This is a rough recording of my flute ensemble piece Reera, kindly performed and recorded each part separately in a very short amount of time by Rarescale flute ensemble (5-6 members of the ensemble).

Reera

“Korsoo” in Persian means glimmer or a small sign of something such as hope, understanding or light. As our environment is going to be destroyed, many programs are made about global warming and urban pollution by Persian radio stations.When I was in a taxi in Tehran, I was listening to one of these programs, and I thought it is a great idea that I compose a piece based on this controversial subject. Moreover, I used the sound of this conversation and some electronic sounds for the fixed media.

Since 2018, he has been learning Electronic Composition with Kiavasch Saheb-Nasagh. Some of his activities include sound designing for stage performances and a number of private performances (accompanied by painting and storytelling)". He has also participated in online masterclasses of Sarah Bellereid and Lorenzo Levy. He is currently designing the interface for some future performances.

Noise à Noise is by definition a truly independent and artist-run label and community for experimental and noise music artists. The label have so far published more than a dozen of compilation albums so far (quarterly since 2019, double disk albums for some seasons) in addition to host a small roster of artist albums regardless of all the negative impacts of COVID-19 on human lives during its outspread.

"Serhat’s work has long been characterized by what it  rejects: global biennials that turn artists and their work  into emblems of the exotic; the promotion of tourism that  does the same to a country’s citizens; the establishment  of economic bonds between nations by and for their elites, under the guise of what he calls “dialogue fetishism.” Beğenal, a program of concerts, video screenings, performances, and political theatrics shadowing Istanbul Biennial, is the latest project to take up these criticisms. Pronounced almost like “biennial,”  beğenal is Turkish for “if you like it, buy it”; the project’s  logo is a man-as-red-star caricature vomiting up various  corporate-style logos, responding to the biennial’s slogan — courtesy of Brecht: “What Keeps Mankind Alive?” — with “This Is How Mankind Pukes!” But Serhat  is no mere refusenik. For the last year, he has been spearheading the International Roaming Biennial of Tehran, a nomadic exhibition of work that has traveled to Berlin, Istanbul, and Belgrade .. The biennial’s inaugural theme is Urban Jealousy. During a trip to Tehran in 2001, while he was working on the soundtrack to a documentary called Tehran”

post orientalism music
Post-Orientalism is a term coined by the Composer and music theorist Ehsan Saboohi to describe a music language for analyzing the aesthetics of his and his colleagues’ compositions. Saboohi defines this language as follows:
“Post-Orientalism is a modern music language that uses microtonal sounds and intervals alongside altered sound chain and block structures to achieve a post-orientalism musical piece in different acoustic and electroacoustic compositions.”
Ehsan Saboohi, in his third composition period, is looking for a different language of common Contemporary Classical music trends by taking inspiration from the philosophical-social ideas of the famous philosopher Edward Said (1935-2003).

Saz-e Shekaste (broken instrument) Live 07 Roma (improvisation)

The new music and sound performance by Ali Ostovar explores working with objects associated with his memories from the past, especially in relation to his childhood memories with his father in his native Iran. The title of the performance refers to a song of the same name by Delkash, one of the iconic singers of the 1940s–1960s in Iran. Ali listened to many Iranian songs at home during childhood, as his father was fascinated with listening to and playing traditional music. The title also refers to his life story of carrying a broken Iranian setar around Europe for more than 12 years to find someone who could fix it; he still kept it even after buying a new one.
At the performance, he will play approximately 60 minutes of live-electronic music using his laptop, a few cassette players, a synthesizer, and possibly other instruments, questioning what it means to bring the past into the present or keep it there. Does the past consist only of what we remember? And what about what we don’t remember?
He recreates personal memories by selecting different sound materials, using sonic metaphors and transculturation, and playing with time, frequencies, and transformation.

I composed this piece based on a poem, and I incorporated the poetic atmosphere into the composition.

گردباد که آمد
همه چیز را با خود برد
جز درخت یادت
که ریشه در زمین داشت.


When the tornado came,
It took everything with itself,
Except for the tree of your memory,
Which had its roots in the ground.

Form:

In this piece, the form is theme and variations. This piece has a duration of 231 seconds, which is three minutes and fifty-one seconds. I used the abjad system for a Persian word from the poem " گردباد," which means tornado, for this duration. An abjad is a system of notation in which each letter of the Arabic alphabet is assigned a numerical value.
