Bio
..LISA SANGITA MOSKOW .. .."Using her years of classical training on the sarod as a foundation, Lisa Moskow takes the North Indian 25-string lute into original byways of her musical imagination, constantly inventing new contexts for the unique sliding, bending,droning tones that sing from her instrument. Brilliant recent recordings include collaborations with sound sculptor Robert Rich (Yearning) and flutist/clarinetist Hermann Buhler and percussionist Geoffrey Gordon (Sojourn)." --Derk Richardson SF Bay Guardian.. ..Composer/sarod player Lisa Sangita Moskow has gained international recognition for her innovative work with the sarod, a 25-stringed lute from North India. She has spent the last 28 years creating original compositions and unusual ensembles for this instrument, and has performed extensively throughout Europe, Mexico, and the U.S. West Coast... ..

Sounds Like
..East-West sound. I like being in the intersection of different styles and cultures. I look for originality and sincere and coherent emotional expression. All the music I'm attracted to has a strong spiritual energy. .. ..Music is my religion. It is also a language unto itself and an amazing vehicle of communication. .. ..Music is a healing art--a meditational and transformational tool. Music takes us deep into our ancestry--in the beginning there was sound. We hear sound from the womb before we are born and it is the last sense to go when we die. ..
