Experience British Bengali artist, composer, producer, sitarist, and cult figure BISHI live in concert to celebrate the release of her fourth studio album MAYA: The Birth of a Superhero – Original Score, featuring music from the acclaimed immersive film of the same name.
Released on her own label, Gryphon Records this Spring, the project is a wildly imaginative, 30-minute virtual reality immersive animated film. It forms part of award-winning activist and transmedia artist Poulomi Basu’s law-changing multimedia project, Blood Speaks which explores menstrual exile and violence against women in South Asia.
Co-directed by award winning director CJ Clarke, the story follows a South Asian girl navigating adolescence, the awakening of her sexuality and the discovery of her inner strength. Blending Hindustani and Western classical traditions with electronic experimentation, the score showcases BISHI’s four-octave vocal range, electric sitar, avant-garde textures and immersive cinematic, electronic soundscapes.
Supported by Arts Council England, the tour will also include community-led workshops in each city exploring creativity, identity and storytelling.
