As a composer I produce and arrange music for films and for large scale installations, events and exhibitions. I’m passionate about being a collaborator who can bring my own deep knowledge of technology, art & design history and ways of making/thinking across disciplines and cultures to help fellow artists achieve new heights in their work.Recent collaborations include:Freelance 3D Design for Es Devlin Studio Artistic and Project Consultation for Router for The Smile's "Cutouts" Album Release Event/Installation in NYC (Beggars Group)Soundtrack Composition for Harvard Graduate School of Design's RealTimeNature Conference Soundtrack Composition for Roofscapes ParisSound Design & Soundtrack Composition for the National Pavilion of Bahrain at the Venice Biennale of ArchitectureLecturing "Soundtracking Architecture" Workshop for Syracuse University's School of ArchitectureJohn McAslan/AIA Fellowship with Manifattura Tabbachi and The Pier Luigi Nervi ProjectCheck out more of my work here: https://www.vijayrajkumar.com You can listen to some of my music on my Youtube Channel, here: https://www.youtube.com/@vijay-rajkumarPlease message me here on LinkedIn if you have an idea for a collaboration, or would like to just meet and chat (I'm currently based in NYC)

    Architects Foundation Jul 2022 - May 2023
    Washington, Dc, Us
    Author of On Nervi + Light and @NerviPics (IG), which documents the architectural legacy of the Italian engineer and builder Pier Luigi Nervi. Through an unprecedented photographic study of this highly influential, yet sadly neglected body of work, the publication highlights parallel evolutions in structural design and the performance of natural light in Nervi's buildings across Italy (many of which are abandoned today) over the course of his career (1930s-60s). The aspiration for this upcoming book and these photographs is to re-contextualize Nervi’s buildings as contemporary architecture with present and future lives, rather than as ruins to be remembered only as historic artifacts of the past. Photographs from this collection are regularly published online.
