Music/Tech Creative: Neeta Sarl

Passionate about computer-based music, I am particularly drawn to boundary between live performance and electronic sound. With over 15 years of professional experience as a music artist, composer, sound designer, audio engineer, and software developer, I bring both technical expertise and creative vision to my work.

 

Currently I work as In-House Music Producer at UMG, delivering top quality audio content within a fast paced environment. My work here includes creating innovative, one-hour extended remixes of chart-topping hits in ambient, chill-out and DJ/dance styles; which are then fused with science-backed audio techniques to enhance brain and mood states.
