Alternative Singer-Songwriter/Composer-Producer Avi Misra launches his fifth album ‘Nostalgia’ at The Toff in Town in Melbourne, CBD on the 2nd Of March 2023.
Best known for his signature baritone and transcendentalist poetry, Misra seamlessly blends classic rock sensibilities with electronica experimentations and Hindustani textures to make a sound that’s his own. His songs are vivid, thought provoking and soulful. His production ethos is refreshingly organic with synths, guitars and finger drumming recorded live on record and vocals never autotuned.
Born out of deeply personal though universally relatable lockdown reflections of the Tokyo born, Delhi raised, Melbourne based songwriter – ‘Nostalgia’ presents a 21’st century take on classic synth rock animated by the sonic flavours of legendary synthesizers like the Moog System 55, Yamaha CS 80, and Hammond Novachord that Misra got to record courtesy a recently concluded scholarship at The Melbourne Electric Sound Studio.
He will be joined by fellow M.E.S.S. advanced artist development course alumni Singer-Songwriter Camilla Rose Sullivan and Live Electronic Musicians of Melbourne (L.E.M.O.M.) director Simon Quinn’s synth wave duo ‘ The Safety Word’.
