Sirintip

 

Praised for her depth and dimension, interdisciplinary artist Sirintip draws inspiration from a range of styles and disciplines. Her works explore unsung intersections of humankind and the natural world - a focus that drives her curiosity and expands her output. Part ethereal, part impassioned, her vocals move nimbly across sophisticated harmony, soar over dense walls of sound, and pulse through rhythmic modulations. A highly sought-after studio collaborator, Sirintip has shared her unique sound on more than 50 recordings. “I have musical roots in jazz, pop, Thai traditional music, and European classical music - I’m more than one thing. I just try to share my message and connect with people,” says the New York-based Swedish-Thai artist.

As a singer, composer, and producer, Sirintip has released two critically acclaimed albums, Tribus (GroundUP Music, 2018) and Carbon (Ropeadope, 2022), the latter named one of DownBeat’s Best Albums of 2022. Michael League produced and performed on Tribus, which also features Mark Guiliana, while her broader recording collaborations include Bill Laurance, Evan Marien, and Sasha Berliner. Longtime collaborators include drummer Nolan Byrd, who performs across Sirintip’s projects and co-writes with her, and pianist and electronic artist Kengchakaj, a regular member of her ensembles. She also composed and performed the score for Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1925 silent feature The Lost World, released by GroundUP Music and presented at Alamo Drafthouse theaters across the U.S. Her latest project, White Lilies, turns her focus inward. Written in the wake of her father’s death, the six-song record explores grief, memory, home, and the invisible connections that remain between people and places after they are gone.

Sirintip has toured internationally as a bandleader and as support for Snarky Puppy and Sungazer. She has headlined festivals including Wonderfruit in Thailand, Umeå Jazz Festival, and Winnipeg Jazz Festival, with additional appearances at DC Jazz Festival, Winter Jazzfest, Stockholm Jazz Festival, and multiple editions of GroundUP Music Festival. Her work has been presented at institutions and venues including SFJAZZ, the Nobel Museum, National Sawdust, Stockholm Concert Hall, National Theatre Bangkok, Norton Museum, Wave Hill, Joe’s Pub, The Jazz Gallery, and Nublu, with collaborative appearances at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, Blue Note New York, Birdland, and Dizzy’s Jazz Club. In 2016, she opened for Wayne Shorter at the Polar Music Prize after being named a finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition.

Sirintip uses everything she has to her advantage — clout in both the pop and jazz worlds, tri-lingual vocal ability, and the soaring ethereal elegance of her Scandinavian upbringing and the percussive sharpness of her Thai roots. Her desire to explore, though, shines through it all.

Sirintip’s curiosity has increasingly expanded her practice beyond recorded music into large-scale composition, scientific research, data sonification, and immersive multimedia performance. Conceived and led by Sirintip, her interdisciplinary project Mycelium grew from years of collaboration with scientists studying fungi and plankton and was shaped alongside composer and trumpeter Danny Jonokuchi, visual artist Nitcha Tothong, and choreographer Marie Lloyd Paspe. Bringing together a nine-piece ensemble, data sonification, visual projections, and dance, the project transforms ecological research into an embodied performance experience. Mycelium has received support from the New York State Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, South Arts, STIM, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, and Oregon Sea Grant.

The research-driven practice behind Mycelium also led to Sirintip’s selection for NEW INC’s Creative Science Track Y12, where she began articulating and naming the methodology she had developed through years of interdisciplinary work: Artistic Systems Modeling, a framework for translating complex systems into artistic form. She later formalized the framework through an extended abstract published by Cambridge University Press and continues her involvement with NEW INC as a community member. Building on this evolving body of work, Sirintip is currently developing an NSF-funded immersive musical experience commissioned by marine biologist Dr. Kelly Sutherland at the University of Oregon.

Sirintip’s work as a composer and arranger spans orchestral and large-ensemble settings. Recent projects include a 90-minute commissioned suite for the Swedish Radio Jazz Group and an orchestral arrangement performed by Jeff Goldblum and the Heritage Orchestra at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Her orchestral work also includes arrangements for the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Malmö Symphony Orchestra, and she is currently developing a new commission to compose and perform with the Capitol Symphonie Orchester in Offenbach am Main, Germany.

Committed to sustainability, Sirintip performs solar-powered concerts and presses her music on bioplastic vinyl, extending the environmental questions within her work into the ways that work is made and presented. She is also adjunct faculty at The New School in New York, where she teaches voice, ensemble performance, and electronic music production. She holds degrees from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and Manhattan School of Music in New York.

Across intimate songwriting, orchestral composition, scientific collaboration, and immersive performance, Sirintip’s work is driven by a desire to uncover connections - between cultures, disciplines, ecosystems, places, and people. Whether translating the hidden networks of microorganisms or tracing the emotional landscapes of grief and memory, she uses research as a creative engine and music as a way of making the unseen felt.
