Crystallum : for amplified string quartet & fixed media / Idin Samimi Mofakham

Description:
"Crystallum" is a journey into the depth of the sounds by investigating the internal and invisible relationships of their inner components and the complex network of their nature. The piece is structured on the relationship and the mapping of all the possible natural harmonic nodes on the strings of each independent instrument of a string quartet.
"Crystallum" is a compositional kaleidoscope of networks, organized with sounds in several levels and categories and pictured from different angles. "Crystallum" is the thin thread between the past and the present, orient and occident, Maqam/Adwar system, and Just Intonation music and inspired by the nomadology concept of Gilles Deleuze.
