Brooklyn, NY — In an era where technology defines human interaction, the Brooklyn-based musical ensemble Minaxi takes a bold artistic leap with the unveiling of Z of A, the first installment of an ambitious double album set to release in the summer of 2025. Drawing inspiration from the disruptions of modern life, Z of A seamlessly intertwines melody, spoken word, and film to explore themes of beginnings, endings, and the emotional weight of a world in flux.

Minaxi has earned a reputation for defying convention, blending western alternative music with the rich textures of Hindustani musical traditions. Z of A pushes the boundaries further, creating an immersive auditory and visual experience. The album, sung in English and Hindi, and supported by interludes in Farsi, Turkish, and Gujarati, is accompanied by a series of short films / music videos that merge music, technology, and human vulnerability.
