Marja Ahti discusses her compositional practice as a way of exploring the world, tracing her philosophy of listening and connection through recent solo and collaborative works, including Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth, which she premieres in Saturday’s concert, as well as Tender Membranes (2023), A Coincidence is Perfect, Intimate Attunement, with Judith Hamann (2022) and Still Lives (2021). Marja reviews the interplay of chance and intent in her music, the poetry of ordinary sounds, and her use of electronic and instrumental timbres and tunings.
