Raga Pulse

Instrumental Carnatic-electronic fusion in D minor, built around expressive raga-inspired phrases with gamaka ornamentation and a clear tala cycle. Begin with tanpura-like drone and sparse keyboard outlining D minor, then introduce mridangam and kanjira patterns in an energetic adi-tala feel, layered with restrained electronic kick, sub-bass, crisp hand percussion, and warm analog pulses. Alternate melodic sections between agile sitar lead and lyrical keyboard, with distinct sitar interludes after each main theme. Develop through call-and-response, rhythmic konnakol-like accents expressed instrumentally, brief half-time breakdown, and a final expansive reprise. Detailed but uncluttered mix, sitar upfront with natural plucks and bends, keyboard wide but warm, tight low end, polished electronic drums, dynamic transitions, no vocals.
