Developing TV Using Heart's Acoustics | Pioneering Music Through Acoustic Podcast Production
==================================================================================
Siddhartha Khosla, a renowned singer, songwriter, producer, and award-winning film and television composer, is known for his unique approach to scoring for TV and film. Instead of relying heavily on synthesized sounds, Khosla emphasizes live orchestral recording, which he believes adds a human feeling and warmth to his scores.
Khosla's preference for live recording can be seen in his work on shows like Hulu's original series "Marvel's Runaways" and ABC's comedy series "The Kids Are Alright." In an episode of the podcast Score: The Podcast, it was revealed that this approach contributes significantly to the memorable melodies and layered emotional tones of the series’ music. The inclusion of live piano performances, such as those by Carol Kuswanto, illustrates the collaborative and authentic recording process Khosla favors.
This method contrasts with some contemporary composers who may rely heavily on synthesized sounds or digital orchestration. However, Khosla's focus remains on bringing a human touch to his scores. This approach helps create distinctive and emotionally compelling soundscapes that serve the narrative and tone of the projects he works on.
Khosla's work can be heard in numerous TV shows and major advertising campaigns, including the musical film "Basmati Blues" and the hit drama series "This Is Us" on NBC. His original songs have been featured on a Spotify Playlist of "This Is Us" scores.
Listeners can subscribe to the podcast featuring Khosla on Score: The Podcast through various platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Overcast, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Google Play, and Soundcloud.
