MESSAGE FROM Seyedi

 

The piece began with a single, evocative word: "Scale". For several days, I intensified the ambient sounds around me through headphones, creating a sonic microscope that magnified even the most mundane of noises. The simple act of a bird flapping its wings became a source of intense anxiety, and the chirping of sparrows outside my window became gratingly unpleasant. The foundational material for this composition was exclusively derived from field recordings of my immediate environment, subjected to numerous layers of synthetic processing. While I initially found common ground with Pierre Schaeffer and the classical musique concrète movement, my artistic trajectory diverged from their foundational principles. My primary compositional focus was on granular synthesis. I began by working with large-scale sound structures, gradually decomposing them into increasingly minute granular components. This process of sonic reduction allowed me to explore the microscopic textures and temporal nuances inherent within the original recordings.
