Two years on from releasing her 2021 four-track EP Nowhere to Stand, Mumbaibred producer Sanaya Ardeshir aka Sandunes is now back with a splendid new 13-track album entitled The Ground Beneath Her Feet, out via British label Tru Thoughts. Ahead of performances at Rajasthan’s Magnetic Fields Festival and Mumbai’s NMACC later this month, we caught up with Ardeshir to discuss the new record, how it came together, what she’s got planned going forward and more. Read below.
It’s been two years since we last spoke to you, what’s been going on in your career since then?
That’s right! Working backwards – The Ground Beneath Her Feet has been in progress for the last couple of years. Earlier this year, Ears to the Ground – my project with [bassist] Krishna Jhaveri around changing soundscapes as a result of climate change had its first performance in quadraphonic sound with audio-reactive visuals, featuring a lot of recordings from the Western Ghats, and experimental feedback and synthesis.
