Moving Sounds on Soho Radio with James Heather

Art inspires Art No:1
Dear all,
 I have been working on a video series inspired by 5 artworks from different disciplines which brought me new musics very organically over the past year. But I wanted to walk another path this time, instead of sharing the music on digital media as usual, I decided to bring it together with my own visual world and share it only on my youtube and instagram pages. (You can hear a a little rebellion against music industry:)
The first project is called ‘’Blue’’ written after a triology by Polish director Kieslowski. While experiencing a work of art I focus only on the emotions. In fact, this is the case in my entire life. I barely remember what was said or done, most of the time what is left behind is just a feeling. Maybe this is why I don't have many interest in reading the descriptions, texts or searching the images and symbols underneath. I love the natural flow. Do not prefer to interrupt my personal reflections. I believe words lose their function after the emotion to be conveyed crosses the street. But before I share this one, I wanted to take a look at it more detailed. The symbols in the film and their meanings both surprised me and confirmed what I said above. This is a music movie and it contains a rebirth story. It's not my job to comment further on the movie, all I can say the it has touched my heart. I carried a melancholy the following days. Finally, when this melody appeared, I was freed from the intensity and pressure of my emotions. Consider this as a call you give a friend to tell what happened. I editted the video too. Let's see what this will tell you.
Best,
Büşra

On Kieslowski's Blue

Here is the second video of the series. I discovered Florence Henri while scrolling through Instagram during the first lockdown last year. She is a very inspiring avant-garde photographer and a painter. There was a composition consisting of mirror, glass and flower in the photograph where I met her. A grayscale natur-mort. Her works has been one of the most important inspirations for me in phone photography and still-life shooting. I also learned while researching about this cool woman that she was friends with Kandinsky and Mondrian. This will give you a clue for the next vide work and maybe you can think about what sounds you hear while looking at her photographs. There is another aspect of this work that is special to me. For the first time, I used my own voice as an instrument. Even though they are interior compositions, there was a feeling of wind that I got from her photographs and I wanted to add an ambient layer under the melody I wrote on piano to emphasize that, but none of the materials I had in my daw program suited my feelings or it didn't feel like the right choice. Then I thought, why don't I use my own voice and treat it like a wind instrument? So it is my voice you hear in the background that has gone through some interventions obviously… Enjoy!
Love,
Büşra

On Florence Henri

I've read this very inspiring book written by Kandinsky last summer called Concerning the Spiritual in Art. I must say I was fascinated by his ideas so I wam sharing some quotes from the book which lead me to make music on Kandinsky... 'In Manupilation of form music can achieve results which are beyond the reach of painting. On the other hand, painting is ahead of music in several particulars. Music for example, has at its disposal duration of time; while painting can present to the spectator the whole content of its message at one moment''
 ''... But if the artist tunes his soul to this note, the sound will ring in his work of itself. The 'emancipation' of today must advance on the lines of the inner need.''

This track has a special place in my heart. The very first time I was listening to it I felt a great desire to play it on my piano. Then I searched for the lyrics and it melted my heart once again. I have been playing it every day since then. Just wanted to share randomly my rework project with you without procedures and boundaries... Enjoy!
