"UNSAFE (AT ANY SPEED) by Roshanne Etezady , bursts with kinetic post-process drive in its outer sections while magically transforming this jittery basis material into warm, pulsating, atmospheric music at its center.   Here is a fine composition that merits several hearings."

Hailed by the Detroit Free Press as “a promising and confident composer,” Roshanne Etezady (hear it pronounced!) is emerging as one of the most dynamic musical voices of her generation. Her music ranges from clever and colorful to sublimely subdued; it combines lyricism with rhythmic intensity and engages performers and audiences alike.

Etezady's works have been commissioned by the Albany Symphony, Dartmouth Symphony, eighth blackbird, Music at the Anthology, and the PRISM Saxophone Quartet. She has been a fellow at the Aspen Music Festival, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Performers and ensembles including Relache, Amadinda Percussion Ensemble, Ensemble De Ereprijs, and the Dogs of Desire have performed Etezady’s music throughout the United States and Europe.

Roshanne Etezady’s music has earned recognition from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Korean Society of 21st Century Music, the Jacob K. Javits Foundation, Meet the Composer, and ASCAP.
