Score Samples

Marina Rosenfeld is an artist and composer based in New York City.  She has been a member of the Music/Sound faculty of the Milton Avery School of the Arts at Bard College since 2003. Marina initiated a decade-long engagement with composition, improvisation, performance and situational aesthetic practices in 1994 with her now-notorious “Sheer Frost Orchestra”, a performance realized by 17 women on floor-bound electric guitars, deploying nail-polish bottles as sensitive and magical sound-producing implements.  Rosenfeld continues to mount large-scale ensemble works scored for custom instrumentation, such as her “Emotional Orchestra” and “WHITE LINES”. 

Marina performs frequently in the U.S., Canada and Europe as a turn-tablist, spinning original dub plates.  She’s performed with leading contemporary artists, including the Merce Cunningham Company, Sonic Youth, Christian Marclay, George Lewis, and Ikue Mori, to name a few.  Her work has appeared in a wide variety of contexts, including the Whitney Museum, Tate Modern, Donaueschingen, Ars Electronica, Maerz Musik, Mutek, Wein Modern, and Taktlos Bern.  Her most recent release is “joy of fear”.
