Arushi Jain
Jain is a composer, vocalist, modular synthesist, engineer, whose 2024 album Delight, which was named one of the best albums of the week and month by Pitchfork, Fader, Guardian, was a document of her efforts to cultivate joy. Her 2021 album, Under The Lilac Sky, was hailed as an Experimental Album of the Year by Pitchfork and a Global Album of the Month in the Guardian. It took an evocative approach to the act of listening: how time of day influences the way a listener processes music. Her stunning new live set at Corsica will traverse familiar Arushi Jain territory while extending the music in an expansive rhythmic step forward.
A sense of timelessness, of creating and existing outside of rigid external definition, is an extremely useful framework for Jain, splitting her time between New Delhi and New York City, pulling inspiration from both cities, as well as a formative decade in the Bay Area. Her work draws as much from Indian classical musicians like Ustad Z.M. Dagar, Sharan Rani, Shiv Kumar Sharma and innovators such as Sheila Chandra, Terry Riley, Charanjit Singh as it does from artists like squarepusher, Kangding Ray, Donato Dozzy, Aphex Twin, HTRK, Cocteau Twins.
