A Meditational Journey Concert at Zimihc Theater Utrecht

Inspired by Iranian traditional music, electronics, and improvisation.

An evening where I performed setar, piano, and electronics.

I really like performing with loop stations and different synthesizers as I believe the combination of these instruments with setar creates a great balance of sound.

“You are not going to defeat me,” I say
“I won’t be an egg which you would crack
in a hurry for the world,
a footbridge that you would take on the way to your life.
I will defend myself.”

Fragment from ‘Maternity’  schrijfster Anna Swir (1909–1984)

I participated in this beautiful project as the composition coach, we had participants from China and Netherlands composing music for cello, piano and toy piano.

Morphos is about the chemical processes that take place in our bodies after we die.

Phase 1: The blood is no longer pumped around so that the lower part of the body becomes heavier and the upper part lighter and lighter.

Stage 2: The body stiffens, especially the arms, legs, jaw, neck, and eyelids.

Phase 3: The heat disappears from the body. The body takes the temperature of the environment and this is the first phase in which the body becomes one with our environment.

Phase 4: Because the skin stands upright, the hair seems to grow. A wonderful illusion.

Stage 5: The bacteria, which have always been good friends in our digestive system, begin to eat the body.

Stage 6: The skin becomes loose. The old “coat” is shed.

Phase 7: The final phase; The body disintegrates. Atoms evaporate to be something else for a while.

Direction, camera, editing, clothing, and choreography: Nienke Jorissen
