About Sridhar

Heya!

I’m Sridhar, and I’m from Chennai, India. I once moved to Singapore but then I moved again, and now live in Berlin.

I play guitar, write songs and produce music. During the day, I work for a cool company called SoundCloud. If you’d like to read about me in third person (for whatever reason), continue reading below ;)

 

Sentimentality and a sacred thread of reason combine Sridhar’s virtuoso mastery of technique and his passion-filled exposition of musical landscapes. Without so much as a breath for a pause and thought for the coming moment, Sridhar unleashes from complex emotions of hope, romance, beauty and fear, onto the invisible contours of symphonic artistry traversed in liaison with the strings, frets and tuners of his instrument: the guitar; ultimately creating a singular yet multifaceted language of his own.

Sridharan Ravichandran is a Berlin based guitarist, composer, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Sridhar launched his debut solo album in the summer of 2009. Titled Transcend, the 9-track rock instrumental debuted at #35 on CDbaby.com’s charts and subsequently went on to recieve critical acclaim from across the globe. His sophomore record Afterward, and the follow up to Transcend, was launched in the summer of 2010 and serves as a tribute to the multitude of influences in Sridhar’s musical journey, inspired by sounds from heavy metal to electronically synthesized soundscapes. Sridhar is currently working on his third record ‘Miles’. Pictures taken during the production of the album and from the road can be seen on this Tumblr blog http://sridharsmusic.tumblr.com
