Statement
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).

استیتمنت
پُست-اورینتالیسم اصطلاحی است که توسط احسان صبوحی آهنگساز و تئورسین برای توصیف یک زبان موسیقی برای زیبایی شناسی آهنگسازی او و همکارانش  ساخته شده است. صبوحی این زبان را این‌گونه تعریف می‌کند:
«پُست-اورینتالیسم یک زبان موسیقایی مُدرن است که از صداها و فواصل میکروتنال به‌همراه ساختار‌های زنجیره‌ای و بلوک‌های صوتی دگرگون‌شده‌ برای دست‌یابی به یک اثر موسیقایی پُست-اورینتالیسم در ترکیب‌بندی‌های متفاوت آکوستیک و الکتروآکوستیک استفاده می‌شود.»
صبوحی در دوره‌ی سوم آهنگسازی خود، با الهام و تاثیر از اندیشه‌های فلسفی-اجتماعی فیلسوف برجسته ادوارد سعید (1935_2003)  در جستجوی زبانی متفاوت از جریان‌های موسیقی کلاسیک معاصر رایج غرب است.
