Sandunes
The Score Magazine|December 2016

Sandunes is the full time electronic music project of Sanaya Ardeshir-- a Mumbai based producer, composer and Synth player.

Sandunes

Her sound amalgamates taste in jazz, blues and echoes of tones from a period in London's underground scene. She takes electronic music and splices it with brushes of strange and beautiful convolutions - all of which results in something that smacks of South Asian undertones. She had toured extensively in a staggering number of countries, collaborated with musicians as incredible as her and come up with an album called Downstream’ on the 27th of September, 2016. The 9 tracks on it dwells on her analogue approach to phonetic craftsmanship, all created while she was spinning with the live duo Perfect timing. Downstream is utterly, tantalisingly pleasant and can be stream on Soundcloud. We recommend that you look it up, but only after reading what she told The Score Magazine about turning ideas into art.

How do you describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?

I wouldn't, to be honest, Most often I say - you'll just have to hear it! It's easier that way!

You landed in Mumbai and immediately took off, playing for some seriously respected artists. What helped the momentum?

I reckon a lot of stubborn determination. I think I really badly just wanted to play as much as possible. I did a lot of outreach, focused on creating a lot of content and for a long time my approach was to say yes to almost every opportunity that came my way.

What kind of music did you grow up to?
