Saxophonist Nat Birchall extends his mission to cherish the legacy of John Coltrane with his most impassioned devotional display on record so far. Birchall goes straight to the heart of Coltrane's music – concentrating on sonic textures, overtones, nuances and moods, rather than the exhaustive studies of modes and scales from which the master built his unique language.

PROGRAM NOTE (2016)
I have composed this music for the innocent civilians that were murdered in the bombings that took place in Suruc, Ankara and Istanbul. In the work, piano creates a percussive and noisy sound world through the usage of different materials prepared inside the instrument. The rhytmical transformation and development of piano is also guided by certain sound recordings.

PS: For a richer listening experience headphones are suggested.



PROGRAM NOTU (2016)
Müziğimi Suruç, Ankara ve İstanbul'da gerçekleştirilen bombalı saldırılarda katledilen masum insanlarımızın anısına yazdım. Eserde piyano, çeşitli malzemelerle hazırlanarak, perküsif ve gürültülü bir tını dünyası oluşturuyor. Ayrıca kullanılan bazı ses kayıtları piyanonun eser içinde dönüştüğü ve geliştiği ritmik sürece rehberlik ediyor.

NOT: Daha verimli bir dinleme için kulaklık kullanmanız önerilir.

PREMIERE
Piano: Aksel Başaran
