​
Queering the Archive: Electric Bach & Ysaye | Oct 14, 2022
Indexical, Santa Cruz, CA | Performer & Electronics Composer
​
A muted violin signal is fed through automated and pre-programmed digital effects meant to highlight, distort, delay, break apart, and queer the phrases and gestures of traditional compositions often studied within elitist and patriarchal frameworks

SAMPLE #2
Musickers Of Our Time | Hassan Estakhrian
World premiere October 27, 2022
Stanford Re-Presence Artist Residency, Center for Computer Research in Music Acoustics, Stanford University, CA
​
A theatrical musical performance in which musicians or "musickers" battle through improvisation techniques in a game-show like process. The outcomes are not pre-determined and the piece, deeply satirical in nature, forces us to question the ways in which participate in constructed competitive expectations.
