Hypnos for bass flute or tenor recorder and tape 
Written in 2018 and revised in 2020
Recording from the premiere of version for bass flute: 28.01.2023, Grusomhetens Teater, Oslo, Norway.
Alessandra Rombolá – bass flute, Martyna Kosecka - electronics, Michal Sykora – mix

Hypnos is a dream; Hypnos is a passage through the mosaic of memories and flashes of the closed eye state. It disputes the concepts of time flow, sleepiness, and variable points of focus. The piece is written in the Dastgāh-e Māhur Persian scale and explores certain harmonic states and motivic groups that are the characteristic components of a dream, my Persian dream.

Square Shape Cloud

In the stillness of a Swedish forest, a solitary Mistle Thrush sings its melancholic tune. This recording captures the essence of the forest, a place where time seems to stand still and the beauty of nature can be fully appreciated.

Recorded 14.04.2023

Nebel Lang - Why Should I Stay?  

1. (situate)
2. like riddles
3. filled with sound

--

Something must have happened in my life.
Pondering questions like riddles, calm and collected.
Wondering where all the hours went,
I once had spent here,
looking at myself a bit puzzled.

Something must have caught my attention,
immersed into a different assignment, perhaps.
This precious time in between,
that is now filled with sound and ripe reality.
