Alan S. Tofighi

Alan S. Tofighi is an interdisciplinary artist from Valencia California whose work in the field of the composer/performer lies within an interest in free improvisation, concepts of collaboration, analog/electronic processes, and histories of audio culture/technology. Conceptualization, research, psychoacoustics, extended techniques, interaction, and listening techniques are often used to facilitate said works. Tofighi co-founded and maintained the Nouroboros Industrial Concern Imprint with Nouroboros from 2007-2017, and managed the NASA Space Universe from 2011-2016. As of 2017 Tofighi began operating the Flat Ledge Imprint.
