kristy farkas [and so on...]

Kristy Farkas likes to make things....sound, music, poetry, clothing, paintings, photographs, gardens, banana bread.
She studied piano and music composition at Wilfrid Laurier University and received a Masters degree in composition from the University of Victoria.
Kristy has performed in Canada and Japan and her works have been presented by Toronto’s Arraymusic, Open Space in Victoria, Vancouver New Music, the Music Gallery in Vancouver, the Vancouver Chinese Music Ensemble, Ensemble Symposium and Continuum. She is a founding member of the ensemble, CURV (with Jennifer Butler and Marci Rabe), a trio dedicated to the composition and performance of new experimental works in alternative venues, and is performing regularly with the composer-performer collective, LaSaM.
Kristy’s music combines both electronic and acoustic elements with performances that often include film, theatre, dance, and painting. The concert space and ‘choreography’ of the performers, as well as the performer-to-audience relationship is strongly considered during the creation and performance of her works. Kristy’s intuitive approach to writing is highly focussed on timbre and the intricacies of sound.
She is currently living and making sound in Victoria, BC, Canada.
