Art Banymandhub is a Mauritian born, British raised musician and composer. Growing up he struggled to express himself with words, finding instrumental music to be his primary form of expression. In his composition and performance work, ambient and solo instrumental styles have been his focal points, taking inspiration from composers such as William Basinski and Steve Lawson. This field has proven highly under-represented in his region. His passions in music are in creating works that allow audiences to deduce their own meanings from a shared stimulus.
