Sarah Davachi

Sarah Davachi (b. 1987, Canada) is primarily concerned with disclosing the delicate psychoacoustics of intimate aural spaces, utilizing extended durations and simple harmonic structures that emphasize subtle variations in overtone complexity, temperament and intonation, and natural resonances. Similarly informed by minimalist tenets of the 1960s and 1970s, baroque leanings toward slow-moving chordal suspensions, and experimental production practices of the studio environment, her sound manifests an experience that lessens apprehension of consonance and dissonance in likeness of the familiar and the distant. As a composer and performer of electroacoustic music, Davachi presents a solo program that continues the museum’s ongoing commitment to presenting extraordinary, forward-looking, and unclassifiable artists in the intimate and vibrant acoustic of the Transformer Station.
