Negar Soley is an Iranian composer, vocalist, and interdisciplinary artist whose work explores multiplicity, memory, and the emotional landscapes of everyday life. Drawing from field recordings, improvisation, poetry, and the physicality of performance, her music moves between delicacy and intensity, guided by an interest in breaking containment and revealing the different selves that coexist within a single voice. She recently completed her studies at Wesleyan University, where she integrated pre-recorded materials, improvisation, and embodied performance, influenced by courses and faculty in experimental music, improvisation, and electronic music—especially SuperCollider—as well as her experiences in vocal and piano practice and her research into Morton Feldman, Frank O’Hara, and the expressive possibilities of quietness and multiplicity. In addition, deeply inspired by the textures of everyday life in Tehran, her hometown, she has navigated complex emotions of vulnerability, shame, and self-discovery through her field recordings. Currently residing in Philadelphia, she continues to work on composition projects and commissions while maintaining an active composer-performer practice.
