Austin Larkin, solo violin

Zeynep Toraman's practice-based research explores the ways in which texts (in the broadest sense of this word) can interact with one another within the larger framework of musical compositions, by way of thinking of her own library as an archive, and enfolding autobiography, poetry, fiction and history within her works.

Austin Larkin's solo violin work stems from the physicality of the violin, a language of gesture unfolded in the shared space of the listener, conferring an intense gravity within performance. Preferring the experience of acoustic sound, the directness of these interlacing gestures carry the energy of its materialization.
