Presented by Soundstreams’ Encounters series, Composers Maziar Heidari, Saman Shahi and Keyan Emami from the Iranian Composers of Toronto (ICOT) will premiere a new 15-minute work for percussion quartet and electric guitar. Titled Stream of the Unconscious, this work delves into the mind of a displaced person: the ongoing identity battle of a refugee, the constant daydreaming of an immigrant, and their collective efforts to negotiate new meaning in the intersectionality of their lives.

Featuring: Richard Burrows, Yang Chen, Jamie Drake, Tim Francom (percussionists) and Andrew Noseworthy(electric guitar)
