In various configurations of upright bass, amplifier feedback, effects pedals and looping, the duo explores dichotomies, with a side of pristine acoustic duets and another of visceral noise, where the sonic boundaries between the instruments dissolve and obscure. Kidambi employs a distinct vocal effects pedal, meeting Stewart in his amplifier-centered sonic universe. Combining their unique improvised vocabularies which draw from free jazz, noise, rock, Indian music and Black music, their raw chemistry is apparent in their shape-shifting improvisations.</div><div class="" style="text-align: justify;"><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="text-align: justify;"><div class="" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/amirtha-kidambi-luke-stewart" class=""><font class="" style="font-size: 14px;">MORE INFO</font></a></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;"><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
