Planet Bones is the solo experimental recording project of musician, writer, multimedia artist, and radio host Diya Anantharaman.
After releasing an EP in 2018, Anantharaman later reemerged under a new solo project—Planet Bones. Anantharaman’s debut album as Planet Bones, Parasitism, was released in February of 2020.
Anantharaman’s 2023 release, Drones of the Desert, is synesthesia-powered and musically influenced by post-rock, electronic, Carnatic, Hindustani, choral, contemporary classical, shoegaze, and folk music—taking eclectic fragments from each genre and melding them into drone-rich sonic portraits, peppered with samples and anchored by ambience. 2025 marked Anantharaman's venture into film scores, among other side projects. In I'll Follow You Into the Dark (Original Score), Anantharaman explores composition in the context of film, bringing ambient house, noise, and drone together and juxtaposing them with Reilly Hutchison's horror visual storytelling.
2025's SAMSARA marks Anantharaman's growing affinity for elements of industrial music with bitcrushed drums and harsh noise, combined with Anantharaman's baroque approach to layered, ethereal vocal arrangements. SAMSARA explores the ebb and flow of natural cycles of decay and chronicles earthly rot and resurrection through motifs of vultures, deer, snakes, rebirth, and the afterlife. Read more on Last.fm.
