Ka Baird

Ka Baird is an American recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer based in New York City. Baird is known and heralded for her raw, ecstatic, and boundary pushing live solo performances which often involve energetic and experimental body movements, vocal and mic techniques and flute playing. 'Respires', the second solo album by Ka Baird, and first on RVNG, blurs the line between word and action, definition and possibility. Spirited yet restrained, bearing its wildly thrummed heart strings and inner calm alike, 'Respires' ventures toward the unknown, charting the shifting ground of experimental music and the rewards born of risk.'Hungry Shells', the seventeenth entry in RVNG Intl.’s intergenerational collaborations series FRKWYS, brings together Ka Baird with avant-garde composer and radical performance art pioneer Pekka Airaksinen. Recorded six months before Pekka’s passing, 'Hungry Shells' alchemizes separate but similar spiritualistic practices, canvassing Baird’s voice and synthesizer rituals and Airaksinen’s lysergic sound explorations into startling, surreal landscapes.
