Violinist and theatre artist Anjna Swaminathan's debut ensemble project, WOVEN, brings together original music and poetry to meditate on ideas of death, memory and loss in Hindu vedantic philosophy. The ensemble features stellar string instrumentalists of various musical idioms ranging from jazz and creative music to klezmer, whose sounds are woven into a hybrid soundscape. Introspective, emotive and expansive, the score deconstructs the microtonal, rhythmic and improvisational vocabulary of Indian classical music and acts as a response to the cultural trauma, disillusionment, and wonder expressed in the poetry.
