Anoush Moazzeni is an Iranian-Canadian concert pianist, interdisciplinary composer, artist-researcher, new media artist, music technologist, Ph.D Candidate and part-time faculty at Concordia University. She identifies as a worker in intensities, chaos, rhythm, matter, ecologies of virtual, thought and senses. In her works, Moazzeni experiments, feels, and thinks through intersensory and multidimensional engagements with material and computational processes to create aesthetic and static forms that allow for meaning making, improvising with “otherly” expressive forces and opening up to intra-actions with matter. As a comproviser and alchemist, she engages with bodies and materials that are suffused with ethical, vital and material power.

The development of Anoush Moazzeni’s art incorporates interaction between artistic interpretation and scholarly reflection; particular areas of her interest include experimental philosophy, research-creation, transdisciplinary composition and performance. In these areas of practice, she conducts her works to investigate on the human-machine relationship, issues of representation, critical policy analysis, critical artistic and creative work in production of knowledge, new strategies for hybrid and interdisciplinary performance design, soundscape ecology, mixed music composition, extended techniques and unconventional instrumental performance practice, interactive musical technologies, interface design, robotics and the artificial intelligence. In her works engaged with new technologies, Moazzeni explores how the human-machine relations in music entail new modes of knowing and being and she tries to shed light on the ethical, epistemological and ontological issues that arise from and are implicit to art practices engaged with new technologies.

Moazzeni enjoys a performing career that has, frequently, taken her around the world. She has performed at various festivals, venues, museums and conferences in Americas, Europe, and West & East Asia. Anoush Moazzeni has been commissioned as artist, composer and lecturer-performer by arts & human rights institutions and organizations such as the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto(AKM), the Fine Arts Museum in Quebec City(MNBAQ) and Museum of Civilisation in Quebec City, the 2nd international Art and Human rights Symposium in Ottawa and the Canadian Music Center(CMC) in the recent years.
