Sanaya Ardeshir (she/her) is an Indian music producer, composer, and performer. Like her naturally occurring namesake, her world of sound is in constant evolution - ranging from experimental piano music, acoustic-electronic dance music, to experiments in pop, field recordings and synthesis. Her performances reveal an appetite for integrating the worlds of studio and stage, where synthesisers and sound controllers are supported by an ensemble of live musicians against a backdrop of audio reactive visuals.

She has been described as “one of India's leading electronic music artists” (Resident Advisor), and her work has garnered praise from international and local tastemakers across various media including Rolling Stone, The Quietus, The Guardian, The Wire, and the BBC World Service.

Audiences have seen her perform in a variety of formats, playing at major festivals like Lollapalooza, Roskilde, Womad, and Magnetic Fields; and at iconic venues like the National Centre for Performing Arts, Liberty Cinema, and G5A. Notably, she has performed at London’s Barbican Centre under commission from Warp Records and Boiler Room, toured the U.S. supporting Pretty Lights, opened shows for Grammy nominated electronic producer - Bonobo, remixed music from Grammy award nominated Anoushka Shanker, hosted a radio show as part of the BBC Asian Network residency, and released a collaborative album with celebrated UK jazz drummer Richard Spaven.

In addition to releasing music, she also works as a sound designer having most recently composed music and designed sound in spatial audio for a first of it's kind 15-room exhibition titled “India in Fashion”, commissioned by the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai

The investigative nature of Sandunes' body of work is informed by her interests in community, ecology, mentorship and mindfulness. She has appeared as a guest lecturer at Ableton’s Loop Summit for Music Makers as well as at 'Today at Apple' at India's first Apple store. She is the co-founder of  Ears to the Ground - a trans media project with Krishna Jhaveri, that lives in the intersection of art and ecology, through sound-forward spaces, experiences and installations. The project seeks to reinvent itself at every juncture as a young exploration of the oldest Mountain range in India - the Western Ghats.
