OTS SFO #017 with [Lauren] Elizabeth Baba Part 2 of 2
May 12, 2020
While much has changed in society since this archived discussion from 2018 with [Lauren] Elizabeth Baba, we still manage to cull through some of the more universal aspects of creative and musical development, philosophical themes, and the deeply inspiring sources of Baba’s imaginative compositions and arrangements.
 
 
As you may have learned from Part 1 of our two-part discussion with Baba (Part 1 a more recent 2019 conversation), she is a violinist, violist, composer, and improviser, based in Los Angeles, California.  She has asserted herself as a prolific contributor throughout many musical categories such as original improvisatory, jazz, classical, folk, pop, avant-garde, chamber, and experimental styles; a veteran performer with  groups such as Similar Fashion, Ya Ya, Gregory Uhlmann Ensemble, Istambul, Thelonious Monkey, and Vardan Ovsepian Chamber Ensemble (or VOCE).
 
 
As before, most significant to our conversation today, is Baba’s role as the Composer and Director of theBabaOrchestra, a 17-Piece Big Band that performs her award winning original instrumental compositions.   
 
 
In this exchange we will be examining her work conducting the intricate and dense rhythmic voice of the large group and the collection of pieces she released as 'Another Ride on the Elephant Slide'.
 
 
Here, we get to know the [Lauren] Elizabeth Baba from 2018 in conversation.
