About

Hi, I’m Nirad Menon, a western classically trained musician and an experienced music composer and sound designer. With over 10 years of performing on piano and saxophone, I’ve also contributed to the creation of immersive soundscapes for live theatre and media projects. I love working across various western classical instruments and crafting captivating audial experiences.

I’ve had the pleasure of working on multiple theatre productions and managing concert stages, which has sharpened my abilities in sound design, composition, and concert coordination. When I’m not composing or designing sound, I enjoy teaching music to diverse learners and exploring new ways to express creativity through sound and music.
