Details

Plume Girl is the alt-experimental solo project of Indian classical singer/composer, Sowmya Somanath (b.1991, Texas). At the heart of a web of musical influences lies an ode to the rāga system—a melodic framework that embraces sonic chroma, atmosphere, and mood. Through improvisation, Somanath kneels close to the boundaries of nature, memory, and identity, singing inside an unanswerable question.

Sean J Patrick Carney (b.1982, Traverse City, Michigan) is a writer, composer, researcher, visual artist, and educator. He is the creator and host of Time Zero, a podcast about the nuclearized world. His essays, criticism, and interviews appear frequently in publications including Aperture, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Artforum, High Country News, Art in America, Do Not Research, VICE, Southwest Contemporary, and the Holt/Smithson Foundation’s Scholarly Texts.
