ModusModus. Vinilininkė Shiva FesharekiBritanijoje gyvenanti iranietė Shiva Feshareki (g. 1987) garsėja kaip vinilo virtuozė (turntablist), kurianti keistas kompozicijas, kuriose susilieja jos pačios ir įvairi kitokia muzika, dažniausiai apdorota elektroniškai. Gyvuose atlikimuose kompozitorė manipuliuoja iš anksto įrašyta ir vietoje generuojama muzika, naudodama patefonus, stiprinimo ir aido efektus bei įvairiausias garso transformacijas. Jos kūryba žengia į anksčiau mažai tyrinėtą zoną, kurioje naujai įprasminamos žanro, stiliaus ir istorinės kategorijos.Laidos autoriai Mindaugas Urbaitis ir Šarūnas Nakas

Relevant TonesDaphne Oram's Still PointIn 1949 a 23-year old composer named Daphne Oram wrote a pioneering new work for two orchestras, live electronics and turntables that was subsequently lost for decades.
Only vague references survived until composer and archivist James Bulley rediscovered the complete score in 2015. He enlisted composer and turntable artist Shiva Feshareki to help him realize the electronics using the technology that would have been available to Oram.
In 2018 the work was finally premiered at the BBC Proms. It was the first work of its kind and it is a masterpiece.
