It's been 8 years since I bought a sitar on Amazon and started exploring my heritage! I should specify too, the sitar is an Indian instrument that goes back to 16th century North India (a proto-guitar if you will) and gained popularity across other areas of the country and world over time! My original video played with Indian arrangement ideas, so to redo it now for the GameRaga project is incredibly cathartic! I've introduced aspects of South-Indian music styles like introducing the raga (sort of like a scale) to the song first, improvisation, and then merged it with more progressive metal ideas! You can even hear riffs I've borrowed from the original cover, and mixes of tabla and other percussion throughout!
Visually, I wanted to kick off this new album with something special so I went right to Unreal Engine 5! I found a fantastic free cave and resources to create some fun B-Roll, also nodding to Yoshi Story's cave levels, but with a bit more fire and action to match the music. I know it's tough to do this every video, but I hope you all enjoy some of the extra fun and references too! SitarCraft is a challenging bridge of an album, working in both Indian classical and modern Bollywood styles with my metal sensibilities, and as far as I could see it's the first VGM project to even attempt playing with Indian music. If you enjoy it, please support it on Bandcamp and stream it - all funding goes into licensing, mastering, artwork, and guest performers and I'd love to prep SitarCraft II...pun incoming?
