Prashanthi Sankaran

Musician · Producer · Educator · Köln

I make music at the intersection of Indian classical traditions and electronic sound. Trained in Carnatic and Hindustani vocal, piano, and Konnakol — and producing in the studio with Ableton Live. Based in Köln, rooted in Bangalore.


What I Do

Live & Bands

Three projects, three different worlds — all rooted in Indian music. Vocalist with my band Shanthi, arranger and producer for Tishram and produce my own solo sets under INdian Grooves

Music Production

Electronic production, sound design and composition — where the raga meets the synthesiser. Released two EPs Shrilogy (2024) and Distractions (2025) and one Album Shanthi (2026(

Teaching

Since 2026 I have been working as a certified music educator — accredited by the Landesmusikakademie NRW and the HfMT Köln — teaching individual lessons and workshops in Indian classical vocal, Konnakol, and music production.


Projects & Bands

Shanthi

A cross-cultural ensemble bringing together musicians from South Asian and European traditions. Live improvisations, ragas, and rhythms that travel across borders.

Tishram

Tishram explores the meeting point of Indian rhythmic cycles and contemporary electronica. The name itself is a rhythm — three-and-a-half beats, alive and restless.

Indian Grooves

My solo project. Indian melodic and rhythmic structures set to electronic production — intimate, layered, and made entirely alone in the studio.
