Sound, installation and radio artist, improviser, composer and producer, Zahra is a multi-instrumentalist whose instruments include piano, double bass, bass guitar and custom-built electronics by Stephan Moore (www.oddnoise.com). Her sound is characterized by a burgeoning archive of field recordings, instrumental and found sounds that she edits, loops, transforms and re-composes as central organic elements of her music in a differentiated exploration of spaces between, where voices, instruments, machines, the sea, wind, rain, animals and landscapes provide the acoustic basis for auditory worlds. Production and live tools include hardware by arturia, motu, roland and various recording devices, software includes pro tools, ableton live, max/msp and various daws. Collaborations include work with Mia Zabelka in various constellations, notably the ongoing project One.Night.Band and trio with Lydia Lunch, Medusa’s Bed.
