Carnatic Progressive Fusion Band
Where Indian Classical Roots Meet Contemporary Sounds
Experience the Vibrant Fusion of Indian Classical and Modern Sounds
Project Mishram pioneers a seamless blend of traditional Indian classical melodies with modern rhythms, creating an innovative musical journey that celebrates cultural heritage while embracing contemporary sounds.
“After several listens to the six-track record, you know that unpredictability is a badge that Project MishraM wear proudly, whether they’re sprinting between hip-hop and metal on “Loco Coko,” improvising konnakol vocals over a glorious horn section on “Nivaasa” or stomping around with impunity on groove-laden tracks like “Sakura” and “Kanakana.”

Liberate
“LIBERATE” is a driving fusion of progressive metal and Indian classical motifs that channels a powerful story of unbridled longing and emotional release. Its mix of aggressive rhythms and melodic phrasing creates a cathartic soundscape that mirrors the lyrical plea for freedom.
Sera
“Sera” explores the dualities of love, intimacy, and human connection through lush, intertwining musical textures and emotive performances. The track balances intricate instrumental work with expressive vocals to evoke both yearning and harmony.
Cynic Machine
“Cynic Machine” delves into the cycle of cynicism with sharp, dynamic shifts in style, blending heavy progressive elements with traditional influences. The song’s theme scrutinizes disillusionment and inner conflict, making it both intense and thought-provoking.
Tamasat
“TamasaT” sonically portrays the philosophical contrast between the forces of darkness (tamas) and purity (satvik), weaving aggression and gentleness into a cohesive progressive fusion piece. Its interplay of heavy and serene passages reflects the duality at the heart of the concept.
Meso, or “middle” was the name we landed on when we had to reach middle ground while trying to name an album that had no common ground to begin with.
From a song inspired off a cup of filter coffee to a song based on changing seasons, to our own gut-punch reimagination of an ancient Carnatic composition, each song uses different soundscapes and core ideas, with little to no regard for coherence across the tracks.
The absence of a single thread across our songs ended up being the glue that held it together. Mishram’s target aesthetic all along is that there is none.
After several listens to the six-track record, you know that unpredictability is a badge that Project MishraM wear proudly, whether they’re sprinting between hip-hop and metal on “Loco Coko,” improvising konnakol vocals over a glorious horn section on “Nivaasa” or stomping around with impunity on groove-laden tracks like “Sakura” and “Kanakana.”

Dive into each unique track from Project Mishram’s most recent album.
Sakura
“Sakura” unfolds like a musical journey through the seasons, blending Carnatic influences with progressive metal and jazz to reflect change and growth. Its expansive arrangement captures both delicate melodies and powerful rhythmic shifts that echo the resilience of its thematic character.
Spring
“spring” is a brief, atmospheric interlude that serves as a lyrical and emotional extension of “Sakura,” offering a moment of reflection and transition. Though short in duration, it encapsulates a sense of renewal and continuity within the album’s landscape.
Nivasa
“Nivaasa” blends jazz and Carnatic fusion with vibrant horn arrangements and rich improvisational sections, creating a warm, evocative soundscape. The track’s title, meaning “home,” resonates through its soulful performances and deep musical textures.
Loco-Coco
“Loco Coko” is a wild genre-bending ride that fuses rap, EDM, metal, and Indian classical elements with a playful energy and cinematic flair. Its unpredictable twists and humorous spirit make it one of the album’s most adventurous experiences.
Kanakana
“Kanakana” takes a hardcore Carnatic composition and electrifies it with metal and intense rhythmic patterns, highlighted by guttural vocals from Kmac2021. The fusion of traditional motifs with aggressive modern sound gives it a fierce and captivating edge.
Mangalam
“Mangalam” closes the album on a serene note, reinterpreting the traditional Carnatic concert finale with added acoustic elements and lush harmonies. Its calming presence offers a thoughtful and harmonious conclusion to the eclectic journey of Meso.

“This is so much talent at a such young age. India has so much talent it’s just that you need to know what to do with it. They are not doing it for the sake of doing it. They know it! They have used it well. They have arranged it well. People just jam and that’s not arrangement. The arrangement is the key to any band and its nice to see good talent”
