SR Pro Audio is an independent music-technology studio founded by Shaji Rizvi. We compose and produce music, build tools and listening systems, and publish research from inside the practice of sound.
Our work moves between recorded music, software, broadcast, catalog and education. The common thread is a belief that sound deserves both emotional attention and technical rigor, whether it becomes a song, an interface, a global station map or a book.
Working principles
We listen before we build.
The standard is set at the desk.
Tools are instruments, not products.
The catalog is part of the work.
Every credit is real.
The studio and its affiliations
SR Pro Audio sits inside a small family of affiliated ventures rather than a client roster. DLM Media and DLM Zone are ventures founded and led by Shaji Rizvi, and Spinn Radio is a product he designed and built — they are never presented here as clients, and wherever the studio's work appears in them, its exact role is stated. Poppy Seed Music is the studio's own label, where its catalog thinking is practiced on ghazal, Sufi and raga-based repertoire. We believe this transparency makes the work more credible, not less: every project on this site carries a relationship label that says precisely what the studio did.
Where the studio stands
The studio works between its Melbourne training and an international practice, and treats South Asian musical traditions as living repertoire rather than heritage material. A 700-year-old Khusrau text and a browser-based mastering chain belong to the same conversation here: forms are studied, credited and produced with the same seriousness whether they arrive from a classical lineage or from a session last week. That double perspective — inside a tradition, inside the technology — is the studio's position in the field.
Bring us the part of the project that needs to be heard differently.
