Ananda Sen (C'98)
In June 2007, Ananda Sen started an ambitious project in which he is releasing, free for download, one new song every week for 52 weeks at his website, www.anandamusic.com. This year of free music is an experiment in one possible new direction of the music industry, where musical content is released on an episodic basis, akin to weekly sitcoms and magazines. Working with Ananda are Sami Feldman on guitar, Aaron Suplizio on bass guitar, Bradley Haag on keyboard, and Sim Grewall on drums. When not frantically writing and recording, Ananda and crew play gigs in and around Los Angeles. Click here for video! http://www.Anandamusic.com
