  This master's thesis is on incorporating elements of traditional music, specifically Raga Bhairav and Bhairavi, into contemporary music production. The thesis investigates how these elements can enhance the signature sound of modern compositions and impact the composer's artistic expression. The research questions explore the advantages and challenges of integrating traditional music elements into modern compositions and advocating cultural exchange and understanding. The thesis will use artistic development work, which combines artistic endeavors and scholarly research, as its method. The aim is to ensure the highest quality of artistic practice, meeting the same quality standards and academic achievements as other scientific activities. This study will provide insight into the potential impact of raga scales on modern compositions and contribute to the ongoing discourse on incorporating traditional music into contemporary music production.
