Dr Hadi Bastani BA, MA, PhD

Independent Researcher

Hadi Bastani is a sound artist, anthropologist, and electroacoustic composer. His work examines relationships between creative practice in sound, developments in digital technology, processes of sociality, and notions of spatiality. His interdisciplinary investigation of the experimental electronic music scene in Iran has formed the first comprehensive research of the scene within academia. His broader academic work engages with aesthetics and politics of material flows of cultural production, with an emphasis on the unique capacity of sound-based ethnography and spatial composition. As an artist, he works with computers, synthesizers, microphones, and transducers in the context of electroacoustic compositions; improvised performances; site-specific, immersive, and interactive installations.
