Multilayered narratives populated by an ensemble of sonic entities, some smug, some shy, some agitators, others ready to surrender.

Rashad Becker is a composer and musician residing in Berlin. His compositions are multilayered narratives populated by an ensemble of sonic entities, some smug, some shy, some agitators, others ready to surrender. Often there's a tragic-comical touch, like a cartoon version of what could be a requiem from a dream (or just as much a fertility dance from another dimension). Recent works include the cycle \*Traditional Music Of Notional Species\* released across two volumes on PAN, and the multi-part work \*Based On A True Story\* that derives scores from historical occurrences in a sort of 'sonic staging'. In this context, he is currently commissioned by New York-based ensemble Alarm Will Sound and Berlin string ensemble Kaleidoskop. Rashad is mainly active as a solo artist but finds himself in a series of permanent collaborations alongside Eli Keszler, Moritz von Oswald and as a member of the formation Moleglove. Other and more sporadic collaborators have been Okkyung Lee, Andre Vida, Ashley Paul, and Valerio Tricoli. \* \[bandcamp]\(\[Bandcamp]\(https://rashadbecker.bandcamp.com))
