Anushka Chkheidze, residency #7, autumn 2024
Anushka Chkheidze, from Tbilisi, Georgia, composes electronic music and creates an immersive world of ambient and IDM (intelligent dance music), blending serene synths with intricate rhythms.
Inspired by traditional Georgian choirs, during her GRASpunt residency, Anushka will collaborate with three vocalists from the ensemble Slavuj and a percussionist from the Asko|Schönberg ensemble to create a new piece saturated with polyphonic experimentation and looping rhythms. The aim of the residency is to explore the intersection of electronics and acoustic sounds with Anushka. The voice, the most important human instrument, is most clearly expressed in electronic music. This ongoing work will be presented in a concert where the musicians will experiment with presenting their instruments in unusual and innovative ways.
Percussionist: Jonathan Bonny
Singers Slavuj: Marjolein Sprengers, Annet Bult, Monique Boogmans
