Amrita Kaur Dang from Baltimore, MD projects alternating particles of Indian
and American sounds through sitar, vocals, and electronics. After
many years of North Indian classical music training in Delhi, India
and Maryland, USA, she combines restrictive raga riffs, freeform
feedback loops, global samples, and other experimental techniques to
create a unique and universal sound. Her haunting voice consumes a
space with both tension and ease while conveying tones from the
hopeful to the dismal. Her recent collaborators include Dave Nuss
(No-Neck Blues Band), MV Carbon (Metaluxx), and Ilya Monosov (The
Shining Path).
Dang's artistry extends to multimedia video, installation, and
performance art. As a second-generation Sikh American, much of her
work expresses stories of religious conflict, hybrid and transnational
identities, and everyday life as an ethnically ambiguous woman in the
USA. She is currently working on her debut experimental music album,
an album of Sikh hymns, and a self-portrait video/sound/performance
installation about South Asian female identities in art and media.
