Jordan Sand:

Jordan Sand is an American bassist, vocalist, improviser and composer based in Trondheim, Norway. Her solo music, described as "Joni Mitchell meets Ligeti" (Omaha Under the Radar), blends song, free improv and noise to haunting effects. Blurring the lines between bowed bass and siren voice, Sand delivers new myths from familiar acoustics, fusing strings and chords into an organ-like sound that transcends the sum of two parts. She has lived in four countries and ten cities, driven twice cross-continent in July, and plays on a Romanian double bass of otherwise unknown origin.
