Producer, Composer, Percussionist & Curator RENU (Renu Hossain) presents her brand new EP - 'Shortwave Listening - poems & prophecies' (Featuring poet, writer & activist xamques from Namibia). Renu Hossain (RENU) is a London born, Bengali heritage, Berlin & London based interdisciplinary artist. RENU released "They Dance in the Dark" late 2017 to critical acclaim and has played percussion for the likes of Grace Jones and has composed for the Munich State Opera. She has been lionised by BBC Radio 6, The Quietus, Art Forum Magazine, Cannes Film Festival (Best Sound design) & Electronic Sound Magazine, Learning from percussion Masters in India, Brazil, Spain and Cuba, composing for choreography, theatre & film.

The solo concert is an odyssey of live rhapsodic electronica, experimental tunes interspersed with majestic beats of Tabla, Latin percussion and Cajon. This married and coupled with visuals filmed & curated over 2 years in Beirut, London, Delhi, Bangladesh and Berlin.

'Shortwave listening - poems & prophecies’ The story is: on Earth is the biggest meteorite, HOBA. It landed on the planet 80,000 years ago. From this meteorite, it is evident those who live in the same land, that this remnant of space rests, have parts of it in their DNA.

The EP is an attempt at communicating with celestial spaces. To our past, our shared atoms and molecules and a small wink towards epochal Orchestral electronic composers.

'Shortwave listening - poems & prophecies’ out on November 1st 2024
