“The evening culminated in a stupendous fantasy [Aetherworld] on a Josquin motet by the turntable virtuoso Shiva Feshareki, who sent blasts of electronic sound rippling round the hall while the singers sustained harmonies and Kit Downes had a rip-roaring time extemporising ferocious discords on the Albert Hall organ. That was fresh, exciting, provocative and like nothing else in these Proms”
- Richard Morrison, Chief Classical Music Critic, The Times

WHIRLING DERVISHES (2022) [Excerpt]

Composer: Shiva Feshareki

Title: Sama-zan Trip

Year: 2022

Length: 20’

Instrumentation: Live Ambisonic Electronics/Turntables and Symphony Orchestra.

Description: In reference to the spinning meditation practice of the Sufi Dervishes, ‘Sama-zan Trip’ is a physical and cosmic dance of energy in which live turntable-manipulation immerses the orchestra and the audience in spatial sound that glides and whirls within the space.  It is a single expansive piece that is accumulative, hypnotic and trance-like; building up and then returning down again. Premiered by Shiva Feshareki and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra at Musikprotokoll, Helmut List Halle, 2022. Co-Commissioned by ORF Musikprotokoll. We are currently looking for co-commissioners for this work.

Performers in audio example: Shiva Feshareki (ambisonic turntables) and Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Sama-zan Trip (2022) [Excerpt]

700WET, a clever wordplay on "wet" and "watt",  evokes the image of a charged battery ready to make some serious noise - and is eager to release its energy. This electrifying art-pop project is the brainchild of Marja Christians, an award-winning dancer and opera singer and Cid Hohner of Moonwalk X Records, OTTO, and Aufgang B. Their alluring synth-pop and honest operatic vocals transport listeners to a realm of sensual pleasure, inspired by the feminist power of erotica. Imagine Grace Jones singing minimal wave style in a Chicago house and you'll get a taste of their genre-defying 'Lovers-Dance' sound. Fans of italo disco and digi dub would surely like to take a bite here. They crafted their music with Yamaha Portasound keyboards and smoky Crumar string machines. All of this creates an authentic and distinctive sound that is hard to find elsewhere. 700WET is an explosion of creativity that will take you on a journey of lust, passion, and love.

"almost to the day 10 years ago i was exchanging emails with carsten (nicolai) and olaf (bender) for my first release with raster-noton. before i knew it, i was playing a concert at villa massimo - i never played in front of people before. till today i feel nervous and a bit estranged by the situation of live performances, but i've learned (a bit) to dive into this and get an experience out of it - after all an essential part of art is presenting what you've done to the public. making a mixtape, though, feels more natural and honest in some way. so, without the need to shoot from the hip, this mix is dedicated to all the patient, inspiring and encouraging people i've met with raster(-noton)."

VENUS/ZOHREH for String Orchestra

Conductor: Zoi Tsokanou

Orchestra: Dusseldorf Symphoniker

VENUS/ZOHREH is one exponential crescendo in volume, intensity, speed, and pitch exposure. Within this expansion a rich array of direct expression is exposed. After collaboration with the Venus expert and geologist Dr Philippa Mason (envison mission 2029), the composition was crafted using the same methods used to extrapolate information about Venus through what we know about Earth. The emotional journey behind the piece is inspired by my mother, Zohreh. Zohreh in the Persian language translates to Venus, or ‘the morning star’. Therefore, the scientific journey behind the composition is forged through the collaboration with Dr Mason, and the spiritual journey is from my mother Zohreh. These energies combine to create VENUS/ZOHREH.

Live from Frankfurt's LAB, Shiva Feshareki & the Ensemble Modern gave the world premiere of OPUS INFINITY on February 29th 2020. 

The turntable virtuoso and composer Shiva Feshareki from London is considered one of the most interesting current discoveries in the fields of contemporary music and electronic club music. For Ensemble Modern, she composed a new work for turntables, ensemble and loudspeakers, which Feshareki arranged at Frankfurt’s LAB according to a painstaking geometrical plan. The piece demonstrates the interconnection of sound with the naturally occurring patterns of the universe. The audience enter this spatial arrangement based on mathematical patterns, free to walk, stand, dance or sit, thereby becoming part of an immersive performance in which the composer manipulates her turntables live, intensifying and alienating allusions to the dancefloor. Together with the instrumentalists, she creates a dynamic sound sculpture which fills the entire space. 

The touch-based turntable spatialisation - which Feshareki controls live, in improvisation - was custom-installed by Christian Duka with state-of-the-art software developed by Auditif (Serafino di Rosario and Mario Buoninfante).

Opus Infinity (2019-2020)

Shiva Feshareki is an internationally acclaimed experimental composer and electronic artist who works at the intersections between electronic music, contemporary-classical composition and the “cutting-edge expression of turntablism”.
