Biography

Savale earned the nickname Chandrasonic because he used to tune all of the strings on his guitar to one note and play it with a knife.[1]

He uses the alias Chandra Blunt when performing with the Atomic Spies.

Asian Dub Foundation

Savale plays guitar for the Asian Dub Foundation, which is where he has made his claim to fame as a musician.

Savale has interviewed prominent leftist intellectual, historian, political campaigner, author, and filmmaker Tariq Ali about the War on Terrorism, Pakistan, 1960s musicians and their activism, and health care in the United States.

Music of Resistance

The Music of Resistance is a six-part documentary series that tells the stories of musicians who fight repression and sing about injustices. They are unique musical personalities from some of the world's most troubled areas - what makes them different is their need to communicate their politics through music. They are all ambitious and talented but for them 'making it' is not about diamonds and sports cars - it is about radical political change. They come from Nigeria, Mozambique, the favelas of Brazil, Cape Verde, the desert of the Sahara and London.
