The second track on SYNESTHETIC is called "Breathing Blue."
Breathing Blue is a mellow pop number drenched in moody electric guitars and features a sparkly piano-and-synth chorus. You'll also hear deep cello lines and plenty of crisp drum beats. Enjoy a teaser trailer of the track here:
Happy to be featured in the awesome CHICSHA magazine! A great initiative by a fellow Hoosier.

It is with much excitement that I welcome you all to the world of SYNESTHETIC - my soon to be released debut album on the EverSound Music label!
Produced by John Adorney and featuring sounds from over 50 different musical instruments (both electronic and acoustic), SYNESTHETIC is a brand-new collection of 10 original contemporary instrumental pieces. The music has taken over 3 years to compose and was recorded and mixed at John's private studios in California this summer.
Over the next several weeks, I will be posting pictures, sound clips, and behind-the-scenes tidbits about the album. Until then, take a look at and please share your comments about the cover artwork… and stay tuned for more exciting updates!
SYNESTHETIC. Coming this fall...

We are excited to announce a new album from Nitish!
Experience was a live concert conceptualized and directed by Nitish in August 2012. The event was hosted by the Foundry United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. All proceeds from the concert went to Cy-Hope, a local charity that works to improve life for economically and spiritually at-risk children.
The concert featured music from Nitish's previous albums. Nitish also premiered new works that have not been released on studio albums yet. The production featured over 35 instrumentalists, a technical support crew, full light design, and graphic projections. The live album is expected to be available for digital download next week.
A special thank you goes to Mr. Doug Lacey, who mixed and mastered the audio recordings.
Nitish conducted the pilot run of a new and innovative music workshop called "Musical Gems" this past weekend. The objective was to increase awareness about the new material that is emerging from the talents in India's music industry today. It was a successful first trial and Nitish is now busy working on conceptualizing more workshops for the near future!
There is a special two-hour season finale coming to Slightly Off-Tune this Sunday.
"Days of Summer" will be presented by Spotify and On Sacred Ground.
Nitish was named a Spotify Campus Influencer today! Get the latest scoop on Instagram.
