Marina Rosenfeld is an artist, composer, and musician based in Brooklyn, New York. At the intersection of sound, performance, and visual art, her work has, for three decades, examined and redefined the fundamental conditions of sound and music.

Her exhibition and performance history includes solo works presented at the Park Avenue Armory, the Museum of Modern Art, Portikus, the Serralves Museum, the Holland Festival/Stedelijk Museum, and The Kitchen, as well as at the Gwangju, Whitney, Montréal, and Performa biennials, and at festivals and institutions throughout Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australia.

"Both my installation works and my performative works have often engaged highly resonant spaces - arsenals, railway halls, factories, warehouses and vast museum galleries - which present the specific challenge of controlling or exploiting the reflective and distorting properties produced by cavernous architectures. In these works I have also frequently explored the embodied, often dysphoric, experience of listening in a resonant space, placing the body of the listener (or the visitor, in the case of sound installations) at the center of a series of technologically mediated encounters with a sonic field, or three-dimensional acoustic volume.

The proposed work for organ and brass offers a new and compelling variation on a long-standing interest in the behavior of sound and its interaction with the listener, insofar as cathedrals and their organs are, by design, hyper-resonant and intended to produce a dazzling sonic effect. This effect will be explored further through a task-based score, allowing the creative musicians of Onceim to draw on their own listening expertise and embodied experience of sound in order to elaborate individual sonic events into increasingly complex configurations."
