Opus Infinity Shiva Feshareki / Ensemble Modern Concert

The London-based composer and researcher Shiva Feshareki is an outstanding representative of the younger generation of creative turntable artists. In her composition Opus Infinity she links her extraordinarily physical, improvisation-based turntabling with the electronically amplified and precisely projected sounds of the Ensemble Modern. Underlying this expansive sculptural composition is a minutely elaborated plan for the alignment of musicians, loudspeakers and turntables. It is based on the principles of ‘holy geometry’, which materialises cosmological ideas from Indian Jainism in the space according to golden spirals. In geometry these are logarithmic figures whose growth factor is the golden section. In Shiva Feshareki’s Opus Infinity countless overlapping acoustic spirals of this kind, structure the physical and metaphysical space of the Baroque Galerie and relate to the endlessly convoluted ribbon of grey-blue ceiling ornamentation.
