Biography
Swara Sutra is a one-man band conceptualized by Sriram, currently a engineering student in India. The band is very experimental and draws influences from various forms of music ranging from Carnatic Classical, jazz and alternative, all the way to extreme metal.
It all started on a hot summer afternoon in May 2009 during an agonizing power cut and playing guitar riffs on a Veena to kill boredom. Thanks to the duration of the power-cut, the random stuff soon turned into a 3 minute untitled song that was put up on SoundClick the following evening. It received a great response and a flood of comments asking for more music and that was when Swara Sutra was born online. It has come a long way since then, quickly making a good connection with musicians and music lovers online.
