Fari Bradley An Iranian-born sound artist, Bradley’s practice involves sound sculpture, installation, performance and broadcast. With a background in classical and North Indian music, Bradley uses off-the-shelf materials, handmade electronic devices for improvisation and recording.

Fari showed two sketches in her presentation and played them with very Indian style instruments. Her two sketches were similar to a score, which is similar to the graphic score in the creative sound project. Her work is also done through acute creation.

The pan in the left and right channels of the intro to Fari’s piece Stereo Mountains is very comforting to me, and the vocals sampled in the piece are Persian, a reminder of the Zagros Mountains that Fari says in his introduction that this was inspired. Elements of Persian singing are similar to Yoder, and Zagros has many influences at the intersection of Iran, Iraq and Turkey. The Zagros spans the entire length of Iran’s western and south-western plateau, bordering Iraq and Turkey, ending at the Strait of Hormuz, and starting in north-western Iran and extending along Iran’s western border.
