4pm record listening
Intentional Record Listening with Nordra (Monika Khot) Let's listen to a record together – no cell phones allowed. Each artist has written a short blurb on why they chose a particular record. We'll read this together, and then hit play. Reduce your screen time while expanding your musical knowledge. Win-win. Nordra is the project of London/New York based multi-instrumentalist and producer Monika Khot. The project lives as a means of bringing to the surface emotions of a nuanced nature. Nordra’s masterful ability to deconstruct musical structure in a language of industrial music and noise alongside the alchemy of her live performance has led to her sharing the stage with artists of a psychotropic nature like beak>, Demdike Stare, SUMAC, Anthony Braxton, Yves Tumor, Puce Mary, and OXBOW. Nordra has just finished work on her debut studio album “Time Did What Laughs”, produced by multi-faceted extreme, experimental and film score producer Randall Dunn. In between her touring-duties as bass player for Zola Jesus and her focus of scoring film and dance works, Nordra is playing select shows comprising works off past releases and songs from her new record. |
