While she's not averse to electronica, and her musical vision occasionally finds her in trio company with digital-improv figures Kurzmann and Kaffe Matthews, Rosenfeld distances herself cautiously from the laptop and desktop brigades. Machines are fun, but technology turns into a boring orthodoxy when you believe that certain sounds can only be made one way. That's not true. Sounds are like the Wizard of Oz hiding behind his big curtain, and that's what makes them great. Recorded sounds move around, from medium to medium.
Samples are travelers.
I like to move things around. I also take 3-D photographs, which I like because they remind me of DJing. Multiple negatives add up to a single, blurred-out or mobile image. Among her most provocative projects is the Sheer Frost Orchestra. Rosenfeld assembles a 17-woman ensemble.
