How Indian Ocean's Nikhil Rao Created Videogame Music for 'Detective Dotson'
August 2024
|RollingStone India
Guitarist-composer worked with the mystery-adventure game (and animated series) creator Shalin Shodhan, who also plays flute

A new videogame from Ahmedabad-based Masala Games called Detective Dotson takes inspiration from the likes of Bollywood as well as cult shows like C.I.D. with music by guitarist-composer Nikhil Rao and the game’s creator (and flutist) Shalin Shodhan.
Rao, who is part of fusion legends Indian Ocean, says it’s his first time “attempting to score a game.” He adds, “I was looking for this kind of challenge but didn’t want to bite more than I could chew. Shalin of course was overseeing the entire thing so I was reassured I’d have a soft landing. I asked the talented producer Sharad Joshi to help me out and it was great to jam with friends.”
