Biography
Arushi Jain aka OSE (ओस) is a Brooklyn based modular synthesist and Indian classical vocalist.
Arushi's compositions are inspired by Hindustani classical music (the traditional music of North India). She grew up in Delhi, training vocally at the Prayag Hindustani Music School and at the Ravi Shankar Institute in Delhi (via the Mozart Choir of India). She studied Computer Science at Stanford University, where she was introduced to computer generated sounds and synthesis at the Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Since then, she has cultivated an interest in instrument design and sonic experimentation with a focus on linking western and eastern musicology.
Arushi is the founder of Ghunghrun, a radio series and label based out of San Francisco and New Delhi. Ghunghru creates spaces where sound can exist without needing to be music. Works released under Ghunghrun stress collaboration across artistic mediums such as sound, moving image, dance and technology.
Arushi's compositions are inspired by Terry Riley, Ravi Shankar, Sheila Chandra, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Kara Lis Coverdale. Her debut album ‘With & Without’ was released on Ghunghrun in 2019 to much praise. Her track “Is it love?” was featured by FACT as one of the best tracks of 2019, and her work has been featured on MixMag, Magnetic Magazine, Bandcamp, XLR8R, Vogue, Red Bull Music and more.
