I share with CNMN a personal commitment to developing and supporting new music works and experimentation in music and sound across Canada. As a national community of artists, we all benefit when we have more opportunities to connect and learn about one another’s work. A new music network is an exciting and growing concept.
Anju Singh is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, noise/sound artist and video artist based in Vancouver. Her sound and image-based works focus on texture, density, and extreme dynamics. She uses traditional instruments, extended or experimental techniques, electronic processing, non-musical materials and objects, and custom built tools and instruments to experiment and develop her works. A core aspect of her practice is to use methods of deconstruction and reanimation to repurpose and contextualize materials in new compositional environments.
Anju is an active touring artist and has presented and performed her work across Canada, in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States in a variety of spaces including at Fylkingen in Stockholm, Sweden; Send + Receive Festival in Winnipeg; Vancouver Jazz Festival; Polygon Gallery; New Forms Festival; and most recently on tour in Japan.
