----------------

Even though "Mesh" can be performed as a stand-alone composition, it was premiered as part of the evening-length project "Der Wanderer 2.0" which I developed together with the Nadar Ensemble in 2023. In the version presented in the context of this project, the audience is wearing headphones on which part of the soundtrack and amplification is played back, while other parts of the soundtrack and amplification are heard through the loud speakers on stage. This splitting allowed for an extensive manipulation of sonic depth, nearness, distance, foreground, background, blanketing and uncovering. The audience was encouraged to play with the headphones, taking them on and off freely, listening to only one ear, etc., creating their own listening experience.
Of course none of this can be replicatd on this live-recording, in which the soundtrack is rendered to stereo.

Inertia is the first of a set of works by the composer 
utilizing a system he developed called “monodies”. In this system Hosseini attempts to bring into relief the distinct function of the aggregate of all individual lines of the music - heard as a single horizontal complex.

Imbedded within this rather experimental approach is a set of time-honored principles derived from various oriental traditions - perhaps the most salient example of which can be found in the “dastgah” music system belonging to Persian music traditions. 

Inertia contains an emergent form approximating both the common principles employed in the spontaneous compositional procedures of oriental music and practiced today in the field of audio synthesis.
