IRAN SANADZADEH

Iran Sanadzadeh is a performer and composer. Her work explores the possible relationships between movement and sound using her terpsichora floors, a set of pressure-sensitive wooden platforms used as a MIDI controller for performing electronic music.
These floors were developed as part replica, part extension of the work of Philippa Cullen, a pioneering Australian dancer who died tragically in 1975 at the age of 25 but who developed many new instruments and took on bold new ideas about movement, sound, transformation and connection. Her work fell into obscurity following her untimely death, but is now becoming recognised through books, exhibitions and new artists’ engagement with her ideas. Iran's instrument is used for controlling sound with the movement of the whole body, rather than using individual limbs or gestures to make sound.
Iran's collaborative practice-based research focuses on interaction design for music, movement and dance. She is currently the Convenor of Composition and Music Technology at Monash University.
Iran has just released her first solo album, and you can hear and read much more about the project here...
