Ka Baird + Ludovica Manzo

Ka Baird (experimental - New York)   Web Site    Bandcamp

is a performer, sound artist, musician and composer based in New York City.  Using extended voice and microphone techniques along with electronics, feedback, field recordings, and flutes, they explore the outer dimensions of sound through performance. They create a present tense sound with a vigorous, ritualistic delivery that seeks extreme release through physical exertion and psychic extension. They have collaborated with many other artists, both in structured compositions and through their dedicated practice of improvisation.  Baird's new solo album will be released via RVNG Intl in February 2027, while a collaborative work with Chris Williams is just out on Outside Time in September.

Ludovica Manzo (experimental vocalist - Rome)   Soundcloud 

Vocalist and performer, she is active in the fields of improvised music, songwriting, and electroacoustic music. In her practice, the voice is the starting point for a sound investigation that includes electronic sound processing. Through research into processes of impromptu interaction, combined with compositional structures, she constructs sound environments and narrative paths that blend sound experimentation, songwriting, and electronics. Ludovica Manzo now embraces a path of pure vocal experimentation with this new project, significantly titled “In Vago Spirito,” released on October 19th by the Trentino-based label Kohlhaas and conceived in collaboration with guitarist and sound artist Ruggero Fornari.
