Mariam Rezaei is a multi-award-winning composer, and performer. She previously led experimental arts project TOPH, TUSK FRINGE and TUSK NORTH, and in November2022, she received the Paul Hamlyn Foundation #AwardsForArtists, in recognition of her contribution to music composition. Her music has recently been described as ‘genuinely ground-breaking’ (London Jazz News 2022) and ‘high-velocity sonic surrealism’ (4* The Guardian 2022).
Recent release BOWN(Heat Crimes) charted no.6 in The Wire and no.10 in The Quietus ‘best albums of 2023 and was The Quietus album of the week. Boomkat described it as ‘harnessing extreme technical prowess-phenomenal stuff’.
