Ravi Basrur on composing for KGF and Salaar

Continuing the chat with us, Ravi reflected on how he approached shaping sound for KGF and Salaar, which are two completely different projects. "KGF was earth — gritty, rooted, and emotional. Its sound was forged in fire and dust. Salaar, on the other hand, is metal — sharper, more mechanical, and futuristic. For Salaar, I used industrial textures, heavier percussion, and layered choirs to give it a raw, warlike energy. Both worlds are powerful, but their emotions come from very different places," he mentioned.Meanwhile, on the work front, Ravi recently launched his first-ever original score album, Titan. The first two tracks, titled Every End Is A Beginning and Roar of Tornado, are already out. Apart from that, two other songs Behind the Darkness and Gangsta will be releasing soon.
