Tara Busch is a Los Angeles-based writer, performer, film composer & producer. In 2013, she co-founded the audio/ visual project I Speak Machine with filmmaker/writer Maf Lewis. In 2022, I Speak Machine released the album WAR, accompanied by an iconic series of videos.
Tara’s unique stage persona and performance was carefully conceived as an extension of the subject matter and artistic design of the album WAR, as well as the single BRING ME THE GIRL. Tara commands the stage alone, shifting in an instant between harrowing, unhinged shrieks to stratospheric, operatic swoops. Her performance is wild and entrancing, featuring dreamlike interludes on her beloved synthesizers to offset the mayhem. The performance is most accurately described by a fan as “Nina Hagen meets Norma Desmond in a head-on collision with Lux Interior”.
