samita sinha who’s creative trajectory i have been following for almost a decade is performing new work in brooklyn on thursday:

this new work explores utterance and lyrical song, sonic and semantic inter-relationships among fragments in several languages, and repetition/ variation with respect to tradition.  in addition to my naked, unaccompanied voice there will be live sampling, electronic rhythms and sounds, and a video element created by dani leventhal.

she’s a formidable artist who is refreshingly thoughtful and deeply intelligent in her approach to her music. join me. beers on me.

After intensive vocal study with Alka Deo Marulkar and Shiv Shankar Pandey in India, she developed a unique sound with her group Kaash (documented on their record, Seep), toured internationally with performance poet Sekou Sundiata’s the 51st (dream) state, and performed with jazz ensembles including Marc Cary’s FOCUS and Sunny Jain Collective. She also performs and records with ANATOMY, an electronic music project with Marc Cary.
