Sarah Davachi (b. 1987, Canada) is a composer and performer whose work is concerned with the close intricacies of timbral and temporal space, utilizing extended durations and alternate tuning systems to underscore gradual variations in texture, harmonic complexity, intonation, and psychoacoustic phenomena. Her compositions span solo, chamber ensemble, and acousmatic formats, incorporating a wide range of both acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Similarly informed by minimalist and longform structures, early music concepts of intervallic relation and affect, as well as experimental production practices of the studio environment, in her sound is an intimate and patient experience that reconfigures perceptions of the familiar and the distant.
--
Praised for their collaborative approach and ‘promoting international repertoire UK audiences ought to hear’ (Caroline Potter, I Care If You Listen) Standard Issue is a London-based new music collective dedicated to creating inclusive spaces to hear, see, and take part in new and experimental music.
