Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Girilal Baars "Girilal Baars - born in Moscow and of Dutch and Indian origin - is a composer and performer. Voice is his main passion and instrument and he performs solo, with the Girilal Baars Trio, and with the vocal quartet Äijä. Girilal interprets and composes around old songs and traditions from many different regions, including Russia, Finland and Tuva. Tuvan throat-singing has been a part of his repertoire ever since his first visit there in Starting with his purchase of a theremin in 1998, Girilal has increasingly worked with electronic experimental music. In 2008 he wrote and performed Litanies in Zero Kelvin for voice, theremin and electronics. Combining old folk songs with live electronics and the sensibilities of contemporary experimental music was a natural development, having in a sense pursued parallel careers in acoustic ethnic music and experimental electronics for the better part of a decade. Litanies in Zero Kelvin was selected for the Nordic Music Days in Oslo in 2009 and has been downloaded more than 20,000 times since its electronic release on Clinical Archives in 2010. Aside from regular performances, in 2011 Girilal completed a small solo-tour in Russia, wrote the music and toured with the dance performance Kuu Nukkuu, wrote and recorded the music for the film After Life and wrote and performed the commissioned work Lykanthropos, based on the old Swedish Ballad Varulven. Other commissioned works include Kallocain - an Opera for Two Voices, A Clash of Cymbals, Gracing Space and Light Life. In 2009, the male vocal quartet Äijä, of which Girilal is a founding member, released the CD Jet- Black. The CD was nominated for the Finnish Etno- EMMA award in 2010. The Regional Council of Uppsala awarded Girilal their two-year artist grant for 2010-2011. He received a compositional grant from STIM in 2010 and has been supported on various occasions by the Swedish Arts Grant and other funding organizations. Girilal is a member of the Society of Swedish Composers (FST)." ^ Hide Bio for Girilal Baars • Show Bio for Ernesto Rodrigues "He has been playing the violin for 30 years and in that time has played all genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and improvised music, live and in the studio.
