About

Description
Siddhu and Diana Ayanna are no strangers to the music industry. Their love of music, textural rhythms, fashion, glamour, mysticism, and all things artistic, led them to merge forces and create the Kama Sutra Lovers as an avatar for their creative energies.

This hot new duo is exploring new dimensions of DJ'ing and live electronic music on stage using drum machines, synths, live vocals, and laptops running Ableton Live.

With these elements, the Kama Sutra Lovers not only reference the history of modern electronic music performance and DJ culture, but move into it's next phase: the exciting combination of live performance using drum machines, synths, and vocals, with on the fly remixing and deconstruction of tracks on a granular level with micro loops.

No other music genre has been so driven by technological evolution, and “no boundries” experimentation than electronic music. From the early pioneers of Techno and House music who would use drum machines and tape loops to beef up their vinyl, to the experimentations of modern technologists (such as Ritchie Hawtin) who constantly push boundries and create controversy by their applications of new technologies challenging established ideas of DJ’ing.

Of course, let's not forget where it all started, with pioneering 70s DJ Francis Grasso who invented beat matching and paved the way for 12" mix by simply mixing between two copies of the same vinyl record to create an extended mix for the dance floor.

Inspired and motivated by this intersection of music and technology, the Kama Sutra Lovers show is organically evolving on the cutting edge. Not burdened by preconceived notions of what a "DJ" or band should be, or what technology they must use to be "authentic", the Kama Sutra Lovers show of today, will not be the same show in 2 years, let alone 5 years.

Poised to be a major breakout act for 2009, the Kama Sutra Lovers are booked to at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami and are embarking on a seven city US mini-tour in the Spring.

The Kama Sutra Lovers show is Diana and Siddhu creating and manipulating audio using:

2 Macbook Pros running Ableton Live
Elektron Monomachine (synthesizer)
Elektron Machinedrum (drum machine)
Neumann KMS 105 microphone
2 Metric Halo 2882 sound cards
Top secret outboard gear
A whole bunch of midi controllers

Their unique signal processing gives their beats a powerful punch and adds a silky, sexy shimmer to their signature brand of DirtyHorny-TechHouse-MinimalFunk!
