My next work fabric of wailing flowers for violin, clarinet, flute, fixed media and experimental animation is a large-scale fantasy inspired by the current revolution in Iran. It begins inside an architecture made of skin and flesh. Standing upright from people’s pain and sacrifice, the architecture is a perpetual machine that turns the pain into ethereal spaces that reveals. this work will be performed by Collective Lovemusic on April 29th 2023 at Harvard University.

postponed- for experimental animation and music focuses on the image of a nostalgic fabric, distinct by its persian visual patterns. It folds and unfolds to create a space wrapped around creatures whose voluminous bodies feed off of these fabrics. It is a world in which these bodies survive by being attached to these fabrics of memories, language and nostalgia through luminous and glowing transparent pipes- feeding off of them like monsters.
These spaces are the cords between the creatures and the nostalgic fabrics. These creatures maintain their lives through these pipes, turning these visual symbols to mere surfaces, devoiding them from their meanings and significance.
The music is the sound of these transparent pipes which I call the engines. The trio consists of low, ethereal sounds incorporating fragmented microtonal melodies from persian music. Above the low perpetual wall is the shimmering multiphonics of double bass and clarinet
