Shiva Feshareki in Residency at SARC
British-Iranian composer and turntablist Shiva Feshareki has been in residency this week in the Sonic Lab. Shiva worked with Pedro Rebelo and Craig Jackson developing ambisonics spatialisation for her new show for Sonorities Festival ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ.
"The new work is called LIQUID ZIGGURAT will be presented on the 11th April 10pm in the Sonic Lab with support by Rule Driven (John Macormac & Robin Price)
Shiva will present a live ambisonic turntable composition that she creates live in the moment in direct response to the energies in the room and the incredible sound-system becomes her instrument.
She will manipulate and warp records, time and space through the boundless possibility of the turntables, contorting samples of her own compositions along with peculiarities from her LP collection.
Shiva will employ an array of technology from vintage analogue tape echo, vinyl turntables, CDJs, to the state-of-the-art ambisonic technology found in the SONIC LAB at SARC to create experiences that reveal the fluid and infinite interplay between sound and the physics of space.
