Study Symphonies

In balance is a duo of two women that are aiming for equality, joy and beauty of sound in their music making.

Jean Cras' "Suite en duo" for flute & harp lets both intruments shine and combines both colours and emotions.

10. Dozy Yellow Cabs

Doubt..... everyone knows or should know what doubt is. A truth among truths, two or more. When you doubt and it goes on and on, take action, decide with all your courage. The best decisions are those that remain AFTER a long period of making choices in your mind and are stronger than other choices in your mind! You are allowed to exist!!

In Dutch: Twijfel..... iedereen weet of zou moeten weten wat twijfel is. Een waarheid tussen waarheden, twee of meer. Wanneer je twijfelt en het duurt en duurt, onderneem dan actie, beslis met al je moed. De beste beslissingen zijn degenen die blijven NA een lange periode van keuzes maken in je hoofd en sterker zijn dan andere keuzes in je hoofd! Je mag er zijn!!

"One day, Hugues came. He brought a bugle, his instrument of choice. But he noticed the piano. Hiding in the shadows. Waiting for a stroke. He took the plunge. Playing the piano had always been his retreat to somewhere safe. Antonin knew it, having attended Impromptus at houses. Not this one, or that one, but those of friends. That’s why he asked Hugues to come back, in March 2025, without his bugle."

Card 12 The Hanged Man

The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...
