Mumbai, July 23 (NationPress) Music composer Advait Nemlekar, who has crafted the background score for the streaming series ‘Special Ops’ season 2, has garnered widespread acclaim for his work on the show. In an era where music production leans heavily towards electronic sounds, the composer opted for a distinctive approach. Advait shared that the score incorporates a combination of live instruments and electronic elements.
With various narrative threads interwoven throughout the series, Advait’s compelling and immersive score serves as an anchor amidst the chaos, significantly enhancing the tension and emotional weight of the espionage drama created by Neeraj Pandey. His music elevates the storytelling experience to extraordinary heights. The compositions are rich, textured, and cinematic, whether depicting the suspenseful atmosphere of a hotel in Budapest or the urgency of an ambush in Delhi; the background score sharpens every frame.
Reflecting on his experience with ‘Special Ops 2’, Advait Nemlekar stated to IANS, “The music for ‘Special Ops 1’ was designed to amplify the tension, drama, and emotional depth of the narrative. Season 1 featured a lot of fast-paced, intense energy, prompting us to blend orchestral and electronic elements to complement that tone. For Season 2, while the action remained high-octane, the storyline also delved into deeper emotional layers, prompting an evolution in the music. We recorded the score acoustically with a full string section, bringing warmth and depth while maintaining intimacy.”
He further expressed that one of the most memorable moments was recording the string sessions live in the studio. Witnessing the music come alive with real musicians was an unforgettable experience.
“I’m thrilled by the response. It’s been remarkable to see viewers connect so profoundly with the background score and appreciate its role in bringing the show to life. When peers, including Kay Kay Menon, acknowledge your work, it carries immense weight. It’s validation from one of the best in the industry,” he added.
Kay Kay Menon, who reprises his role as Himmat Singh, recently expressed his admiration by sharing a video on his Instagram, praising the show’s soundtrack.
