Sandunes

Sandunes (Sanaya Ardeshir) is known for her diverse blend of electronica which combines eclectic sensibilities with progressive electronic elements. Her upbringing as a pianist and keyboard player allows her to create emotive beds of sound and her music can be described as a fusion of globally inspired ingredients.

Sandunes has partnered with Red Bull TV for their global Searching For Sound series, cataloguing the sounds of Bombay and developing a sample pack released through music software company, Ableton. Outside of the studio, Sandunes advocates accessibility and exposure around music-making. She regularly gives workshops on music production and performance, and is an Ableton Certified Trainer. She has spoken at 2016’s LOOP festival in Berlin, at Mumbai's G5A and on Point Blank's online network of production masterclasses. In 2017, she co-founded DASTA - a beat maker’s collective that focuses on DIY growth and empowerment through the arts in India.
