Linda Shumas is a Pianist/Composer/Harpsichordist and Synth player. She interprets the Baroque/Classical/Contemporay repetoire but when it comes to her original work she is an improviser who likes to call her works for the piano, harpsichord or synthesizer, structured improvisations. Sometimes she'll take an original theme and just improvise the hell out of it. She loves sound textures and the layering of sound and emulates the synthesizer through her phenominal technique. Fingers of steel, she plays with great power and sensitivity and each note means something, no note is taken for granted. None of her music is written out with the acception of a couple of earlier works for competition, one of which she won the Jean Coulthardt Scholarship for Original Composition. She doesnt write the keyboard music out in fear that it will become too mechanical and she will think of it in terms of notes rather than sound. Her Violinist Duo partner Ezra Azmon says this about her music "she pushes the keys of the heart".She is part of a duo which is made up of her on Keyboards and composition and DJ/Producer dj Chaba.Khan behind the controls.
