Au début du XXIème siècle, le sitariste de renommée internationale Ravi Shankar faisait une tournée « d'adieu » en présentant son héritière, sa fille Anoushka Shankar. Depuis, l'artiste britannique d'origine indienne s'évertue avec talent à défolkloriser son instrument. Entretien et #SessionLive. La longue liste des projets accomplis par Anoushka Shankar, semble raconter l'histoire de plusieurs vies condensées en une seule : sitariste virtuose, compositrice de musiques de films, militante passionnée ; elle est également la première et plus jeune femme à se voir remettre les armes du Parlement britannique, la première musicienne indienne à présenter et jouer lors de la cérémonie des Grammy Awards. Ayant fait ses premiers pas sur la scène internationale très jeune, elle s'est rapidement imposée comme une artiste singulière, animée par une soif d'explorer au-delà des frontières des genres, passant du classique au contemporain, de l'acoustique à l'électronique le long d'une carrière qui court depuis près de vingt-cinq ans.Tout en offrant un répit du monde où elle grandit sous le regard continu du public, la maison familiale des Shankar était rarement un lieu propice au recueillement silencieux. Les musiciens allaient et venaient en permanence, que ce soit pour apprendre, répéter, improviser ou simplement s'adonner à des jeux musicaux autour de la table à manger. Anoushka s'est mise à étudier le sitar, et la musique classique indienne dès l'âge de 9 ans sous le haut patronage de son père, Pandit Ravi Shankar, maître de l'instrument et figure sans laquelle la musique du XXème siècle n'aurait pas été la même. Après des débuts professionnels à l'âge de 13 ans, elle part en tournée autour du monde aux côtés de son père avant de poursuivre son propre chemin sur scène à l'âge de 18 ans.Découvrant la musique électronique à l'adolescence, elle s'immerge alors dans la scène psychédélique trance de Goa établissant des parallèles entre les propriétés méditatives et introspectives de la musique classique indienne et le relâchement extatique sur la piste de danse. Trois albums de musique classique plus tard (chez Angel Records EMI), elle n'a que 25 ans et est déjà une habituée des salles prestigieuses telles le Carnegie Hall de New York et Le Barbican de Londres. Elle s'oriente ensuite vers des ambiances plus telluriques, des textures plus profondes avec l'album Rise (2005), animée par le désir de « créer une musique qui puisse pleinement représenter qui je suis ». Composée et réalisée par ses soins, la musique de Rise est infusée de sons électroniques créés avec Gaurav Raina de MIDIval Punditz, un « moyen de raconter mon histoire avec mon père : grandir sur trois continents avec un pied dans le passé et un autre dans le présent ».L'album suivant Breathing Underwater, réalisé en collaboration avec le multi-instrumentiste Karsh Kale, entrevoit un univers sonore où les ragas, les paysages analogues lumineux, les nappes électro contemplatives et les incursions de Ravi Shankar, Sting et de sa demi-sœur Norah Jones, s'imbriquent harmonieusement sans jamais donner l'impression de ne pas être à leur place.La signature chez Deutsche Grammophon en 2011 est le point de départ d'une décennie marquée par une créativité débridée. Le temps de quatre albums, tous nommés aux Grammy Awards, des fils disparates sont tissés ensemble pour former une riche tapisserie où les thèmes se bousculent et les palettes sonores sont constamment élargies. Les intenses méditations sur l'amour et la perte de Traces Of You, réalisé par Nitin Sawhney, sont suivies de Home et le retour doucement triomphant des pures improvisations raga.La relation historique entre la musique classique indienne et le flamenco espagnol est au cœur de Traveller, réalisé par Javier Limón, alors que l'actuelle crise internationale touchant les réfugiés est à la source du cri de ralliement de Land Of Gold. Land Of Gold cristallise parfaitement le son d'Anoushka : le sitar dé-exotisée résonne autour de l'instrumentation imprévisible en défiant les frontières des genres.En 2022, Anoushka rejoint Leiter, le label fondé par Nils Frahm et son manager Felix Grimm, et sort l'album live, Between Us qui est nommé dans la catégorie Meilleur Album de Musiques du Monde aux Grammy Awards, et Anoushka reçoit une nomination dans la catégorie Meilleure Prestation de Musiques du Monde pour sa collaboration avec Arook Aftab, sur Udhero Na extrait de l'édition Deluxe de Vulture Prince du chanteur et compositeur pakistanais.Elle collabore avec des artistes aussi divers que Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith, Joshua Bell, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Jules Buckley Anoushka considère que son plus grand défi musical reste ses premiers pas dans la composition pour le cinéma: avec la réalisation d'une bande originale de Shiraz, l'un des premiers grands films muets indiens restauré par l'Institut du Film Britannique, et sa performance lors des projections. Plus récemment, elle compose la bande originale de A Suitable Boy (« Un Garçon Convenable ») de Mira Nair.Avec sa musique, Anoushka évoque aussi bien les instants intemporels du passé que l'urgence du futur, ce qui la pousse à nourrir son travail d'un engagement sans relâche. S'exprimant ouvertement à propos de ses expériences en tant que femme et ancienne victime de maltraitance dans son enfance, elle met sa notoriété au profit de campagnes telle que le One Billion Rising. Elle est fréquemment associée aux initiatives du Haut-Commissariat des Nations unies pour les Réfugiés (UNHCR) et de Help Refugees afin de récolter des fonds et sensibiliser les gens à la crise des réfugiés. En 2020, elle est investie première présidente de la F-List: une base de données britannique créée afin de combler l'écart entre les sexes dans l'industrie musicale. Elle est également ambassadrice de The Walk, un projet artistique international de soutien aux réfugiés. Tout cela ne fait que témoigner de la singularité d'une artiste qui parvient à mener plusieurs vies en une. Titres interprétés au grand studio- In The End Live RFI (issu de l'EP Chapter II) + RFI Vidéos- Extrait Raga Anandi Kalya avec son père  Ravi Shankar voir clip- Daydreaming Feat.

In this episode of Girls On Film we give you a flavour of the third Girls On Film Awards, our annual celebration of women in film which this year took place at our new home, Regent Street Cinema in London. We launched the awards to celebrate excellence in women-focused films, and to honour women and non-binary filmmakers. Girls On Film provides an inclusive platform for the voices of diverse women and people of marginalised genders, and we have a mission: to bring about industry-wide change, and to work toward equal representation of women in the film industry: on screen, and behind the camera. As the saying goes: “if she can see it, she can be it”, and that's why shining a light on the great work women are making can make a real difference. Girls On Film host Anna Smith and co-founder Hedda Lornie Archbold hosted the awards together, and were joined by a stellar group of presenters to give out the awards, including Monica Dolan, Ronni Ancona, Sarah Gavron, Mia Bays, Col Needham, Mark Kermode, Nitin Sawhney and more. The mics didn't pick up all the sound as well as we'd hoped – but the pod conveys the great atmosphere in the room. We hope you enjoy the awards!

Christmas is coming, so of course we had to have a little look at Christmas music, but not quite in the way you would expect, unless minimalist classical composer Steve Reich is a kind of santa figure for you. Steve performs a festive version of Reich's piece Clapping Music, and is nearly driven completely mad as a result.But then the day is saved by legendary composer and music producer Nitin Sawhney. Steve heads to Nitin's studio to learn about Soleá, the genre he was allocated in episode 5, and along the way discovers a lot of commonalities between Indian classical music and flamenco, how the guitar can be used as a percussion instrument to accompany itself, and some fascinating technical insights into the sounds of flamenco. This free-flowing interview with a musical legend covers all the usual show bases in one go as we learn about the Entertaining Noises of the flamenco guitar, dig deep into Music Feary as we examine the nuts and bolts of flamenco, and of course the Genre Tombola as we look at the commonalities between musical traditions so geographically distinct.Oh, and Steve gives you a little reminder of his brand new Patreon, where you can help support the show for just $5 a month, as well as getting access to a huge treasure trove of unedited interviews and songs from the show, ticket discounts, exclusive offers and much more.Wilton's Music Hall tickets: https://www.wiltons.org.uk/whatson/854-steve-pretty-and-friends-on-the-origin-of-the-piecesNitin's website: https://www.nitinsawhney.com/Steve's website: http://www.stevepretty.comLittle playlist of music referenced in the episode: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQPkPcql9kp8MovgfBM0u0Z-BXVWzNAR_&si=HwQLzYIDcsKmY8CJPlease spread the word, rate and review the show if you enjoy it!

Since then he has scored music for theatre, dance, video games and cinema, including the BBC TV series Human Planet.

He's also DJed at world-renowned London nightclub Fabric and has worked with Paul McCartney, Nelson Mandela, Joss Stone, Annie Lennox, Sting and Mira Nair. His new album Identity will be coming out this year on October 13th. Tim Burgess is a singer, musician, and record label owner, best known as the frontman of influential English rock band the Charlatans. He's enjoyed an incredibly successful career in music, from releasing hit singles throughout the 90s to exploring the fabric of pop and rock in his books, as well as his ever-popular Tim's Twitter Listening Party events on social media.

She creates powerful, emotive scores, and moves seamlessly from working with orchestras to using her collection of custom-made instruments.

The renowned composer, songwriter and performer discusses his work, taking a stand and the transformative, universal power of music.

After a brief hiatus, The Film Scorer podcast returns with guest Nitin Sawhney! Nitin and I originally planned just on discussing his latest score, which is for the film What's Love Got to Do with It? but coincidentally timed the interview to coincide with the announcement of his next album, "Identity". As such, we start off by discussing his new album and the recently released single, "Darling Boy", which features vocals from Guy Garvey and lyrics that Garvey used to sing as a lullaby to his then-newborn son. We then dig into Nitin's fascinating hybrid score for What's Love Got to Do with It?, which mixes traditional modern romantic elements, fairy tale motifs, and Indian classical music; it's a combo I've certainly never heard. In relation to the score, Nitin discusses the relatively identical nature of Indian and Pakistani classical music, the line between culture appropriation and appreciation in music, and collaborating with Naughty Boy, and legendary Qawwali singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.   You can find out more about Nitin on his website. What's Love Got to Do with It? is in theaters in the UK, Nitin's score, as well as many of his other works, is available digitally on all major platforms and his new album "Identity" is forthcoming (though you can listen to the single, "Darling Boy", here).

The structural engineer and author Roma Agrawal tells Michael Berkeley about her passions for tall buildings, bridges, concrete and Indian classical dance. Roma Agrawal is a highly successful woman operating in what is still very much a man's world. Her job is, essentially, to make sure that the buildings, bridges, roads and tunnels we use every day don't collapse. She spent six years working out the incredibly complex structure of the spire and foundations of the Shard in London, the tallest building in western Europe. As well as engineering, Roma has another passion: she tells Michael about her lifelong love of the ancient Bharata Natyam form of Indian Classical Dance, and we hear the first piece of music she danced to as a child in Mumbai. She chooses songs by Abida Parveen, Anoushka Shankar and Nitin Sawhney as well as pieces by Tchaikovsky and by Carl Davis which drew her to Western music. Roma tells Michael about her campaign to encourage more women to become engineers, why she decided to speak out about the emotional and physical strain of IVF and how working on the Shard helped her overcome her fear of heights.

Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar tells John Wilson about the most significant cultural influences and experiences that have shaped her own artistic life. Taught in the Indian classical tradition by her father, the legendary musician Ravi Shankar, Anoushka is renowned as one of the world's greatest living sitarists. She has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards and, as a composer, has worked in a diverse array of genres, including jazz and electronica, and films scores. Anoushka talks about the huge musical influence that her father had on her. As a child, she went to his concerts not knowing he was her father until her parents began living together when she was seven. He gave her her first sitar and took her on as his pupil amongst the many others that came to their house for his teaching. She describes how seeing Akram Khan's dance production Kaash - a collaboration with composer Nitin Sawhney and artist Anish Kapoor - inspired new ways of composing. She recalls how the rape and murder of a 23 year old girl in Delhi in 2012 led to her revealing that, as a child, she had been abused by a family friend. Anoushka also explains how the TimesUp movement, campaigning for workplace equality, made her reassess the role of women within music, and inspired the 2020 album Love Letters, which was made with an all-women team of musical collaborators. Producer: Edwina Pitman

BIO She also runs Kathakaars, a creative forum for aspiring dancers providing vocational training and offering a range of performance and choreographic opportunities to create a legacy of high quality artists Sonia Sabri is UK's leading Kathak dancer, amongst the brightest and most inspirational of British born dancer-choreographers working in the twenty-first century. Creating work that spans from the presentation of classical roots of Kathak to explorations of contemporary approaches, her productions reflect an appreciation of Western and Eastern cultures. She has created a fresh, unique style of Kathak by reinventing it from within, by pushing boundaries and generating work that is original in concept and exciting and relevant to today's audiences. As a dance artist, she is acclaimed for her enchanting stage presence, grace and musicality that enthral audiences both nationally and globally. She has secured an international reputation for collaboration across dance styles and art forms including work with pioneers Sarvar Sabri, Arlene Phillips CBE, Sir Trevor Nunn, Richard Alston, Lea Anderson, Shobana Jeyasingh, Nitin Sawhney, Rose English, Jonzi D, Jatinder Verma to mention a few. As well as touring with work created in Britain across the world she has been supported and commissioned by UKTI and British Council and independent bodies to create new work and lead meaningful learning and participatory projects. One of many highlights include her work in the Emirates touring with Kathakbox; leading movement based workshops and residencies for women only groups and especially from orthodox backgrounds; residencies with children with learning difficulties, and creation of new dance and live music works with girls. Sonia is the first female artist and female led dance company to have toured the Emirates and other parts of the Middle east. Sonia's art is the seed of all her outreach work in the community for different groups including women, young people and children, mothers and daughters, young families, elderly people through to working with women of mental and health concerns many of which referred by GPs. Some examples include working with women in some of the deprived areas in the country using movement and music as a way to share their personal experiences as a way of therapy. Providing a safe environment, emotive language of art and with Sonia's sensitive and sympathetic nature (derived from her personal experiences), women unveiled their inner most thoughts, challenges, concerns and broken dreams. Through carefully considered and bespoke arts programmes, residencies and workshops, Sonia has enabled many women to transform their lives. Some examples include - many have gone into education; have built confidence to communicate with their families about their inner most feelings / concerns which otherwise they feared to voice; change their lifestyle towards positive mental and physical health; build friendship circles to empower other women. Some who had lifelong dream to dance, sing, or play an instrument were provided a platform to do so and have now gone on to seek vocational training to develop their talent with some now performing in community and professional settings. Sonia has also trained library workers in community libraries and in health centres how to use the toolkit of Kathak dance and offer emotional and physical wellbeing, build child and parent relationships, and approaches to communicate with women of culturally sensitive backgrounds who often felt detached from main stream society. Where ever Sonia has delivered and continues to deliver these programmes, there is a legacy of empowered women who are now helping other underrepresented women.  Sonia works with women and girls of all backgrounds and experiences and many are from the muslim community. She is considered a role model nationally and not exclusively for the South Asian community given the ground-breaking work she has developed through her artistic practice. There are very few women of her faith and cultural heritage and a proud British Indian leading the way for the future generation. In addition, Sonia is a teacher of Kathak and regularly undertakes various workshops, lecture- demonstrations and residencies in both national and international venues. She is accredited by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD). Recently she was commissioned by BBC Young Dancer 2017 as one of the mentors and choreographers for the grand finals.
