New Music Unlisted - 8 (Kitaptan Sonra)

I composed this piece for Chinabot 4th anniversary and performed it at Cafe OTO in London in July 2021. 
This piece was influenced by the recent lockdowns. During the lockdown I gradually felt that the walls of my room were getting thicker and closer to me. Thus I made a wall of overtones that is gradually getting louder and more prominent than the other sounds in the piece. Of course everything was
happening in my mind so other sounds on the electronic part represented what was happening in my mind, either as a conversation or just repetitive thoughts. The live qanun represented me sitting in my room surrounded by these walls trying to fight with these feelings and thoughts in my mind.

Every single sound in this piece's taken from my instrument (qanun).

"Crystallum" is a journey into the depth of the sounds by investigating the internal and invisible relationships of their inner components and the complex network of their nature. 
The piece is structured on the relationship and the mapping of all the possible natural harmonic nodes on the strings of each independent instrument of a string quartet. 

"Crystallum" is a compositional kaleidoscope of networks, organized with sounds in several levels and categories and pictured from different angles.

"Crystallum" is the thin thread between the past and the present, orient and occident, Maqam/Adwar system and Just Intonation music and inspired by the nomadology concept of Gilles Deleuze.

Commissioned by NeoQuartet. World premiere on 29th October 2021, at 10. NeoArte Synthesizer of Arts Festival Gdansk, Poland.
