Munsha

Singer, cellist, and composer, who works and performs with theater, installation, video art, and multimedia. Organizes the Glass series (Berlin).

Munsha is one of the aliases of the Berlin-based
music artist Daniela Lunelli.
Munsha is the musical alter ego of a hybrid entity.
She embraces imperfection and the unexpected in
her artistic quest, finding beauty in chaos and
uncertainty.
Through her music, she challenges conventions and
explores new boundaries, inviting listeners to lose
themselves between sound and human nature. Her
tracks are an ever-evolving experiment, a distorted
reflection of the world around us, seen through the
prism of altered perceptions.
As a mere human, Daniela Lunelli is an Italian
composer, performer, curator, and music educator
who works and performs across various media,
including theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary
fields.
She studied opera, modern singing, and extended
vocal techniques, as well as cello and sound design,
at Italian Conservatories. Her artistic identity is
shaped by multiple musical lineages: on one hand,
academic training; on the other, the grit of punk
rock and the sonic heritage of the Mediterranean
area. Over the years, she has built “a reputation for
crossing cultural and musical boundaries” within the
experimental and independent music scenes. She
has performed music ranging from baroque to
contemporary, from dark wave to world music,
accumulating a wide spectrum of musical semantic
facets: an approach she defines as transcultural
sound.
Her musical scores and interdisciplinary productions
span new classical (e.g. Mädchenorchester), noise
(e.g. Siren Orchestra, Chorus Terræ), and concrete,
electro, and industrial music, detouring even into
hip-hop and songwriting.
