Mariam Rezaei will give some deeper insights into her work and performance skills at Forum Stadtpark.

Mariam Rezaei is a multi-award-winning composer, turntablist and performer working across experimental new music, free improvisation, mutant club music and hip-hop. Described by The Wire as “one of the most technically adept and creatively daring artists to use the turntable as a musical instrument,” Rezaei uses a digital vinyl system, allowing her to manipulate an expansive range of samples in real time. In addition to her mastery of classic turntablist skills (skratches, beat-juggles), Rezaei has pioneered several techniques of her own, including free juggling, turntable sines (controlling sine waves with the pitch slider),needle dripping (composing music specifically for needle dropping on multiple decks at once),and needle weaving (using a digital vinyl system to loop music live using two decks, with nothing predetermined).

The event is being held in cooperation with the Sound Design Master's program of FH JOANNEUM and the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz.
