Show Notes
The Iranian-American composer, vocalist, performance artist, and activist in a conversation illustrated with a 1986 formative performance at Roulette with longtime partner, multi-instrumentalist Richard Horowitz. Deyhim's journey from an early passion for Persian dance and music to a globally recognized concert performer and associations with artists from Arto Lindsay and Shirin Neshat to Ornette Coleman and U2 is a remarkable story. The work--including recordings, film scores, installations, opera, performance art, and collaborations--is faithful to her fertile, evolving cross-cultural roots.
