Odeya Nini makes her return to BMCM+AC, in support of her latest album ODE (Populist Records), exploring the multidimensionality of solo voice performance. Nini is a member of the Grammy nominated new music ensemble, Wild Up, and has recently completed a residency with Los Angeles-based destination-concert series, Feels Like Floating.
Local support from Grammy-award winning composer, Zach Cooper (RVNG Int'l, Ipecac Recordings), performing very quiet music for solo contrabass.
"Nini gave a (performance) of the sheer power of her vocal prowess, reaching notes deep as the earth and reaching twinkling harmonics meant for dogs ears."
- Mark Swed, LA Times
Odeya Nini is a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are performance practices, gesture, textural harmony, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Her work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally, such as The LA Phil, Merkin Concert Hall, The Broad Museum, and MONA from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv, Australia, Mongolia, Madagascar and Vietnam. Her performance of I See You was included in the The New Yorkers 10 notable performances of 2021. She leads vocal sound baths, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice.
Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts.
