30. Thea Farhadian, Tattoos and Other Markings

Thea Farhadian is a composer and violinist who creates multi-textured sound worlds which employ an array of elements drawn from her engagement with Western classical music, performance art, Arabic classical music, and live electronic processing. She collaborates with a network of Bay Area, East Coast, and international colleagues and her work has been seen and heard at Galerie Mario Mazzoli in Berlin, the Aram Khachaturian Museum in Yerevan, and Bimhuis in Amsterdam. Today, Other Minds Records releases Farhadian’s newest album, Tattoos and Other Markings, an electronic composition exploring cultural memory and the urge to remember difficult histories.

Music: “Mokats Mirza,” “There was and there was not,” and “Eulogy” from Tattoos and Other Markings by Thea Farhadian (Other Minds Records)
