Thrishanku Heaven: Swaras in Suspension

I’m Ani On Keys, an independent electronic music producer and artist based in London, UK. I’ve been making music and exploring production for several years, beginning with a background in piano and keyboard before developing a deeper interest in composition, electronic music and music technology. My music is shaped by the contrast between my Indian musical background and my love for electronic and cinematic sound. I enjoy bringing together Indian melodic and rhythmic ideas with synths, sound design and modern production techniques, moving across synthwave, experimental electronic and atmospheric fusion. My recent releases include “Thrishanku Heaven: Swaras in Suspension”, which explores Indian-inspired melodies through an atmospheric electronic setting, and “Stay Ahead”, a synthwave-driven track with cinematic, video-game-inspired energy. Based in London, I’m currently developing my debut EP, *Liminal Frequencies*, while continuing to perform, produce and explore new ways of bringing Indian influences into contemporary electronic music. For me, the most exciting part of making music is finding unexpected connections between different sounds, cultures and ideas. Song Info: “Thrishanku Heaven: Swaras in Suspension” is about the feeling of being caught between two worlds — neither fully grounded nor completely free. The title takes inspiration from the story of Thrishanku in Indian mythology, who is said to have become suspended between heaven and earth. I used that idea as a metaphor for the feeling of existing between tradition and modernity, and between different musical worlds. The track was inspired by my interest in combining Indian classical musical ideas with contemporary electronic production. I wanted to take the expressive quality of Indian swaras and place them within an evolving electronic and cinematic soundscape, creating something that feels both familiar and otherworldly. “Thrishanku Heaven" was written, produced and arranged independently in my home studio in London, UK. I built the track using electronic production, synths and Indian melodic elements, shaping everything from the initial composition through to the final production myself.
