AMELIA CUNI is singer, composer and performer. She has trained her voice and musical skills in India, according to the tradition of DHRUPAD singing and KATHAK dance. Her present work includes early and contemporary music and collaborations with artists of international repute. Her own multimedia performance ASHTAYAMA-SONG OF HOURS has been presented in seveveral international festivals in Europe and USA. Her latest work is JOHN CAGE's SOLO 58 (microtonal ragas from his SONG BOOKS, 1970), in co-production with several European new music venues. Her music is featured on various CD productions. She is engaged in the trasmission of the musical knowlegde she received in India and teaches regular classes and workshops in Italy and Germany. There have been and there will be many artists and works influencing my music and my understanding of art. First of all, my main Indian music teachers: R.Fahimuddin Dagar, Bidur Mallik and sons, Dilip Chandra Vedi, Manjushri Chatterjee, Raja Chattrapati Singh. In Europe, I have become acquainted with some of the great contemporary artists through my partner Werner Durand. Many are the composers whose music has had an impact on my own creations. First of all, the ones with whom I have collaborated and therefore came to know well: Terry Riley, Chico Mello, Maria de Alvear, Roland Pfrengle, Francis Silkstone, Fernando Grillo, Ulrich Krieger a.o. John Cage deserves a special mention, since the in-depth work I have done on his '18 microtonal ragas' has taken me a long way forward in the path I am treading between worlds and cultures.
