A Murmur

The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...

Improv 8 - Lullaby for the Benches

❄️ Still, Gyeongbok Palace (Carols in Snowy Silence)

The 'Still, Gyeongbok Palace' album began with a single question: "What would a Christmas carol sound like echoing through Gyeongbok Palace during the first snow?" This album is a unique collection of 'Gugak Jazz Carols,' blending warm Western Christmas melodies with the quiet, elegant winter sentiment of Korea. It offers a mystical experience, as if familiar carols are resonating from beneath the snow-covered eaves of an ancient palace.

This album boldly omits drums and bass. Instead, it weaves the clear resonance of the Gayageum (zither), the breathy notes of the Daegeum (flute), and the soulful melody of the Haegeum (two-string fiddle) over a foundation of warm jazz piano chords. The minimal and lyrical arrangements maximize the sacred and peaceful atmosphere of original carols like 'Silent Night' and 'In the Bleak Midwinter.' You will experience a quiet, clear soundscape where you can almost hear the soft piling of the snow.

This album is a gift for those seeking calm, deep relaxation instead of loud party music this holiday season. It is the perfect BGM for the emotional moment of the first snow, quiet contemplation on a winter night, or a time of peaceful meditation. Discover the most Korean, yet uniquely exotic, healing music that the 'Still,' series has to offer.
