Hoopoe by Ehsan Saboohi

Composer's note

"For me, the love and affection I have for the great playwrights such as Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, and Eugène Ionesco, among many other influential figures, has always been as strong as my passion for music and composition throughout my life. In the assembled body of work, I have effectively overcome anxiety and apprehension that have traditionally hindered my ability to compose a play.

In the fourth installment of 'Politics-Aesthetics,' my primary focus lies on the structure of Language. Within this anthology, I purposefully engage in examining the position of post-Orientalism music within language frameworks. In addition, in Music, I delve into the potentialities of post-Orientalist compositions across various genres, including soundscape, ambient, field recording, and spacetime.

In this collection, I am indebted to Narrators for their heartfelt benevolence and tenderness in lending their voices as narrators. I express my gratitude to them wholeheartedly and extend my sincerest wishes for their continued success.

Furthermore, I would like to express my deep appreciation to the esteemed label, "Noise à Noise," and my esteemed friend, Soheil Soheili, for their unwavering dedication and tremendous enthusiasm in bringing my works to publication. Their tireless efforts are sincerely acknowledged and commended."

I appreciate the profound paintings of Ola Aldous and Mohsen Tehrani for their cover art.

Yours sincerely,
Ehsan Saboohi
