Soosan Lolavar سوسن لولااور is a British-Iranian composer whose music “sounds like nothing else on earth” (Gramophone). Her work moves far beyond metaphors of “fusion” or assumptions of a binary opposition between east and west, instead aiming for a deeper, lifelong conversation between these musical traditions wherein her personal experience and creative work intertwine to produce something uniquely diasporic. Her work is concerned with deep attendance to the texture, transformation and layering of sound. Through these means, she creates music which continues to resonate in the world long after we have stopped listening.
