RAMP Concert 4 - Mariam Rezaei

Virtuoso turntablist and composer torches genre boundaries, melting down punk, breakcore, electroacoustic music, Eurodance, avant-rock, grime, hip-hop and free noise.
Mariam Rezaei is a multi-award-winning composer, turntablist, and performer working across experimental new music, free improvisation, mutant club music, and hip-hop. Described by The Wire as one of the most technically adept and creatively daring artists to use the turntable as a musical instrument, the Anglo-Iranian virtuoso uses a digital vinyl system to manipulate an expansive range of samples in real time, combining classic turntablist skills with her own innovative techniques. Her latest solo release FRACTURED (Heat Crimes) was praised by The Wire, Uncut, and Bandcamp Daily, and named one of The Quietus' cassette releases of 2024. She is a member of the international free music supergroup The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters and the pioneering Turntable Trio with Evicshen and Maria Chávez, with collaborators including Jennifer Walshe, Pat Thomas, Farida Amadou, Valentina Magaletti, Lasse Marhaug, and Okkyung Lee.
