Electroacoustic Music

Sepideh is a multimedia composition for solo piano, video, and audio playback. The title itself carries a dual meaning, symbolizing both the dawn and an Iranian woman's name.

The creative process behind this work holds a special place in my heart. For me, it brought together two communities I belong to—mothers and children, and artists—that had never come together in a creative project before. I was grateful to collaborate remotely with Spanish vocalist Sandra Sangiao and Toronto-based pianist Yun Lee Young, and to work with Joshua Weinfeld of Continuous Motion Production, who recorded and edited the visuals.

The colorful ribbons woven through the piece carry deep symbolic meaning: in many cultures, they appear in women’s traditional costumes as expressions of resilience, identity, and the enduring strength of women across generations.

My hope is that this composition invites the audience to reflect on our shared resilience and the quiet power of human connection.

Goodnight Moon is a composition for voice, cello, piano and audio playback commissioned by a Montreal based trio, Noise Partout. Stay tuned for premier information!

Visiting Grandpa is a multi-channel soundscape based on my memories of my grandfather. It was written when I learned that the Iranian revolutionary guard demolished the historic cemetery of Baha'is in Shiraz (Iran), where my grandfather's remain, as well as many other Baha'is', were buried.
I'd like to thank my husband, Kamran Fallah, for the translation of the original text into English; Nika Khanjani, for her powerful narration of the story; and Roya Sepehri, for creating a serene atmosphere by chanting prayers beautifully in Persian.
