The sounds of machines, destroyed pianos, warped 78 records, driving rhythms, sliding microtones, shifting industrial environments, twangy guitars, and junk percussion all play a part in her music. Her varied musical experiences as a composer, improviser, and performer have left a unique imprint on her work, which straddles the fence between strictly notated scores and improvised pieces. She divides her time between performing on piano and sampling keyboards with her own group and composing for chamber ensembles, creating work that ranges from solo sampler pieces to large-scale compositions for chamber orchestra. Much of Gosfield’s work explores the inherent beauty of non-musical sounds, and uses both acoustic and electronic instruments to create a sound world that strives to eliminate the boundaries between music and noise.
