Every time I listen to that piece, I want that it never ends! Very strong imagination - like in other pieces of the same composer - combined with exquisitely fine instrumentation. For the accomplished performance, thanks all the ensemble members as well as the tonmeister Deniz Aslan.

• Program Notes:
It is in the pursuit of a resilient catalyst spark,
one that will transcend the unsound cyclic nature of uncertainty,
that the afterlight reveals a retaliating barrenness adorned with thorns.
(responsorial)
Bottomless mudcracks penetrate the viscera of the imagined world. 
Yet, in absence, life treads forwards, whispers rise as unwavering chants.
The beauty of the scorched land lies in the abundance of juxtaposed 
impossibilities.
Still, the soul wanders amidst harsh epiphanies that unfold their coarse
truth.
Fate, for now, is adjourned.

Palimpsest

Emre Eröz (b.1995, Ankara, Turkey) is a composer, whose works focus on the potential of complex sounds coordinately inspired by different genres and contemporary art forms, building friction amongst the textures. He is trying to create sonic narrations in his works and to discover different timbre possibilities, which derive from a single musical material or any found sonority. He began music by playing e-guitar at an early age then played in rock and jazz bands before taking up composition. 

He had the opportunity to work with many ensembles and soloists including Tokyo Sinfonietta, Spektral Quartet, Oerknal Ensemble, Pre-Art Soloists, Hezarfen Ensemble, International Ensemble Modern Academy, Garth Knox, and Diamanda La Berge Dramm, Black Pencil among others. In 2022, his piece “Palimpsest” was chosen to be performed in Sevilla by Taller Sonoro as a part of Discovering Young Composers Project and his String Quartet was played by Tokyo Sinfonietta to be broadcasted by NHK. His recent projects include a e-guitar, trombone duo commissioned by Supernoava (Basel) and a duo for saxophone-trombone commissioned by Duo Signal (Basel) to be performed on a Swiss tour. He was awarded first prize in the ISCM 16th Sun River Prize Students New Music Composition Competition 2020 (China) with his “String Quartet", and second prize in the 11th Pre-art Competition for Young Composers 2019 (Switzerland) for ensemble piece “Amnesia”. He was selected to participate in 2020 Taproot New Music Festival at UC Davis (USA) and his music was premiered by Chicago-based Spektral Quartet. Research-based quartet piece “Adsum", which is commissioned by NK Ensemble and aims to combine Turkish-Western music instruments, has released by Bilgi Label in the album project "Lahza" on streaming platforms in 2019. 

He also participated in various workshops and worked with Clara Iannotta, Beat Furrer, Pierluigi Billone, Mark Andre, Bruno Mantovani, Eun-Hwa Cho, Ken Ueno, Ulrich Kreppein, Collegium Novum Zurich. He is pursuing his graduate studies at Conservatoire de Paris in Composition with Stefano Gervasoni and electronic music with Yan Maresz, Luis Naón, and Grégoire Lorieux. He holds his B.A. degree in Music Theory and Composition from Bilkent University Faculty of Music and Performing Arts and studied various subjects including composition, orchestration and aesthetic with Yigit Aydin.

He received support by the Fondation de France as well as the Meyer Foundation.
