Product Description
In GRAVITY I explored different gravities as forces we not
only feel them in every moments of our lives, but also thinking of living
without or escaping from them seems impossible. Likewise, those gravities exist
in the music, make us feel the music continuous, desirable, logical and an
integrated language of art. The exploration of the path from chaos to unity,
and from unity to multiplicity, is where the title came from.
GRAVITY consists of two main sections. The first section,
which shows the fully-grown and flourished musical ecosystem, and the second
part; a flashback to just after big-bang, which tries to musicalize the
creation of the gravity! In the first section, Ive used the concept of
horizontal and vertical minimalism. At the very beginning of the piece we have
a structure that bring the idea of the vertical minimalism out. In every
moment, each instrument plays the same note as others. However, the narrative
line is divided into different octaves, so, the melody is not the same in spite
of the fact that each instrument plays the same tone. This structure also
reminds the paradoxical ladder or optical staircase illusion. The narration is built
up until it reaches temporal climax. At the same time, this melody starts again
from the beginning with some microscopic differences visible vividly to
musicians. This semi reciprocating musical narration, could be observed as a
musical example of the staircase illusion. After this part, but still in the
first section of the music, Ive used the horizontal (traditional) minimalism
idioms to explore the bounding forces present in the music. Although, what
interesting here is the creation of synthetic voices which is the result of
different amounts of the nuances and different combinations of the sound. For
keen ears, it seems like shades of neon lights, penetrate into one another in
the scale of time and create a big picture of micro fluctuating objects.
In the second section or just after big-bang, Ive observed
and recreate musically, the very moment of creation of the gravity just after
the big-bang. Here, we dont have melody, rhythm, structure, narration and
other aspects of the music in the traditional way, although all of them are
present in the music. very single sound or noise is meaningful and showing the
assemblage process of the forces in the music to create a melody line. Ive
occupied idioms of contemporary Sonorism genre to create the atmosphere. This
highly complex texture shows the virtuosity of interpreters and the capability
of the instruments in avant-garde literature and extended techniques.
The music is concluded by a fast-tempo finale, with the
instruction of fortissimo possiblile (as loud as possible). The piece, in fact,
will not be finished as a morendo, but, it opens a space for hypothetically
living structure; constantly grows, flourishes, shines and decays.
