Info
Angel Bat Dawid is a Chicago-based musician. Her practice extends beyond recorded music into live performance, education, and community building. Her performances are immersive, often incorporating spoken word, chanting, and collective improvisation that blur the line between concert and ceremony. Whether performing solo or directing large ensembles, her work insists on music as a vehicle for spiritual transcendence.
For TUNE, Angel Bat Dawid is composing new music for a programme with Munich-based musicians on Friday, 27.3. and Saturday, 28.3.. On Saturday, 28.3. an artist talk will take place beforehand. Both nights share the same conceptual framework and core material, with one emphasizing electronics and the other focusing on acoustic instrumentation and voice - offering complementary interpretations of a unified artistic vision. The compositions are inspired by Joel Augustus Rogers’ seminal work, Sex & Race, Vol. 1. Through improvisation and new music rooted in Western neo-classical and ancient compositional techniques, the project seeks to interrogate and elevate the themes of racial unity, historical neglect, and socio-cultural critique embedded within Rogers’ research..
Angel Bat Dawid is a Chicago-based musician, clarinetist, and composer whose work spans free jazz, spiritual jazz, and avant-garde improvisation. Rooted in the tradition of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and Sun Ra’s cosmic philosophy, her music channels ancestral memory, Black liberation theology, and deep listening into dense, emotionally charged sonic landscapes. Her debut album The Oracle (2019), recorded entirely on her phone, announced her as a fierce and uncompromising voice, layering clarinet, vocals, piano, and electronics.
