beat groupings for experimental and world fusion

Live Sessions

Custom mridangam recording sessions for your track. I'll listen to your beat, develop complementary patterns, and record multi-tracked stems (bass strokes, treble strokes, finger work) so you have full mix control.

Rhythm Consultation

Want to understand Carnatic rhythm theory for your production? I can break down korvais, nadai transitions, and how traditional structures map to modern time signatures.

• Beat Pack, $100 per pack (20+ loops + one-shots, WAV 24-bit)
• Custom Recording Session, $200 per track (multi-tracked stems, 2 rounds of revision)
