In this concert, Iran Sanadzadeh weaves her love of tangible materials with her interest in self-expansion. Frames of Reference is a new suite of vignettes that trace ways of interacting with the floors as well as synergies possible in moving between electronic and acoustic sounds. Frames of Reference uses sounds explored during a time away from the instrument and new objects as controllers; in this work that weaves wooden and bell-like objects with noise spectra, Iran is deepening her instrumental relationship with the floors and the capacity of other objects to serve as digital controllers for sonifying the floors.
Face coverings are recommended. We encourage you to continue wearing masks for the comfort of our audience members, artists, and staff. For more information please visit CCRMA's COVID-19 Policies and the COVID-19 safety protocols for Department of Music events.
Iran Sanadzadeh is a composer, performer and the designer of the Terpsichora pressure-sensitive Floors. She is the Convenor of Composition and Music Technology at Monash University. Her work focuses on new possibilities of expression that an extended relationship with newly designed instruments can offer. Iran performs primarily on her set of floors, developed initially from the study of the pioneering work of Australian dancer Philippa Cullen. She has been continuing the development of the Floors since 2015 in collaboration with composer Sebastian Collen. The Floors were a finalist in the 2023 Guthman Prize for Musical Instruments. Her debut album on the Floors, Ocean, Again, was released on PEOPLE SOUND in June 2023.
