The Gardener Of Eden calls in to DJ Helga's pirate radio show

Dj Helga, Sveriges Radio, clip

Première of the aria from new work-in-progress '1000 Songs' inspired by the Armenian folktale 'The Nightingale of A Thousand Songs'
Ziazan - librettist, performer
Cevanne Horrocks-Hopayian - composer, additional libretto

"In a dystopian near-future, a traumatised woman has lost the power to speak. A scientist persecuted for her beliefs, she finds herself in exile with only a caged nightingale for company. As isolation sets in and reality slips away, she believes herself to be an enchantress in an ancient folk tale."

Performed by Ziazan for In Tune, BBC Radio 3, 14.08.18

1000 Songs Aria

This is where I upload work in progress! My published albums are distributed by other streaming platforms but this is the only place you can hear live recordings of premieres, and snippets of ideas before they become full compositions.
