Through procedural composition, Krishnamurthy deconstructs and reassembles the traditional structures of Carnatic music, challenging both colonial and Brahmanical interpretations. His approach opens new pathways for experiencing Carnatic music, presenting it as a dynamic and evolving art form that transcends rigid conventions. By blending electronic soundscapes with classical frameworks, Krishnamurthy invites audiences into fresh, intersectional spaces where traditional genre boundaries dissolve.

Krishnamurthy’s practice envisions Indian Classical music as a fluid and contemporary expression, moving away from its static, traditionalist representations. His debut album Tesserae was released on Café Oto’s label Takuroku, disrupting notions of linearity and exclusivity within musical traditions and positioning Carnatic music as a site of cultural and political dialogue. Through this reconfiguration, he explores its place within modern contexts, transforming it into a versatile medium that engages with current socio-cultural dynamics while honouring its roots.
