Shara Lunon

Composer

Mar 27

Shara Lunon is the product of the evolution of Black American musical traditions. As a transdisciplinary artist, her art finds the ethereal in the chaotic. With voice and electronics as the foundation, Lunon’s art is a synthesis of text, sound, objects, and the underground. Her goal is to challenge lassitude and in its place, instill hope. Lunon’s work has been featured in The Gothamist, commissioned by Metropolis Ensemble, MATA Festival, and has won residencies and grants with American Composer Forum's Create, OneBeat Fellowship, Papillion Farm, and Audiofemme. Lunon has collaborated with artists including Fay Victor, Ches Smith, Shahzad Ismaily, Darius Jones, Chris Williams, Lesley Mok, and Luke Stewart. Currently, she is working on releasing projects with her quartet History Dog and punk band Blasé."
