This music is dedicated to the openings that allow light to flow into dark spaces, shifting the depth of our perception. Apertures invite us to embrace uncertainty and the unknown, moving us toward new ways of being, knowing, and channeling together.
APERTURES
As I developed this music, I oriented toward voice and movement as new modes of expression, expanding my musicality and perspective. I’ve shared the depth of these explorations in my PhD dissertation: Time, Virtuosity, and Ethics Otherwise: Queer Resonances for Diasporic Play (2021). The album documents a live studio performance recorded on January 12, 2021, permeated by the magic of sharing music amidst great stillness and uncertainty. This music has offered deep connection and catharsis for me, and I hope that it resonates with you.
RAJAS
A project I started a decade ago, this ensemble has carried me through profound shifts in perspective and moments of uncertainty. Since its inception, RAJAS has featured musicians whose endless curiosity and openness have taught me a great deal. I am immensely grateful to Miles, Stephan, and Ganavya, who have guided me with their studied sound and wisdom over many years. In fact, this album was made possible by Ganavya, who consistently believed in and advocated for this music to be shared with the world. I also extend my deep gratitude to Utsav, Anna, and Adam, who joined the ensemble more recently, finding their way seamlessly into this music and expanding its horizons. The Sanskrit word ‘rajas’ refers to the human drive for creativity, action, and transformation— it is ultimately a collective effort to keep moving and dreaming forward.
