Composer’s Notes

John Piscitello and Aalok Mehta created the breathtaking soundtrack for DesiQuest, an actual play Dungeons & Dragons show based on the mythology of the Indian subcontinent.

The score blends Indian and Western genres with orchestra, electronica, and virtuoso soloists on sitar, santoor, bansuri flute, Carnatic violin, and world percussion.

Featuring thunderous battle cues, meditative drone soundscapes, Desi acoustic jams, and dreamlike realms inspired by classical Indian Ragas, John & Aalok's score offers a compelling cinematic World music experience.
