Shiva Feshareki - New Forms (2019)

NEW FORMS is the debut album by Shiva Feshareki. Her first LP-length recorded work is a sonic exploration of perspective, but also a social exploration of context: a symbol of how one idea can have so many perspectives of opinion, extension, complexity and interpretation.

Feshareki comments on the album: "Lack of communication and understanding between different social forms is one of the biggest issues I see and if I can demonstrate sonically how one form can be vastly transformed using nothing other than its own material, then I can demonstrate this complexity and vastness of perspective. NEW FORMS is the chaos, the escape, the brutality, the dischord, the beauty... NEW FORMS is very much to do with dialogue in aid of truth and understanding."

Shiva Feshareki is an internationally acclaimed experimental composer, NTS radio DJ and turntablist. Her diverse output explores acoustics, perspective and the sound of electricity through wide ranging practises that incorporate classical methodology. In 2017, she was honoured with the British Composer Award for Innovation from BASCA.
