Event Description

Flight Response is a contemporary jazz-inspired songwriting project led by singer-songwriter and music educator Tanvi Rao, known for her work with Sulk Station and Haiku. The project features a collection of deeply personal original songs written over the last year, bringing together her love of jazz harmony, traditional songwriting, and rhythmic exploration with an adventurous spirit

As both an educator and a lifelong learner, Tanvi believes that artistic growth comes from remaining actively engaged in the creative process. These songs are an extension of her ongoing musical journey, one that has evolved from the electronic and Hindustani influences of her earlier work to its current style—which she sometimes likes to describe as mellow-prog-jazz-pop. Together with Abhin Iype, a pianist and composer whose work bridges different styles of music, Aditya Choudhury, a guitarist and composer, and P H V S D Kiran, a drummer and music educator with an equally curious approach to musical exploration, Flight Response comes to life
