Program note:
The uncanny secret about the experience of falling apart is
 that one can—even if only for seconds—capture the image
 of the day just the way light is broken up into a hundred
 shattered shades and bended hues when it passes through
 a prism.

Welcome to my SoundCloud. I introduce the music of Kurdistan with a new approach. I love many folk songs from various cultures because they have the deepest roots in the customs, and I try to represent them from my perspective. Music and composition are my life.

Ashkan Behzadi, a recipient of 2025 Ernst von Siemens Composer Prize and a 2021–2022 Guggenheim Fellow in Music Composition, is an Iranian-Canadian composer based in New York. He earned his DMA in composition at Columbia University, where he studied with Fred Lerdahl, George Lewis, and Georg Friedrich Haas. Prior to this, he graduated from McGill University with a bachelor’s degree in composition and music theory, studying composition with Chris Paul Harman and Brian Cherney. Ashkan also holds a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Tehran University, where, at the same time, he took composition and music theory lessons with Alireza Mashayekhi.
Ashkan’s music has been commissioned and performed by various international performers and ensembles, including Ensemble Recherche, TAK Ensemble, Oerknal Ensemble, Ensemble Mosaik, Yarn/Wire, JACK Quartet, Grossman Ensemble, Divertimento Ensemble, Ensemble Alternance, Ensemble UnitedBerlin, Exaudi, Ekmeles, Wet Ink, Talea Ensemble, and le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM). 
His work has also been recognized with awards, artist residencies, and participation in festivals such as the Koussevitzky Foundation, Fromm Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, the Graham Sommer Second Prize, the Prix de Composition at Fontainebleau, the MacDowell Fellowship, the Civitella Ranieri Fellowship, the Divertimento Ensemble Composers Meeting, the Dialoge Festival at Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg, the Manifeste Festival at IRCAM, and the CIRMMT New Music Series.
For the 2019–2020 academic year, Ashkan Behzadi joined the Department of Music at the University of Chicago as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Contemporary Composition. Since september 2023, he teaches at the Manhattan School of Music as a faculty member in Music Composition.
The issue of genre identity or genre-blurring, along with the dialectical relationship between modernist lyric poetry and contemporary music, has formed the core of Ashkan’s aesthetic concerns in recent years. Structurally, his music demonstrates a great attention to detail, conveying a miniaturist and gentle lyrical landscape. By employing techniques of allusion and pastiche as the foundation of his craft, his music ultimately seeks to invoke the collective memory of folklore music.

Composer, researcher, saxophonist and professor from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I have a degree in Music (Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero) and studies in Musical Composition (Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Música Contemporánea). I’m a professor of the Bachelor of Music at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero (UNTREF) and I teach at the Universidad de Palermo (U.P.) in the Area of Artistic and Musical Creation.

My work as a composer encompasses chamber music, mixed media, works for solo instruments, instrumental theatre, film music, sound art, instrumental post-rock, and popular music arrangements. I have received commissions from various instrumentalists, ensembles and institutions. My works have been performed by renowned musicians; presented at various festivals, cycles and concerts in Argentina, Uruguay and the United States.

Within the problems that I address in my compositions, some are technical and are related to compositional procedures and purely musical reflections (an art that speaks of itself) and others are of a philosophical nature and are related to the identity and constitution of the subject in so much dialogue with the Other (culture, society, history, the musical corpus). These problems are interrelated and are reflected, above all, through intertextual relationships and hybrid compositional processes.

In my works I apply various hybridization processes that bring together dissimilar techniques and sound universes. At the same time, I establish intertextual relations both intersemiotic (novels, poetry, paintings, assemblages) and intrasemiotic (elements of jazz, blues, rock or contemporary music).

My aesthetic is defined by a constant search and is usually more full of questions and ambiguities than certainties and absolutes.
