Shiva Feshareki - Against The Clock

Shiva Feshareki is an internationally acclaimed experimental composer, turntablist and NTS DJ who works within the intersection between electronic classical composition and the “cutting-edge expression of turntablism“. We visited her London studio to catch a glimpse of what her unique artistic practice could yield in just 10 minutes. Using a variety of effects, a pair of turntables and a “sonic sculpture“ designed by Haroon Mirza, Feshareki manipulates a recording of her own acoustic orchestral composition DIALOGUE, recorded earlier this year by the BBC concert orchestra. Later this month, Feshareki will be the featured Composer at London’s Spitalfields Festival, at which she will showcase a new score, revisions of her compositions ’GABA-analogue’ and ’O’, as well as a new collaboration with artist Haroon Mirza involving lyrics from Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures.
