بداهه نوازی بر شعر فروغ فرخزاد با پیانوی من و صدای مسعود نیک نفس - زمستان ۱۳۹۷ / تفلیس



ای ستاره ها که بر فراز آسمان
با نگاه خود اشاره گر نشسته اید
ای ستاره ها که از ورای ابرها
بر جهان نظاره گر نشسته اید

آری این منم که در دل سکوت شب
نامه های عاشقانه پاره می کنم
ای ستاره ها اگر به من مدد کنید
دامن از غمش پر از ستاره می کنم

با دلی که بویی از وفا نبرده است
جور بیکرانه و بهانه خوشتر است
در کنار این مصاحبان خود پسند
ناز و عشوه های زیرکانه خوشتر است

ای ستاره ها چه شد که در نگاه من
دیگر آن نشاط و نغمه و ترانه مرد
ای ستاره ها چه شد که بر لبان او
آخر آن نوای گرم عاشقانه مرد

جام باده سرنگون و بسترم تهی
سر نهاده ام به روی نامه های او
سر نهاده ام که در میان این سطور
جستجو کنم نشانی از وفای او

ای ستاره ها مگر شما هم آگهید
از دو رویی و جفای ساکنان خاک
کاین چنین به قلب آسمان نهان شدید
ای ستاره ها ستاره های خوب و پاک

من که پشت پا زدم به هرچه هست و نیست
تا که کام او ز عشق خود روا کنم
لعنت خدا به من اگر به جز جفا
زین سپس به عاشقان با وفا کنم

ای ستاره ها که همچو قطره های اشک سر به دار
سر به دامن سیاه شب نهاده اید
ای ستاره ها کز آن جهان جاودان
روزنی به سوی این جهان گشاده اید

رفته است و مهرش از دلم نمی رود
ای ستاره ها چه شد که او مرا نخواست؟
ای ستاره ها،ستاره ها،ستاره ها
پس دیار عاشقان جاودان کجاست؟

Imrovisation / Declamation | ستاره ها - زمستان ۱۳۹۷/ تفلیس

Wondering if, while untying a knot in a long rope, slowly untangling the rope from its own grip, the exact point where the knot ends and the rope begins can ever be determined, observing that the rope itself is a series of tangled strings that are a handful of woven cords of entwined strands of braided fibre of woven matter.

The same goes with the outward spiral of interlacing a series of "Girih" and putting together different pieces until eventually a pattern emerges. A pattern to which, one could keep on adding particles and details until it eventually becomes a complex, indecomposable system, a multi-layered design that has infinite detail yet is still a form that resembles the whole.

Experimental electronic musicians from Iran have marked their prints on the face of the universal experimental music scene for some time now, though the manner in which their status went from "non-existent" to "present" and from "silent" to "noisy" might somehow seem "unpredictable" to the naked eye. The way these small individual girihs have become conjoint in order to make a larger design, might at some point seem arbitrary and even accidental. Nevertheless, by following the patterns in which the branches of a river are spreading and by trailing all its curves and bends...  more

“Passacaglia Upon A Note” is a reflection piece on J.S Bach’s Passacaglia in C minor.
The Note ‘’C’’ exists in every measures and it can be regarded as theme but the other point of view can be Bach’s original theme as the present theme since it’s happening all the time in the parts.
The number of variations in this piece are equal with Bach’s original composition as well as the character of them so for example a silent variation in Bach’s piece gets also silent here and etc.
The Score does only contain the piano part and live electronics are improvised by the composer in this edition. However, the live electronics is following the Bach’s variations according to the structure.
This piece was commissioned for a performance (Tbilisi State Conservatory’s composers concert 2018) and composed in the very limited period time therefore the composer intend to rearrange this to newer editions with revisions in the piano part as well as live electronics.
