Varijashree Venugopal
Meet the artist
A singer and flutist grounded in South Indian Carnatic music. Her precise melodic and rhythmic language extends into multicultural ensembles and encounters with jazz improvisation. Her voice moves fluidly through intricate rhythms, precise pitch inflections and rapid ornamentation.
Syllables can work like percussion or melodic instruments as well as carry words. A firm South Indian classical vocabulary remains open to varied ensembles. Technical complexity preserves melodic warmth, inviting listeners to hear the voice as an instrument and different musical practices sharing a breath.
Where to start listening
On Vari, follow the voice's fine detail and the responses of bass and percussion, hearing clear melody within intricate rhythmic patterns.
Vari
