Shadow Protocol

Instrumental Carnatic-electronic action score for a relentless international spy hero. Open with low mridangam pulses, muted kanjira, tanpura drone, and tense bowed-string swells; introduce rapid konnakol-inspired rhythmic accents, veena plucks, and a tight modern electronic kick. Build through stealthy syncopation into a powerful drop with layered mridangam, chenda-like low percussion, sub bass, clipped tabla textures, aggressive synth ostinatos, and cinematic brass stabs. Use raga-inspired melodic phrasing without copying a specific composition, with sharp call-and-response between veena and synth lead. Arrange as reconnaissance intro, pursuit escalation, heroic reveal, explosive takedown climax, and controlled victory outro. Crisp punchy mix, deep controlled low end, wide percussion, dramatic risers, short delays, and polished cinematic impact. No vocals.
