ASTA TUSHMAQ - Ekim 2013


Asta Tushmoq , çeşitli Öntürk lehçelerinde ''yavaşça süzülmek'' , ''aşka düşmek'' , ''kök tengriyi sevmek'' gibi çeşitli anlamlara gelen bir ifadedir.Yapıt ismini , biçimsel olarak agresif bir karakterden durağan bir karaktere doğru , hareket ettiği ses alanı olarakta inceden kalına doğru akan inici seyrinden alır.

Yapıttaki tınısal atmosfer ise , Orta Asya bölgesinde bir zamanlar sıkça görülen Baykuş , Papü ve Ebabil türündeki kuşların aynı anda öterek oluşturduğu , gözümüzü kapatıp dinlediğimizde tuhaf bir üflemeli çalgıyı çağrıştıran bir renk alaşımının hikayesidir.Bu üç kuş ağaçta karşılıklı ötüşürlerken , ötüşleri aynı ana denk geldiğinde çıkan aromadan inanılmaz bir keyif alırlar ve birbirlerinin kafa hareketlerini taklit ederek aynı anda  ortak bir seyir yakalarlar.Ancak yarattıkları bu garip ve gizemli sesten rahatsız olan biri vardır.Bazı geceler ekinlerin arasında kuyruğundan ateş saçarak koşuşturan korkunç tarla canavarı Haftor.Kahramanlarımız bir sorun olduğunu hissedip tedirgin bir bekleyişe bürünürlerken , Haftorun çivi gibi sesiyle aniden gelen saldırısıyla katlolunurlar.

Geriye bu gizemli ses yumağının rüzgarında yardımıyla süzülen , gökyüzündeki aroması kalır. 




ASTA TUSHMAQ – October 2013

In the Pre Turkish dialects ''Asta Tushmoq'' means gently descending, foaling in love, loving the Tengri ( the Shamanic God of the sky) and many more similar meanings.

The composition for Bass/Tenor recorder and Tenor voice is named ''Asta Tushmoq'' because of its descending formal structure from hıgh to low regısters as well as ıts character mooing from an aggressive to an ımperturbable atmosphere that recall some of the meanings of the word.The timbrel surroundings of the work is driven from the simultaneous singing birds of the central Asia such as owls,  Papus and Swifts that resambles a spooky wind instrument that makes up this composition.

While those three were singing together, they fall in love with each other’s harmony when they hit the very same spot in time but there is one character who was annoyed by their joy that is the field monster Haftor. He runs around in the dark by spouting flames from his tail and attacks on the birds and smash them. 

The aroma of their suite and mysterious singing remains in the air forever to be heard!

'Hectic', for male voice, recorders and tape - live recording by UMS 'n JIP

Hectic (2013, UMS 'n JIP)

I’m a gold-en fish in a globe, breathing eating swimming breathing eating breathing sleeping eating swimming eating breathing sleeping, breathing eating swimming breathing eating breathing sleeping eating swimming eating sleeping, eating sleeping eating sleeping eating eating eating, and one day I will be a shark!
(You are only a goldfish.)
Proud to be a goldfish playing hide and seek alone in waterweeds turning my belly up-side-down to pretend dead.

I'm a Goldfish in a Globe (for UMS n' JIP)

Unlike the collective flow of the work named "Asta Tushmaq" that was composed for the same ensemble a few years ago, Pollaples Roes (multiple flows) has a new approach in terms of the variety of coincidental interchanging compositional formal structure and an open work of distinguishing both performers in reversing tempo, time and unity.

The flexible unified formal structure is sometimes defined by the composer among a large selection of musical materials, sometimes selected by the performers of UMS n’ JIP,  Javier Hagen and Ulrike Mayer Spohn who are also composers using the given methods of building a form for the work in each performance.

The aim of the composer is to create a formally changing, contrasting and surprising work that has a rich and organic character that is meant to be unlike  another in each performance, considering the extreme instrumental and vocal musical abilities of the performers.
