From Bab'Aziz-Le Prince Qui Contemplait Son Ame (2005)

translated poem:

O day, arise
the atoms are dancing
thanks to him the universe is dancing 

The souls are dancing,
overcome with ecstasy 
i'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them

All the atoms in the air,
and in the desert know well they seem insane

Every single atom,
happy or miserable

Becomes enamored of the sun,
by which nothing can be said.

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī



Poem of the atoms - Armand Amar (Bab Aziz)

موسیقی فیلم مودیلیانی
آمادئو کلمنته مودیلیانی ، نقاش و مجسمه‌ساز برجسته یهودی‌تبار ایتالیایی بود.. شاخصه آثار مدرن او چهره های ماسک مانند پرتره هایی بود که درازی و لاغریشان اغراق شده بود.او در پاریس از مرض سل مننژیتی که نتیجهٔ فقر، کار بیش از حد و افراط در مصرف الکل و مواد مخدر بود، در ۳۵ سالگی درگذشت.
هنگامی که مودیلیانی دوران نقاهتش را در کاپری می گذراند، در نامه ای برای اسکار گی لیا نوشت،  :دوست عزیزم , من مینویسم تا خودم بر تو نمایان سازم و خودم را نیز به خودم ثابت کنم. من قربانی نیروی عظیمی هستم که میخروشد و سپس متلاشی می‌شود... امروز یک بورژوا به من گفت – به من توهین کرد - که خودم یا حداقل مغزم بسیار تنبل است. این برای من خوب بود. خوب است این گونه اخطارها را هر صبح به هنگام برخاستن بشنوم:اما ایشان نه می‌توانند ما را بفهمند و نه زندگی را...

On September 27th, 2020 a war was started in my homeland. Since the beginning, the war has changed countless lives and terminated numerous ones. The war continues to do so to this day. I would like to devote this song to the fathers who didn't get to hold their babies, and to the mothers who didn't get to hold their sons.

The word օրօր (“oror”) meaning “lullaby” in Armenian comes from the root word օր (“or”) meaning “to move”, mirroring the endless back-and-forth motion of the rocking cradle. Armenian folk lullabies have been transmitted orally from one generation to another in a range of local dialects. They are full of historical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic information." - Nairi Khatchadourian, "aha collective"

Oror - Miqayel Voskanyan

Miqayel Voskanyan is an Armenian tar prodigy, musician, composer, songwriter, and producer known for pushing the boundaries of traditional Armenian music. 

He began singing folk music at age three, and began playing the tar at age nine while attending a musical school in Yerevan. Voskanyan studied music for seven years and was trained in the style of classical Armenian music, Middle Eastern and Eastern melodies, as well as traditional folk. He was part of the Children’s Philharmonic Orchestra of Yerevan from the ages of 1996 to 2002, where it became evident that Voskanyan’s true life calling was music.

Voskanyan was part of the Armenian State Orchestra of National Instruments for over a decade starting in 2004, where he began experimenting with the traditional Armenian instrument.
 He graduated from Yerevan State University in 2008, with a degree in Art History, while simultaneously attending special music courses at the Yerevan State Conservatory. During his time spent studying music theory and influenced heavily by jazz and world music, Voskanyan began improvising on the centuries-old tar.

 A lover of musical experimentation, Voskanyan refused to allow the conventions of Armenian folk music to limit and control his music. 

He formed MVF Band in 2011, an instrumental folk-jazz band that consisted of four other talented musician friends. Voskanyan composed the majority of MVF Band’s original music, and produced the two albums that the band released. MVF Band’s music-fusing sound gained critical acclaim, both in Armenian and international music circles. 

Voskanyan’s musical talent and ability is evident in the variety of genres he has collaborated in, performing and recording with musicians from the worlds of folk, jazz, classical, experimental, electronic, world, pop, and rock. In 2015, he performed his original composition “Lusine” with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra in Paris, France, at the historic UNESCO Heritage. That same year, Voskanyan was invited to perform at the Moscow International Performing Arts Center.

In 2017, Voskanyan founded Oberton Music Company and Oberton Records independent label, a collective committed to the idea that music carries the ability to revive and revitalize people. 
He held a solo concert in Paris at the Luxor Palais du cinema in 2018. 
Later that year, Voskanyan was invited to perform and give a workshop at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival dedicated to Armenian art and music in Washington, D.C.

He has traveled to concerts and participated in projects in Sweden, Italy, France, Finland, Germany, China, Jordan, South Korea, Croatia, Poland, Georgia, Russia, Egypt, Turkey, the UAE, Canada, and America.
