Sarvenaz Mostofey’s background in photography and cinema seeps into her sound, lending a vivid narratives to her music. The Iran-born, Berlin-based sound artist and composer arranges electronic sounds to produce visceral designs that explore the relationship between space and physicality.
For SHAPE’s crackaud.io takeover, Mostofey contributes two new ieces: The Ear of the Poet and Drummer on the Roof. The former is a recording from The Ear of Dionysus, a limestone cave in Sicily known for its acoustic properties. The piece delves into the history of the cave via foreboding spatial acoustics and whispered vocals. For Drummer on the Roof, Mostofey “combines a maze of ideas and memories, guiding the narrator of the story and the player of the character as if s/he was a cyborg contemplating the realities of social fiction.”
Sarvenaz Mostofey is a member of SHAPE Platform’s 2021 roster. The seven-year initiative is a platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. Mostofey’s contribution is presented by depart.one in Dresden, Germany.
SHAPE is inviting listeners to show support for Ukraine by donating to the National Bank of Ukraine and Help Ukraine Center.
