CHA: An iconoclastic trio of classically trained artists who have crossed into the world of free improvisation - Carol J Levin (harp), Heather Bentley (viola), and Amelia Love Clearheart (voice). All three are active participants in Seattle’s dynamic creative music scene, now joining forces to make a bold and unique statement.

Adding a world of influences to their classic and jazz roots, CHA uses electronic effects to build a layered and varied spectrum of sound. But their most distinctive characteristic is that the group works entirely in the moment, with no scripting or pre-ordained structure. Percussive patterns, soaring strings, spontaneous poetry and haunting drones – the sounds of the earth – emerge as a unified voice through compositions that, even while defying labels, are remarkably accessible.

CHA’s first studio album, Remembering Backward, is available through Right Brain Records. These tracks emerged out of a single, freely improvised recording session, a sample of the trio’s diversity and range.
