The New York Times describes him as an “indispensable player on the New York avant-garde", and his performances have spanned a variety of venues and festivals across North America and Europe. He's worked with bands led by artists such as Marc Ribot, Tyshawn Sorey, Amirtha Kidambi, Ches Smith, Imani Uzuri, Ingrid Laubrock, and Anna Webber. In 2019 he was awarded the Van Lier Fellowship by Roulette Intermedium, which supported the world premieres of The Floor is Lava! and La Operación, referred to as “a work so dramatic and large that is both a response to socio-historical truth as well as a reflection on his own identity…” (I Care If You Listen). In 2019 he released his debut album, Atlantic Extraction, which “features the unusual instrumentation of double bass, drums, electric guitar, flute, [and violin]- and his compositions put that configuration to imaginative use” (The Wire). His work for bass, 'Mulch Awareness Month' was premiered in its first iteration on June 16th, 2020 in Brooklyn, New York, and July 30th at MISE_EN PLACE in its final workshopped form. https://www.bassplayersforblackcomposers.com/sarian-sankoh daily 0.75 2020-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30398f103c7a088563cc0b/1598225148436-VLO3B1ZAZPR5NCVU4SYZ/IMG_3133.jpg Sarian Sankoh https://www.bassplayersforblackcomposers.com/tyson-j-davis daily 0.75 2020-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30398f103c7a088563cc0b/1599687065121-IHGCWI4MSVO65X6NQOV9/Image.jpeg Tyson J.

In 2017, Bass was hired to compose the soundtrack to a graduate thesis film from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. She pioneered the biggest film scoring project, and the only one of its kind, in the history of Oberlin College and Conservatory by recruiting a 45-member orchestra to conduct a live recording of her 22-minute soundtrack. She is a two-time alumna of the Palomar Film Music Workshop where she was mentored by Hollywood film composers Roger Neill and Larry Groupé. In 2019, Bass took on professional work collaborating with film director, Carl Kriss, who had worked as editor with National Geographic, the History Channel and Amazon, to compose the soundtrack for his latest documentary Bring It Home. In 2020, prominent Israeli-American cellist, Inbal Segev, commissioned Bass as one of twenty hand-selected composers, to write a piece for her latest album "20 for 2020". Volume No. 1 of the album, featuring Bass's piece "Taal-Naad Naman", was publicly released on June 25th, 2021 and is currently available on all public music platforms. Most recently, Bass was commissioned by the Bass Players for Black Composers (BPBC) organization to compose a full-length, solo work for Double Bass. Bass' collaboration with double bassist Michael Martin and BPBC culminated in a public workshop, live interview and performance of her piece, which will be premiered by Martin on June 26th, 2021. At Oberlin, Bass worked as the Assistant Conductor to the visiting Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Michigan Philharmonic, Nan Harrison Washburn. As a current Fulbright-Nehru grant recipient, Bass serves in the capacity of an ambassador and will conduct her research in Karnataka, India, under the combined guidance of internationally-renowned musicians, Dr. Mysore Manjunath and Pt. Udayaraj Karpur. Having to postpone her Fulbright for one year as a result of Covid-19, she is temporarily conducting her Fulbright studies virtually and currently studies Hindustani classical music and tabla performance with Pt. Udayaraj Karpur. In Fall 2022, Bass will attend the Royal College of Music in London to pursue a two-year master’s degree in Composition for Screen. Her plans after graduating from the RCM include a continuation of her work in composition, potentially as a composer’s intern, and her ethnomusicological research. https://www.bassplayersforblackcomposers.com/amyra-leon daily 0.75 2021-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f30398f103c7a088563cc0b/1624800038107-ZZV9BUG6KB8XON5IIK8T/amyra+headshot.jpg Amyra Leon - Amyra AMYRA is a musician, author, director, & activist.

Formerly, he was a Diversity Fellow with the Cincinnati Symphony, and an Associate Member of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. He holds degrees from Northwestern University and Oberlin Conservatory of Music in double bass performance. Michael lives in Miami Beach, Florida, with his girlfriend Rose, their tuxedo cat named “Tofu”, and an ever-growing collection of houseplants. Michael began his study of the double bass with Suzuki teacher Domenick Fiore in early high school, and quickly discovered a deep love of the double bass in all its musical capacities. He has studied with renowned bass professors Tracy Rowell, Andrew Raciti, Owen Lee, and Alexander Hanna. Throughout his undergraduate and graduate degrees, Michael developed a passion for string pedagogy, and has taught private and group lessons at the Cleveland Institute of Music’s preparatory program, as well as lessons and ensemble coachings at Cleveland Heights High School. As part of his graduate degree, he studied string pedagogy with the legendary cello pedagogues Hans Jørgen Jensen and Cornelia Watkins-Dyer. In addition to orchestral playing, Michael found an appreciation of contemporary music in his time at Oberlin Conservatory, and can be heard on the album Songtree performing the music of Ricardo Zohn Muldoon alongside faculty of the Eastman School. Michael is also the subject of an episode of the Slate podcast How To! by Charles Duhigg on peak performance. He is also the creator of Black Reflections, a three-part panel discussion series on racial justice in music, featuring Black luminaries of classical music and jazz such as Chi-chi Nwanoku, Christian McBride, and Dr. Tammy Kernodle.
