Anju Singh is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, media artist, and video artist based in Vancouver, BC whose practice is an exploration of texture and contrast through the use of extended/experimental techniques, electronics, musical and non-musical materials, and processing. Anju works with traditional instruments, electronics, found sounds, custom-built instruments, photography, video, serigraphy, and film to create works that explore tension and conflict. As a multidisciplinary artist, her works are often collaborative process-based works that bring contrasting themes and concepts together. A core process in her practice is using methods of deconstruction and reanimation to repurpose and contextualize materials in new compositional environments. Her portfolio includes traditional music composition, performance, electronic music, sound sculptures, film, and audio-visual installation work, as well as custom instrument design and print making.
Anju’s work has been presented across Canada, in Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and the United States at festivals, galleries, and events in a variety of spaces including Fylkingen in Stockholm, Sweden; Send + Receive Festival in Winnipeg; Vancouver Jazz Festival, Polygon Gallery; and most recently in Copenhagen, Denmark. Anju will be presenting her work in Japan as part of a tour in April 2024.
