Cold Hearth
for Piano and Live Electronics
Year: 2024
Cold Hearth is a musical exploration inspired by the evocative imagery and emotional depth of Nima Youshij’s poem of the same name. Just as the poem depicts a scene of a broken hearth in a desolate jungle, this composition seeks to capture the profound sense of loss and longing for past warmth and joy. Performer is encouraged to approach this piece with sensitivity and nuance, allowing the expressive power of the music to shine through. Dynamics, phrasing, and tempo fluctuations should be carefully executed to convey the depth of emotion inherent in the composition.
wAke UP!
for Cello and Fixed Electronics
Year: 2024
“wAke UP!” invites listeners on a journey through the enigmatic landscape of dreams. Dreams are inherently mysterious, often presenting us with a mix of images and sensations that sometimes defy easy interpretation. In wAke UP!, I aim to capture this essence by weaving together musical motifs that mirror the fluidity and unpredictability of our subconscious wanderings.
Ultimately, this piece is a sonic journey that explores the transformative power of dreams. Whether we find ourselves traversing vast landscapes or navigating the winding paths of our own minds, each dream is a unique and deeply personal journey—an exploration of the infinite possibilities that lie within us all.
Times Three
for Fixed Media, Surround Sound System (5.1)
Year: 2023
In the composition titled “Times Three,” the numeral “3” assumes a pivotal significance. A majority of the sonic motifs, interruptions, and even surprises are linked to this numerical value, coalescing into a ternary structure. A substantial portion of the auditory elements emanates from the thematic exploration of “manuscripting” and the seamless integration of technology, thereby transitioning into the realm of mechanics imbued with the essence of computerized systems.
