The Farhadian-Brown Duo brings together the parallel concerns of two prominent
members of the Bay Area’s new music scene.
Thea Farhadian is a violinist and
composer whose music combines a classical background with extended techniques
and live digital processing of her instrument.
Chris Brown is a pianist and
composer who performs with acoustic and electroacoutic instruments, writes
interactive music software and often incorporates microtonal tunings in his music.
Both musicians are prolific improvisors and their duet is based on a practice of
creating instant compositions. Their experimental music navigates through an
exhilaratingly wide range of musical textures and styles.
