Supriya Nagarajan is the founding member and CEO of Manasamitra an UK based arts organisation is a Bombay born Indian, who studied Carnatic Vocal music from the age of five; her passionate love of music drove her to achieve great things and the desire to help people from all backgrounds to find that passion within themselves. Supriya’s work intersects with scientific enquiry at various levels and her previous music production “Shivoham” was a multi-sensory production based on her having synaesthesia and experiencing the senses differently. The production including colour illusions, smells and sounds that enhanced audience appreciation. Supriya’s latest project has been a multi-faceted exploration of the theme “Lullaby”. She has worked across the world and is currently developing a brand new work “The Sound of Tea” exploring the sensory nature of tea.

Kimmig-Studer-Zimmerlin : Further outstanding communication came from violinist Harald Kimmig, bassist Daniel Studer, cellist Alfred zimmerlin and pianist Philip zoubek, who over two long takes fleshed out a fascinating hour of free improvisation. Shifting between contemporary classical music (at times veering into darker, George Crumb-like territories) and jazz (as when Studer rubbed a drum brush across his instrument), every extended technique felt natural and inevitable and proved the humility of a quartet willing to be nothing more than the sum of its parts. Klaeng Festival Köln, Tyran Grillo, The New York City Jazz Record, 1.
