Love in Exile creates lush, haunting collaborative soundscapes of meditation and yearning. Vocalist Arooj Aftab described the project as “about self-exile, and the search for freedom and identity, and finding it through love and music.”
Arooj Aftab is a neo-sufi and minimalist composer/singer who gracefully experiments and bends the lines between ancient mystic poetry, south asian classical, jazz, soul and electronic dreamscape musics. In 2018, Aftab was named among NPR's 200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women, and The New York Time's 25 Best Classical Songs of 2018. Aftab has opened for Mitski at the Brooklyn Steel, has performed at MoMa's Summer Series, and the Brooklyn Museum's First Saturday Series.
Composer-pianist Vijay Iyer has carved out a unique path as an influential, prolific, shape-shifting presence in twenty-first-century music. He received a MacArthur Fellowship, a Doris Duke Performing Artist Award, a United States Artist Fellowship, a Grammy nomination, two German “Echo” Awards, and the Alpert Award in the Arts, and was voted Downbeat Magazine’s Jazz Artist of the Year four times. He has two dozen albums under his name, including the forthcoming UnEasy (ECM, 2021) in trio with Tyshawn Sorey and Linda May Han Oh. He teaches at Harvard.
Shahzad Ismaily is a multi-instrumentalist composer, studio owner, and film scorer. Ismaily has recorded and performed with an incredibly diverse assemblage of musicians, including Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and Jolie Holland to name a few.
