Phormix Podcast #218 Soho Rezanejad by Phormix

Iranian multi-disciplined artist, Soho Rezanejad is a composer and vocalist whose practice is a testament to versatility, born in New York, and now residing in Copenhagen. Rezanejad's work is mutable, often narrated in mythological storytelling and disclosed in a dizzying spell of genres. Her debut full-length album, Six Archetypes, accompanied by the intense visual drama of a series of music videos, paint a kaleidoscopic cast of unfolding characters. This same unwavering commitment to change is also found across the diverse themes and instrumental palettes she has explored in her visual and sonic works. From her performance series, Crow Without Mouth, based on episodic plays, to the vigorous sampling of natural phenomena and hymn-like aria compositions on her two-volume album, Honesty Without Compassion is Brutality. Since 2015, she has recorded over ten albums reaching wide acclaim for her prolific practices in electronic music, and has collaborated with renowned labels such as Posh Isolation. For 2021, Soho initiates ‘The Entertainer’ - a multi-episode reinterpretation of her own body of work, previously performed in Slovakia, Denmark, Italy and now Greece.

She shares a journey into a woman who, based on her devotion to god, gets burned at the stake - similar to a moth with the flame where, based on its love for the light, flies into the fire to become one with it. Is the moth’s devotion driven by choice? What about the woman?

Soho Rezanejad will perform ’The Entertainer’ alongside concerts from Eartheater and Evita Manji at the Panoramic Steps of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) on Saturday, October 9th, 2021. Tickets are available here: >> https://ra.co/events/1462486 <<
