This piece is taken from a music-album that is ongoing-composition, and is now during the pre-order period on Noise à Noise, too. “Politics-Aesthetics II: Becketts Quad Variations”. This is the second collection among a few albums with similar titles and numbers in sequence that he has composed, or have planned for composition throughout the next season; similar to the previous album, it is an ongoing project, too. An album that is under development, but won't be pending the release as the pieces are going to gradually appear here on Bandcamp on a weekly basis during the pre-order period.


Ehsan Saboohi is a composer and music theorist, he considers himself a post-orientalist composer, a term he has coined to describe a music language for analyzing the aesthetics of his and his colleagues’ compositions. He demands a different language of common Contemporary Classical music trends by taking inspiration from the philosophical-social ideas of the famous philosopher Edward Said.
“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.”

107 - Ehsan Saboohi - Becketts Quad Variations No.1 (Compilation excerpts)

Contemporary classical piece composed by Ehsan Saboohi

Makhoola Dance

This piece is taken from the artist's composition series "Post​-​Orientalism No. 0". The album was released on this label on May 17, 2023 as an episode Zero, throughout an ongoing composition project by then. These episodes include pieces that are referred to as 'Sound Blocks', and are dedicated to many people who have lost their lives, therefore it demanded a longer production process (between winter and the spring in 2023) considering the social condition in Iran. It is now released again as a part of this compilation.

"Considering the history of mankind, we must assert, in all honesty, that an infinite number of uncounted cultural sound blocks exist among which are melodies that have never been heard.
