Arushi Jain is a modular synthesist, singer, producer, radio host and engineer with an unorthodox vision of a centuries-old tradition – one that’s electronic and resolutely DIY. Her compositions are inspired by Hindustani classical ragas, explored in an aesthetic that is contemporary and current. 

Arushi grew up in Delhi, where she was exposed to Indian classical and other regional music from a young age. Later, Arushi spent time in California to studying Computer Science at Stanford University, where she was introduced to computer generated sounds and synthesis at the Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). In her music, ancient ragas from North India are re-imagined with the tools and technologies she learnt as a synthesist and technologist in the Bay Area. 

Her celebrated album Under the Lilac Sky was released on Leaving Records in July 2021, and was named the Guardian&#39;s Global Album of the month.  In 2023, Arushi released Delight, a 9 track album studying this elusive emotion. The introduction of cello, classical guitar, marimba, flute, and saxophone plus rich Indian classical vocals, all layered with modular synthesis, expands her sonic vocabulary.

Her work has been featured on Pitchfork, Bandcamp, Boiler Room, Ableton, Resident Advisor, FACT, Crack, DJMag and more.

Arushi is a resident of NTS Radio and Lot Radio, and is popularly known by her online moniker &#64;modularprincess. Arushi is the founder of GHUNGHRU, a radio series and record label.
