About
Daljit Kundi (known professionally as SINIUS) is an British-Indian composer and sound designer, born in Birmingham, United Kingdom. He is best known for his experimentation with signal processing; he has captured the essences of nature to electronic voice phenomena (EVP) recordings in abandoned locations and beyond. As a child Kundi was in search of finding himself, the connection with 'music' was inspired by movies by the likes of George A. Romero, Lucio Fulci and documentaries based on paranormal haunting.
From the age of 16, Kundi was a collector of old antiques and analogue-equipment, learning how to translate the mind into the spectrum of sound, using hand-held equipment to record sounds of nature to abandoned locations of distant houses to asylums etc. He was also influenced by photography, the landscape & history within these locations were the foundation of his path to finding his truth.
