Hand of Thought is the first full-length release under composer Sanaya Ardeshir’s own name — introducing a parallel practice that exists alongside her work as electronic producer Sandunes.

The cinematic 8 track album blends meditative piano, horns, drums, tabla and electronic textures.

Released via Karigar Records — a new label co-founded by Krishna Jhaveri and Sanaya Ardeshir, the album examines matrilineality - the tracing of kinship through the female bloodline, and its manifestations in meditation, intuition, and the trans-generational currency of music through her primary instrument - the piano.
