AUDIO ARCHITECTURE & SCORING

Music Composition & Analog Sound Design

Where analog electronics intersect with cinematic storytelling: multi-track scoring in FL Studio, modular synthesis sound design, and crafting custom analog guitar tone circuits.

FEATURED VIDEO SCORE & PRODUCTION

Audio-Visual Composition

Muted (Autoplaying)
Audio-Visual Production · Original composition, sound design & visual production by Arsh Ahmad.
Original Master

Cinematic Scoring

Orchestrating multi-layered instrumental arrangements combining symphonic strings, brass textures, and hybrid organic instruments for visual media.

Synthesis & Sound Design

Creating custom patches with subtractive, wavetable, and granular synthesis in FL Studio—sculpting atmospheric drones, sub-basses, and pulsating textures.

Guitar & Analog Audio Circuits

Electric guitar performance combined with designing discrete analog overdrive circuits, JFET preamps, and tube amplifier dynamic modeling.

Featured Compositions & Soundscapes

Selected multi-track themes and sound design explorations.

CINEMATIC HYBRID · KEY: D MINOR · TEMPO: 88 BPM

Quantum Drift (Theme for Deep Space)

FL Studio · Multi-Track

Slow-evolving atmospheric soundscape combining bowed cellos with granular analog synth pads, sub-bass rumbles, and gentle delayed guitar swells.

WAVE:
ELECTRONIC / CYBERPUNK · KEY: F# MINOR · TEMPO: 120 BPM

Silicon Horizon (Clock Pulse Pulse)

Wavetable Synth · Distorted Bass

Fast-paced electronic rhythm driven by analog arpeggiator clock pulses, tape-saturated transient drums, and aggressive low-pass filter sweeps.

WAVE:
ELECTRIC GUITAR & AMBIENT · KEY: A MINOR · TEMPO: 72 BPM

Echoes of the Monument (Heritage Reverb)

Discrete Overdrive · Shimmer Delay

Clean and edge-of-breakup electric guitar played through a custom discrete JFET clipping stage into an expansive cathedral impulse-response reverb.

CIRCUIT DESIGN IN THE STUDIO

Audio Circuit Design & Guitar Tone Physics

Designing audio gear is closely tied to analog hardware engineering. Soft-clipping dynamics, symmetrical vs asymmetrical saturation, harmonic overtones, and passive RC tone stacks are modeled in SPICE before being prototyped on the breadboard.

Discrete JFET & Op-Amp Overdrive

Custom analog pedal designs emphasizing tube-like non-linear compression and dynamic pick sensitivity.

Low-Noise Preamps & Buffers

High input impedance (>1MΩ) discrete buffers preventing high-frequency cable roll-off and loading loss.

Impulse Response & DSP Filters

Convolving speaker cabinet acoustics with FIR filters to replicate vintage tube amplifier cabinet resonance.
