Shiva Feshareki (1987) is a British-Iranian composer, artist and turntablist, described as “the most cutting-edge expression of turntablism” and as “one of the most astonishing acts of musical alchemy of the last decade”. Over the last decade, she has been a pioneer at the leading edge of both the contemporary classical and electronic music scenes. She holds a doctorate of music in composition from the Royal College of Music and was the winner of the BBC Young Composer’s Award, The Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize and the Ivor Novello Award for Innovation. Shiva is currently a Visiting Fellow at Oxford University and The Oxford Research Centre, researching and presenting state-of-the-art spatial and ambisonic electronic composition. Describing Shiva’s music is far from straightforward, when the breadth of expression and range of compositions encompass everything from orchestral, solo, choral, chamber, electronic and interdisciplinary installation works. At the core of her work, Shiva creates experiences that reveal the fluid and infinite interplay between sound and the physics of space, the interconnection between the essential nature of sound and our living experiences.
