Sander Saarmets is an interdisciplinary composer, sound designer & electronic musician hailing from Estonia.

Starting from the 2000's electronic scene of Tallinn, Saarmets has been on a constant sonic expedition that has led him to places like Taiwan, Sweden, France & Germany. He has studied electronic music at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and is a proud member of the CoPeCo alumni.

During his journey, he has created solo and ensemble works, music and soundscapes for film (e.g. Everyday Mysticism & A Pile of Ghosts), contemporary dance (e.g. Ainukordus & Artefactourism), galleries (e.g. We Will Always Have Paris & Ghost Hits Wall) & runways (e.g. YUFASH SS20 at New York Fashion Week).
In 2023, his composition and the sky turned yellow (2022) was selected as one of the recommended works at the 69th International Rostrum of Composers in Hague.
His music and sound design is part of Regional_Express (a project by Ella Raidel, Petra Ardai and Marlene Rutzendorfer), an audiovisual experience featured at the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024. Echoes of Salt, a composition based on Regional_Express VR Experience, was commissioned by the Ö1 radio station.

He has released albums under the monikers of Muschraum (Ulmeplaadid, 2005) & V4R1 (Grainy Records, 2017) and in October 2025 released Bleu Précieux (Glitch Please) under his own name.

Sander Saarmets is a member of Estonian Composers Union and Estonian Electronic Music Society.
