March 2025 Newsletter: New Release: Two Sequences out now on Burnt Seed Records
|
Hi friends, This newsletter is coming as the end of summer is approaching and the equinox and autumn are making their imminent arrival known. This year, I’m hoping to move with more intention and clarity. I’m excited that my new work, Two Sequences, was just released by the lovely Burnt Seed Records. Made up of sounds of the space, feedback, objects, working with the Floors and the Table Floors, this work is made up of recordings of improvisations on these instruments (recorded by Hadyn Buxton at Monash), with the creation of the layered produced work by myself and Theo Carbo. Joe Talia’s mastering was wonderful and I’m so glad to be using a beautiful photo by Niran Dasika for the cover. It was so much fun to try new forms, exciting scary ideas I’d wanted to play with for quite some time, and to make something from a free space for form. BSR have been so wonderful to work with and ever so patient and supportive, and I'm so delighted to have this music out through them. Here it is if you want to have a listen It’s been a big summer with so much love, care and growth, beach and roads, sunshine, friends, plants and pets. I’m trying to keep some January energy as March choochoos forward and things ramp up this year. Trusting in unfamiliar paths that I feel drawn to has been a great catalyst to lots of good in my life in the past few years; what does it look like to intentionally cultivate this trust in the moons ahead? Sending you all love from the shore, Iran xo |

Hello! I’m excited to finally get this out there! I made a video series on the Floors, how they work, and using them for music. This series is made for a broad audience of those outside the ‘new instrument design’ community, and also composers, designers and players of these sensor/gesture based instruments. The first 7 videos in this series cover varied elements of design - working with this instrument. Short demonstrative performance vignettes follow on both the Floors and the Table Floors...
Hello! Sebastian and I have been chipping away at the Floors since 2015 and as our lives have changed, we have grown, ebbs and flows of the project has kept us learning and iterating.

Hello Friends! I’ve loved drawing for a long time, and watercolours too. From about 2018, I started casually keeping a notebook of drawings when I travelled, and in 2021 onwards, it turned into a regular habit of sketching at gigs, hangs with friends, and then watercolours in and around the place.
