Sherpa Found
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
2:52·130 bpm·Cm·1 versions
World, EthnicAnticipation, Atmospheric, Calm

Throat singing and Tuvan vocal texture sit over synth pulse, bells and tung buk percussion, with cicada field texture and risers pushing a 130bpm C minor bed forward. Piano fragments keep it pensive rather than triumphant, suiting high-altitude expedition footage or an investigative sequence circling a remote location.

Break The Fall
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:22·100 bpm·Am·1 versions
World, EthnicAnticipation, Atmospheric, Calm

The slowest-moving of the mid-tempo cues at 100bpm in A minor, built on handpan, gongs, bells and jaw harp with shakers and sustained strings and pads underneath. The title's sense of catching yourself fits a reflective passage after a setback — recovery montage, meditation segment or a documentary chapter break.

Somethings Missing
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
2:34·130 bpm·Fm·1 versions
World, EthnicAnticipation, Atmospheric, Calm

Shortest cue on the album, a tight 2:33 at 130bpm in F minor where flute floats over synth and bass with cymbals and a riser building unease. The minor key and unsettled title make it the most suspense-leaning piece here, good for a search, an absence, or a lead that goes cold.

Common Ground
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:01·80 bpm·B flat
World, EthnicAtmospheric, Calm, Cinematic

Warm and settled at 80bpm in B flat, with flute and ethnic strings over pads, hand chimes, bells and distant horns, and jaw harp adding rustic colour. The major key and slow pulse make it the calmest, most welcoming cue on the record — village life, arrival, shared understanding.

Destiny Of Choice
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:09·140 bpm·D·1 versions
World, EthnicAnticipation, Atmospheric, Calm

Fastest tempo on the album at 140bpm and in D major, driven by bass and strings against tongue drum, water handpan and waterphone for a liquid, shimmering surface. Anticipatory rather than tense, it fits a decision point in a journey narrative or a purposeful trek sequence.

Heavy Subject
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
2:51·130 bpm·F·1 versions
World, EthnicAtmospheric, Calm, Cinematic

At 130bpm in F major, this leans on delicate melodic colour — music box, ocarina, chimes and bells over clay and gong hits, with bass, textures and risers giving it lift. Despite the weighty title the tonality stays cinematic and open, suiting a reflective interview bed or a sequence about loss handled gently.

Backwater Enlightenment
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:34·80 bpm·Em·1 versions
World, EthnicAnticipation, Atmospheric, Calm

Longest of the slow cues at 3:33, 80bpm in E minor, with flute and guitar over light percussion, chimes, synth and jaw harp. The minor key adds a shade of tension to the meditative pace — river and backwater footage, a quiet spiritual passage, or a documentary scene that hints at something withheld.

Chronic Artificiality
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:39·120 bpm·D·2 versions
World, EthnicAtmospheric, Calm, Cinematic

The most overtly South Asian cue here: sitar over handpan, hand chimes, horn, percussion and layered pads with ghostly synth textures, at 120bpm in D major. Its 3:39 length gives room for a long-form scene about tradition meeting modernity or manufactured spectacle.

Strange Kindness
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:02·130 bpm·Cm·1 versions
World, EthnicAtmospheric, Calm, Cinematic

Percussion-forward at 130bpm in C minor, combining stone percussion and layered hand drums with muted and open xylophone figures, bells and synth. The pitched-percussion pattern gives it more rhythmic identity than its neighbours, useful under time-lapse, craft process footage or an unexpected human encounter.

Place Of Refuge
STYE1269 · Sherpa · Rishhad Kothawala
3:37·115 bpm·D·2 versions
World, EthnicAtmospheric, Calm, Cinematic

115bpm in D major with tongue drum and layered percussion, nutshell shakers, bass, synth and atmospheric FX across a spacious 3:37. Sanctuary-toned and unhurried, it works as a long background bed for narration or as the resolving end-point of a journey sequence.
