Solo Live, by Amirtha Kidambi

Solo Live

by Amirtha Kidambi

supported by

DJpeterDE Kidambi performs two compositions from her group Elder Ones: "Dance of the Subaltern" ("From Untruth) and "Dvapara-Yuga (For Eric Garner)" ("Holy Science"). I don't think this first track has been issued elsewhere (I could easily be wrong: Kidambi's many collaborative recordings are scattered across many labels). Favorite track: 1.

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 9 fans who also own “Solo Live”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat

Zenith/Nadir
by Amirtha Kidambi & Luke Stewart

supported by 8 fans who also own “Solo Live”

The electrified A-side is dominated by various effects paired with amplified, processed, and distorted vocals that resemble the sound of a brass instrument in a hall full of reverb. The B-side is strictly acoustic: the delicate sound of the instruments and the unusual timbre of Kidambi’s voice offer a surprising dialogue, both in the sacred and dignified chants and the ripping, ecstatic articulations.
