Iran Sanadzadeh: Ocean, Again
Date:Fri, 05/12/2023 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVEEvent Type:Concert
Performing on the Terpsichora Pressure-Sensitive Floors, an electronic instrument controlled by whole-body movement, Iran Sanadzadeh performs from her upcoming debut album, Ocean, Again. This performance uses the gestural vocabulary learned on the instrument to control a large number of sonic parameters with few controls. The sonic aesthetic, minimal in starting material, weaves dichotomies resulting from unintuitive mappings on the instrument to find new sound associations. This work wonders if between the embodied feeling of movement and sonic stasis, small actions and rapid change, new experiences of musical structure might be formed.FREE and Open to the Public | In Person + Livestream
Pre-show talk with the artist at 6pm

Date:Thu, 10/26/2023 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVEEvent Type:ConcertWith his work described as “An exacting and fascinating meeting of art, music and science” (Jazzwise) and “extraordinary listening experiences” (Westdeutsch Zeitung), composer, performer, and sound installation artist Matthew Goodheart interleaves live performance and immersive sound environments in a hybrid world of composition, improvisation, interactive electronics, and spatial sound installation. Utilizing a technique known as “reembodied sound,” in which instruments are actuated via tactile transducers so that they appear to sound autonomously, he investigates the interrelationship between acoustics, space, sound production, and technology. In this concert, he will present a set of recent solo works combining transducer-actuated metal percussion and piano in an evolving series of eclectic and ethereal soundscapes.
