This solar-powered, carbon-neutral performance is presented as part of Family Weekend at UMass Amherst.

Thai-Swedish multimodal artist, singer and producer Sirintip creates works that center climate action through empathy and meaningful connections. She has released three critically-acclaimed albums, Carbon (Ropeadope), The Lost World (GroundUP) and Tribus (GroundUP), and has collaborated on albums from Bill Laurance of Snarky Puppy, Sasha Berliner, Kengchakaj Kengkarnka, and The Fur.

Ethereal but impassioned, Sirintip’s vocals move nimbly across sophisticated harmony, soar over dense walls of sound, and pulse through rhythmic modulations. Through her work, Sirintip seeks to create bridges of empathy. She aims to uncover and create connections through her music and her interdisciplinary works, arriving at moments of greater understanding.

Sirintip plans over the next seven years to shift her entire creative process into a sustainable practice. This shift includes scheduling more solar-powered performances, recording at solar-powered studios, printing bioplastic vinyls, and reducing her touring carbon footprint through efficient booking strategies. Sirintip hopes to engage more researchers on her artist path toward becoming more climate change-conscious: “I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, through art, to make a change,” she explains.
