Suresh Moorthy writes orchestral music that treats Indian and Western classical traditions as equals, not opposites. Inspired by Vangelis and Kitaro, his sound sits in the New Age tradition. It's symphonic and electronic at once, built from melody outward rather than from chords, following the Indian approach to composition.
While A Daylight Promise: A Symphonic Suite arrives in January 2027, its closing movement Earth in Heaven's Embrace has already won the One Earth Music Award.
