Prelude

Following the introspective tones of previously released singles “Tomorrow, I'll be Fine” and “Somewhere Beyond the Sea,” "Acacia" continues to expand Tarçın's versatile musical palette. This piece gently weaves together intimate piano keys and textured strings, reflecting on the subtle beauty and resilience found in life's quiet moments of realization.

“The inspiration for 'Acacia' comes from a white acacia tree partially visible from my studio’s garden. Whenever I step outside for fresh air, my gaze invariably finds this tree. Watching it transition through the seasons — its branches lush green and blooming with white flowers, shedding leaves, bearing winter’s snow, and blossoming anew — has mirrored the cycles of life itself. It’s a kind of reminder to me that some of life’s profound truths are right before our eyes. This piece was born from these reflections. The cover photograph shows the tree itself, capturing one of its beautiful moments.” says Onur.

The Acceptance Cycle:

This is a bit easier to write about as it’s essentially a conclusion to The Sound of Someone Leaving album. That album was about loss in many of its forms. 'The Acceptance Cycle' (like its title suggests) is about the cycle you go through in reaching acceptance. The final track (Cycle Seven) has an element of acceptance about it, with the preceding six tracks taking the listener through a range of emotions before reaching that final place- with the Title track setting the scene at the start. To sum this one up- it’s an expressive outpouring of emotions that come after a shock or traumatic event (The Sound of Someone Leaving) which eventually leads you to a place of peace and acceptance. The two pieces are connected- but it’s hard to say how, it’s more of a feeling, like one is ‘discovered’ almost by surprise after listening to the other.

Widening Circles

Graham Reynolds loves to explore narrative in his work. This tendency makes him a natural fit for the film, theater and dance work that form one of the cores to his composing career. In fusing a loose concerto format with the story of Charles Babbage and his invention the difference engine, Reynolds' composing voice finds itself in a work that is intense and driving, beautiful and intimate, personally expressive and broadly accessible all at the same time. Developed over a course of years, the initial ideas for each movement were introduced and inspired separately before being woven into this one piece.

The musical onslaught of the opening movement came to Reynolds during a lecture by LB Deyo on Babbage and his work, inspired by the ferocious pace of both Babbage's thinking and the calculating speed of his invention. The fourth movement was developed in a very different form for the Rude Mechs play "The Method Gun", now touring the country. The fifth movement started as a solo piano piece, an Austin Museum of Art commission, in response to the work of Sol Lewitt. Reynolds joins other alt-classical voices in a 21st century approach that is no longer in rebellion against tonality and melody, nor desperate to prove their validity through focus on a "unique" extended technique, while folding 20th century ideas from clusters to modal harmonies to polyrhythms into a broad vocabulary.

The completed concerto "The Difference Engine" premiered on February 6th, 2010 with a 35-piece string orchestra in a Golden Hornet Project performance at Ballet Austin’s Austin Ventures Studio Theater. Soloists Leah Zeger on violin, Jonathan Dexter on cello, and the composer himself on piano fronted the debut, with parts written specifically for their skill set and personal voices. Those voices were then captured for this CD. Not fully realized in his lifetime, the difference engine was the masterwork of 19th century inventor and mathematician Charles Babbage, an attempt to create the world's first computer. A remix of each movement forms the album's second half with contributions from DJ Spooky, Octopus Project, Grammy-nominated producer Adrian Quesada of Grupo Fantasma, Golden Hornet Project's Peter Stopschinski, and finally one from the composer himself.

That's a piano piece totally improvised, I just sat on the piano and play what spontaneously came out. No sheet music, preparation, or forethought. Just spontaneous composition, in one take. No edit. This is why you may hear some "mistakes" but as Thelonious Monk said: “The piano ain't got no wrong notes.” ;-)
I made it as part of the Piano Journal experimentation, a project created by Jason Dzamba: www.thepianojournal.com
