Hi, I’m Buvan Eswaran—a composer, music producer, and artist blending Carnatic roots with contemporary production. The turning point came at age 14 during a quiet conversation with my father about A.R. Rahman, which sparked my path to becoming a composer. Grounded in Carnatic music and mentored by Shabir Sulthan, I carve a path that blends tradition with the energy of modern production; I aim for a sound that is rooted yet refreshingly new. I’m pursuing a Degree in Music (Honors) at La Salle College of the Arts and was awarded the NAC scholarship in 2025 for contributions to Singapore’s music landscape. My work today spans independent tracks, film scores, and cross-cultural projects, with each piece reflecting my vision to bridge tradition and innovation. In every project, my priority is clear: for businesses, to create music that works; for artists, to create music that lasts. For media and collaboration inquiries, I welcome conversations about projects that bridge tradition and modern sound.…

    uniE603 Arambh - Japanese - Indian Cinematic Sountrack
    Āraṁbh: Dream Rhythms reimagines The Tale of the Princess Kaguya — a classic Japanese folktale about a princess discovered in a glowing bamboo stalk, admired for her beauty and pursued by many suitors — through a sonic landscape shaped by Japanese and South Indian musical traditions, electronic textures, and orchestral arrangments The score follows the emotional arc of Princess Kaguya’s journey, from moonlit wonder and earthbound desire to spiritual departure, through shimmering motifs, shifting ragas, and percussive bursts of resistance. A Sonic Palette of Two Traditions At the heart of Āraṁbh is Buvan’s seamless fusion of two distinct musical forms. The 陽旋法 (In-senpō) scale introduces expressive, asymmetrical intervals reminiscent of the Western melodic minor, while Raag Pantuvarali evokes urgency and yearning. Raag Kharaharapriya adds warmth and introspection. These melodic frameworks form the emotional grammar of the work—guiding themes of distance, desire, and return. Instrumentation: Ancient Textures Meet Contemporary Production…

Throughout the score, the nuanced use of instrumentation and rhythmic structures reveals an emotionally rich narrative through sound.…
