"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”

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.

A comet fell from the sky, shattered our world apart,
In the silence of the night, it broke every heart.
Now we’re scattered like stars, drifting in the void,
Lonely echoes of the past, memories destroyed.
