KVNDRA [kunˈdraː], formerly known as Miles Kvndra, is an electronic musician, live act, educator, and podcast host based in Cologne, Germany.
Driven by a deep passion for live performances with a hybrid synthesizer setup, KVNDRA’s signature sound blends melancholic arpeggios with warm Moog-like leads, creating music that's both deeply introspective and irresistibly danceable. Drawing from melodic techno, deep house, and ambient influences, every performance is a unique live experience where tracks are remixed and reinterpreted in real-time. His international live shows have taken him to stages in Copenhagen, Zurich, Berlin, and beyond.
Beyond performing, KVNDRA has built a thriving educational platform with 40,000+ people across social media channels, sharing structured tutorials, live jams, and insights into electronic music production.

Had the honor to do the camera work for this amazing live set of my bro @fabianlaute for the Canadian Psy Trance label AlpaKa MuziK. Thanks for your trust my friend! And if you want to see a master class in improvised electronic live music - don't miss the video.

What a location, what a night. 💜 Last night @fabianlaute and I played a completely improvised live set at the St. Engelbert church in Mülheim an der Ruhr. It was magical from the start and the acoustics in the church were incredible. The full set is now up on Fabian’s SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/fabianlaute/ad-astra-ambient-livese…
Thanks so much to Art Obscura Ruhr for having us, to Luisa Mars for the videos and the great cacao ritual and special shout out to Wulff and the folks who came all the way from Belgium just to see us play. Only love 💜

When I was getting started making music in Ableton Live, the "Made in Ableton Live" video series was one of the places I learned from. Artists like Rachel K Collier, Bad Snacks and Underbelly inspired me and I watched those episodes again and again until I understood what they were doing (which sometimes took a long time haha).
Today, Ableton released my own "Made in Ableton Live" episode. And I don't think that has fully landed yet.
Hope you enjoy this episode and massive thanks to everyone involved in this project. 🫶🏻

On September 25th (which is my birthday) I'm playing a very special live set: In the St. Engelbert church in Mülheim an der Ruhr I'll play a 4 hour ambient set together with my good friend Fabian Laute as part of an art exhibition.
There will be pillows, blankets and cozy spaces everywhere for people to calm down while enjoying the exhibition and music. Fabian and I already started the rehearsals and I can tell you: This will be special.
The entry is free and we'll play from 8pm until midnight. Would love to see some of you folks there!
Many thanks to Art Obscura for having us. 💜

Finally undusting the wonderful Elektron Digitone.
Paired it with the Meris Mercury X for some beautiful ambient soundscapes and had a ton of fun jamming with it.
Full jam coming next week here on YouTube - it's already up on Patreon for the early birds: www.patreon.com/kvndra 🪽

Hey friends, There's no new Melodic Minute this week — I was away on vacation and had a lot of admin stuff to catch up with, so I didn't get an episode finished in time. Back to the regular schedule next week.
In the meantime, something I've been meaning to do for a long time is finally done. The first ten episodes of Melodic Minute are now collected into one album: Mind — Melodic Minute, Season One. Every track and jam from that first run, as WAV downloads.
It's up on my Patreon right now, from the first level on: www.patreon.com/kvndra
And that's how it works from here on. Every ten episodes make a Season, and every Season gets collected into an album.
Thanks for your patience — looking forward to new music making sessions next week!
Stay creative,
Milan (KVNDRA)

Hey friends, How are you all doing? Things over here are pretty busy: I've recently added the Neuzeit Instruments Drop to my setup which I'm currently testing for ambient works and absolutely love it. Just recorded a first jam with it that is coming soon on YouTube as part of the Melodic Minute series. It also was the last jam in my current studio space - because over the weekend I'm moving to a new space outside of my flat in an own, dedicated studio here in Cologne. This is a little dream come true as I'm working door to door with other creatives like my friend Schneid - a new chapter is about to start. Give me some time to settle in and I'm sure I'll soon have lots of new music & videos. 💜
Much love and stay creative,
Milan (KVNDRA)
