Nazanin Noori is an artist, who lives and works in Berlin. Her interdisciplinary work includes sound art, composition, live and lecture performance, installation, direction, and text.
With a formal education in theater, film and media studies, Noori addresses the merging of sound, space, sculpture and post-dramatic poetry, focussing on atmospheric narratives. Primarily delving into the Ambient Hardcore realm, her hypnoacoustic compositions also extend into Doom Electronics.
Since 2016, she began her work with compositions for theater and art film. Her debut album FARCE, published on the enmossed label in 2020, was followed by her 54-minute sound piece HAAL, which premiered in 2021 at the Berliner Festspiele exhibition The Sun Machine Is Coming Down at the ICC and was subsequently released by Deutschlandfunk Kultur. Nazanin Noori had artist residencies at Junge Akademie der Künste and Callie's. Her sound and room installations were on view at EIGEN + ART Lab, Akademie der Künste, CCA Berlin, House of World Cultures, as well as Transmediale.
Her performances have been staged at Villa Massimo, Berghain, Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Schauspielhaus Zürich, La Gaîté Lyrique, CTM Festival and ICA. Her theatre works were staged at Deutsches Theater, Berliner Ensemble and Schauspiel Hannover. Her sound scenarios have been presented in various radio stations across Africa, Asia, America and Europe, such as Mutant Radio, Deep House Tehran and Refuge Worldwide, where she holds a residency since 2021.
Nazanin Noori performs in Doom Jazz improvisations as a modular synthesist and vocalist, particularly as part of the trio Parvaresh/Noori/Zahedi, next to the bass clarinetist and clarinetist Shabnam Parvaresh and Azin Zahedi, who plays the santoor, bansuri and flute.
