A reimagination of Siāwčamāna
This piece is a reimagination of Siāwčamāna. Siāwčamāna is a well-known traditional Kurdish song from the villages of Uramanat, an ancient cultural region in the Zagros Mountains. The song belongs to the rich musical tradition of the Hawrami people, and it is thought to have evolved from a song performed in religious ceremonies in Zoroastrian times or possibly earlier.

strings are tuned in the following order: 87.7 , 190 , 262 and 360 Hz
This piece is an interpretation of several poems from the book Dîvân-i Shams by Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Balkhī known as Rumi. The structure is following the rhythms of the poems and interpreting modes of recitation. Just as a reciter of a poem can create and accentuate meaning with meaning-making faculties of human speech, so a player can accomplish the same with his or her unique intonation.

this piece is inspired by thinking about traveling between two world, whether they represent metaphorical worlds of one's own imagination, mythological worlds of the living and the dead, or different worlds as conceptualised by modern physics. The music reflect the uncanny presence in the unfamiliar space in-between.
