#5042 From Soundcheck: Jlin, Red Baraat
Hear exclusive live performances from the Soundcheck Podcast series, from Jlin and Punjabi dance band Red Baraat.
The artist, producer, and educator Jlin, born Jerrilynn Patton, first came out of the electronic dance music scene – specifically, the Chicago style of house music known as footwork. But she’s also become a sought-after composer, and one of her works was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her collaborators include Icelandic pop star Bjork, composer Philip Glass, experimental electronic musician Holly Herndon, dance companies, and lots more. Jlin’s unsettled rhythms, unexpected samples, and surprising sonic effects are layered, and played live (!) when she performs. Jlin joins us to play a set of pieces that draw on her typically bewildering array of sound sources, including a piece in six, “Iris”.
Then, hear the drummer-led Brooklyn band Red Baraat whose music grows out of the hard-partying tradition of Punjabi wedding bands. Drummer and bandleader Sunny Jain, infused the band with the sounds of his upbringing: music of the South Asian diaspora (Bollywood soundtracks, Jain Bhajans (devotional songs), and Bhangra ) injected with go-go, jazz, and rock. Red Baraat brings the brass instruments and drums, rock guitar, jazzy improvisations, and the call-and-response vocals to celebrate their 15 year anniversary and the release of their new album, "Bhangra Rangeela" to the studio.
