Serenity in Bach

English Suite No.3 in G-, BWV808 - Courante

“memories of a stone skipping the skin of the Water on the Lake” is about the repetition of a still image that moves in the memories of the mind. There are five versions of this musical single memory, each one being different from the others; and the difference is due to repetition, since transformation occurs through repetition.

This piece intends to experiment with internal and aural perception of time, the idea of being in sync, and trying to be in sync, aurally and internally. 

* This piece was composed for the Composer Conference Ensemble, as part of the Fromm Fellow Composer Conference Festival 2021

Meierkord Improvisation I

Schneeland contains two parts: the first four tracks deal with snowfall, the following four with the landscape it forms.

The titles have been kept in simple Roman numbers, so that the songs may develop without having been given a name - much like a landscape, which doesn‘t need words to be discerned.

Words are for communication - but Schneeland is an hommage to introspection through isolation.

The artist recommends listening to the album when alone, so the listener gets as close as possible to his original perception of his description of vastness and transience.
In this way one gets in touch with the emotional states that are more easily accessible in the silence of winter time.

Solo Con Te (Handel)

Soprano, Felicia Chen
electronics, Bahar Royaee

Kitchen, is the result of a close collaboration with vocalist Felicia Chen.

Based on a well-known lullaby from northwest Iran, the composer deconstructs and reconstructs the folktune, moving through exploration of phonemes derived from the text, resonance space, vowel filters, and speed of airflow. Royaee supplements the lullaby with recorded sounds from a kitchen, which is an important place of family gathering in Iran. The composer envisions her mother sitting in her kitchen in Iran, thinking of her daughter. 
The text is derived from a poetry by Yadollah Royaee, who has a collection of poetries, all depicting various tombstones, for different people. The selected poetry was written for his best friends and the most famous female contemporary poet in Iran, Fourth Farrokhzad. Yadollah royaee is in exile.

“With every step of yours, I become divorced from the soil. One sip of the loam, and plowing is reminiscent of the horizon.

	با هر قدم تو از خاک دور میشوم،
یک جرعه خاک،
و شخم،
دلتنگ افق میشد.

Kitchen| for soprano, fixed media and live electronics

Voici ma reprise d'une chanson de Benjamin Biolay : Ton Héritage

Paroles :

Si tu aimes les soirs de pluie
Mon enfant, mon enfant
Les ruelles de l'Italie
Et les pas des passants
Éternelle litanie
Des feuilles mortes dans le vent
Qui poussent un dernier cri
Crie mon enfant

Si tu aimes les éclaircies
Mon enfant, mon enfant
Prendre un bain de minuit
Dans le grand océan
Si tu aimes la mauvaise vie
Ton reflet dans l'étang
Si tu veux tes amis
Près de toi tout le temps

Si tu pries quand la nuit tombe
Mon enfant, mon enfant
Si tu ne fleuris pas les tombes
Mais chéris les absents
Si tu as peur de la bombe
Et du ciel trop grand
Si tu parles à ton ombre
De temps en temps

Si tu aimes la marée basse
Mon enfant, mon enfant
Le soleil sur la terrasse
Et la lune sous le vent
Si l'on perd souvent ta trace
Dès qu' arrive le printemps
Si la vie te dépasse
Passe mon enfant

Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ton héritage
Et ça sera pire encore
Quand tu auras mon âge
Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ta chair, ton sang
Il va falloir faire avec
Ou plutôt sans

Si tu oublies les prénoms
Les adresses et les âges
Mais presque jamais le son
D'une voix, un visage
Si tu aimes ce qui est bon
Si tu vois des mirages
Si tu préfères Paris
Quand vient l'orage

Si tu aimes les goûts amers
Et les hivers tout blancs
Si tu aimes les derniers verres
Et les mystères troublants
Si tu aimes sentir la terre
Et jaillir le volcan
Si tu as peur du vide
Vide mon enfant

Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ton héritage
Et ça sera pire encore
Quand tu auras mon âge
Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ta chair, ton sang
Il va falloir faire avec
Ou plutôt sans

Si tu aimes partir avant
Mon enfant, mon enfant
Avant que l'autre s'éveille
Avant qu'il te laisse en plan
Si as peur du sommeil
Et que passe le temps
Si tu aimes l'automne vermeil
Merveille rouge sang

Si tu as peur de la foule
Mais supportes les gens
Si tes idéaux s'écroulent
Le soir de tes 20 ans
Et si tout se déroule
Jamais comme dans tes plans
Si tu n'es qu'une pierre qui roule
Roule mon enfant

Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ton héritage
Et ça sera pire encore
Quand tu auras mon âge
Ça n'est pas ta faute
C'est ta chair, ton sang
Il va falloir faire avec
Ou plutôt sans

Mon enfant... Mon enfant
