Sound Palace 4, curated by Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi, is a sonic exploration of pop, electronica, jazz, new music, noise, light and visuals at VCC Broadway Auditorium (Building A) on Saturday, October 14, 2023.
Presented by Hard Rubber New Music, Sound Palace is a series of six concerts featuring musicians from diverse cultures and creative practices selected by one of three Sound Palace curators.
Sound Palace evolved out of Mixtophonics, a monthly workshop series from 2018 to 2020 that featured musicians from wildly different backgrounds and musical genres. By combining electronics, projection artists, dance grooves, noise artists, drummers, and world-class improvisers, Sound Palace creates a unique, exciting and experimental sound world, exploratory yet fun and accessible, experimental yet entertaining. Sound Palace is for new audiences and new vibrant members of the creative community.
Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi (b. 1997 Tehran, Iran) writes for hybrid instrumental/electronic ensembles, creates electroacoustic and audiovisual works, and performs electronic music. Her work has been performed at Ars Electronica Festival, Festival Ecos Urbanos, Tehran Contemporary Sounds, AudioVisual Frontiers Virtual Exhibition, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Yarn/Wire Institute, Ensemble Evolution, New Music on the Point, wasteLAnd Summer Academy, EQ: Evolution of the String Quartet, Iranian Female Composer Association, Music on Main, Vancouver New Music, and Media Arts Committee and SALT New Music Festival. Kimia is currently pursuing The Doctor of Musical Arts program in Composition at Stanford University.
