This Is But All I Desire This Is But All I Desire
This is a song that I composed for a corporate film about an aviation school. I decided to make it a totally unplugged sort of track with only piano and voice.

Let My Dreams Come True Let My Dreams Come True
This is the first song I composed and arranged using Reason with thehelp of my good friend and Soundclick.com artist Aditya Bedekar. The words are written by another good friend Miss Reuben.

Transonica Transonica
This is a Trance tune that I composed after I updated my composing workstation. Had great fun doing it!

Shantidoot Shantidoot
This tune was composed as a main theme for a dramatic action film. The main melody is in the Raga Bhairav, and it has a backing of drum loops and pads and textures etc.

Horror Theme Horror Theme
This is a theme I wrote to convey a sense of horror, like to be used in a horror/thriller movie format. All the sounds are from my Roland XP30 synthesizer.
My name is Susmit Limaye. I'm a freelance composer from Nagpur city, Maharashtra, India. I'm mainly into film and TV scoring and also have an interest in music and record production. I have scored a number of documentaries and short films. Recently, I scored a short film called "Kalakaar" that was acclaimed at many national and international film festivals.
I was playing keyboards since when I was quite little, and then slowly my interest turned to composition.The 2 major turning points in my life were when I first saw the film Jurassic Park which had music by the great John Williams and then I heard the soundtrack of Roja which was A.R. Rahman's first film, and I was hooked. From that moment I decided I wanted to do music. I appeared for the Solo Piano exams of the Trinity College of Music, London and passed Grade 5 in the practicals and Grade 7 in theory.I did my first short film in 2001 called "Parichay" and from then on I've been composing music for other short films most recently for "Kalakaar".
Have you performed in front of an audience?
The legendary film composer John Williams and the acclaimed genius A.R. Rahman are my foremost musical heroes. Apart from them I admire the music of other great film composers like Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, Vangelis, David Arnold, Howard Shore, Mark Isham, Danny Elfman and the like. Other artists I admire are Yanni, Kenny G, Scott Wilkie, Gregg Karukas, Vishal Bharadwaj, Enigma and Michael Jackson.
I use Cubase SX and Reason for sequencing and plug-ins like Stylus RMX for rhythm programming, plus my Roland XP30 for sounds and as a controller.
