Violin & Interactive Electronics
«die Violine als bloßen Zündfunken, als Genmaterial postviolinistischer Sonic Fiction, die längst ihre eigenen Partikelparties feiert» «violin as an initial spark, as genetic material for post-violin sonic-fiction, which celebrates particle parties of its own» — Bad Alchemy [Germany]
These pieces for violin and interactive electronics were selected from a cycle of works that blend improvisation and composition. Using Max/MSP software, Tectonic Shifts employs real-time processing to create twisted echoes, jagged rhythms, and microtonal landscapes. Recorded in the San Francisco Bay Area and Berlin between 2010 and 2013.

eXcavations
BlackCopper Editions 2015
Thea Farhadian - Violin
Klaus Kürvers - Bass
Twelve short free improvisations or “musical miniatures” that blend the raw edge of sound, evoking the sense of the past & blending sounding structures with minimalism and traces of harmonic interplay. eXcavations presents a rusty, almost “archival” musical collection with a fresh sound pointed in a new direction.
