About the track Trees Of Peace:
The third chapter is Trees of Peace which was the first single released on 13 January 2023. The track longs for the past but connects to the future with shamisen-like chords, wooden and wistful drums, and oriental synths.

“The track Trees Of Peace is about our ancestral memories in the past and future. Just as trees are connected through an underground network we are connected in a transcendental way as well.” The Allegorist

The Tale of TEKHENU, for the seekers
Written by The Allegorist 

Born in the fast-moving river, she was part of it. The river didn’t cause her to be who she was, but it was her origin in this life. She could have stayed, but a beat in her heart made her fingers tremble; a longing in her spirit for life and a driving force in her mind called her by her name. And so she left to risk, live, explore, and follow the invisible.

Today, in the deep silence of the cold midnight, she couldn’t fall asleep. It was all the effort of the journey that kept her awake. Gray fog lay heavy on her mind. Resting her head on a stone with her legs tucked up, her heart was beating in pain, and her limbs felt heavy and tired. All those years spent walking thousands of miles through deserts and winds, climbing up mountains and swimming through seas, learning where to take turns, how to read meanings in the stars, studying maps of various cultures, seeking knowledge of all kinds, and still, now, she was lost.

Dreaming of answers within her, she woke in the light of tomorrow, and between the trees on the little meadow wet with dew, the first rays of spring’s sun beamed through.

'Dawn Chorus, que l’on peut traduire par « le chœur de l’aube », désigne ce moment du début de journée où les oiseaux se mettent à chanter. Dans Dawn Chorus, Didem Coskunseven mêle à nouveau ses goût et intérêt personnels pour le jazz modal avec une électronique à l’esthétique contemporaine, soulignant la joie simple qu’il y a à écouter de la musique – que l’on pourrait tout aussi bien appeler le duende. El duende désigne en effet le pouvoir d’envoûtement et d’évocation de l’art : il trouve sa source au plus profond de notre être en tant que réponse physique ou émotionnelle à la réception d’une œuvre. C’est ce qui fait naître le frisson, ce qui fait sourire ou pleurer, en tant que réaction charnelle à une performance artistique particulièrement expressive. Le concept donna naissance à une théorie développée par Federico Garcia Lorca.
Cependant, ce qui intéresse Didem Coşkunseven dans Dawn Chorus est moins le duende en lui-même que ce frisson d’enchantement suscité par l’acte « d’écouter de la musique » en concert. Elle aspire ainsi à créer un « état d’émotion exacerbé », dont nous pourrions faire l’expérience collectivement ; une expérience qui serait plongée dans l’espace performatif'
