COMPOSER MUSICAN PRODUCER
NEW ALBUM. 'SHRI - SINGING BASS'
​
This album features bass as a melodic instrument, sometimes with loopers, effects, minimal layering, occasional tabla and bansuri (Indian flutes). It is the result of self-exploration to achieve a dreamy escape from the realities of today's world, to a space of ... hope?
'Singing Bass' is out now!

" This sumptuously crafted album acts as a microcosm of Shri's sonic world. The sounds and landscapes of India are never far away, but they're transformed by musical experiences and collaborations that have helped to define his journey thus far...."
Shri Sriram by John Cumming, co-founder, director, Serious/London Jazz Festival, 1980s-2019
“ ...they introduced me to the world of British rock music and, specifically, the great Black Sabbath! When I heard the boomboomboom of Geezer Butler’s bass guitar I had no idea what instrument I was listening to but I knew that whatever it was, I wanted to play it. That was my introduction to the bass guitar.” - Shri
