Tahereh Nourani, composer and sound artist

Faster, act, produce, move—faster, faster, faster. And then we ask: what has this system done to our sense of time? Everything must be aligned, measured, productive. But what happens if you sit on a small boat on a lake and just wait— until the water becomes completely still? Then you begin to see the depth. You begin to see slowness. Maybe you begin to see yourself. This is where Archive of Futures begins. Tonight, we spoke about Archive of Futures, a project by sound artist and composer Tahereh Nourani—one that approaches the archive not as a place of the past, but as a space for imagination and possible futures. My guest was Tahereh Nourani, composer and sound artist, working with deep listening, minimalism, and sound as a way of thinking and feeling.
