Sudhu Tewari is an electronic composer, tinkerer and improvisor.
An early interest in disassembling alarm clocks and coffee makers gave rise to electro-acoustic instruments constructed with the remains of discarded stereo equipment, kinetic sculptures and sound installations.
Highly educated at Mills College in electronic music, Tewari has been seen
performing improvised music in various configurations with the likes of Fred
Frith, Cenk Ergun, Mark Bartscher, Tadashi Usami, Gunda Gottschalk, Eric Glick-Rieman
and Shelley Burgon.
Recently, Tewari collaborated with percussionist Kelvin Underwood on a project
that integrates Taiko drumming with electronics, noise and chaos and incorporates
Capoeira and Maculele movements.
In October 2006 Sudhu spent four months at the Artist in Residence program
at the San Francisco Dump, crafting interactive installations, kinetic sculpture,
lamps, and objects d’art from other people’s trash.
Sudhu has also been seen masquerading as a modern dancer with GroupA and has
recently taken an interest in creating light installations, costumes and wearable
sound art devices and happily fulfills his interests collaborating with GroupA
choreographer Alyssa Lee Wilmot.
