MARINA ROSENFELD

After an eight-year stint in Los Angeles, composer and artist Marina Rosenfeld is back in New York, now based in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Her turntable compositions, audio/visual installations and musical performances, including her "sheer frost orchestra," have been presented internationally, including by the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Kitchen, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the CCAC Institute, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, and festivals including Ars Electronica, Musikprotokoll, Donaueschingen, and Maerz Musik, among many others.

Recent projects have included the "Turntable Hell" '02 tour, with the London Musicians Collective; a public installation in New Yorkís "Winter Garden" in fall '02; a surround-sound composition for the 2002 Whitney Biennial; and a forthcoming DVD of original multi-channel compositions and video, produced with Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center in New York City. Other upcoming projects include a new sound installation for Diapason Gallery and an appearance at Quebec's MUTEK festival, with fellow turntablists Martin Tetreault, Otomo Yoshihide and Philip Jeck, in May.
