Aditya Prakash Ensemble: ISOLASHUN Live

Aditya Prakash is a Karnatik vocalist and composer from Los Angeles. He toured with Ravi Shankar as a teenager, has composed for choreographer Akram Khan since 2018, and led his ensemble in a 2021 NPR Tiny Desk concert. His 2023 album ISOLASHUN (New Amsterdam Records) grew out of a question he kept asking himself: could Karnatik music hold tension, distortion, fragility, and emotional messiness alongside its beauty? The music he made is raw, physical, and vulnerable. For this show, he reimagines the album with Sayee Rakshith on violin and cello, Praveen Sparsh on mridangam, and Vaibhav Batra on modular synth.
