Question of identity :
These instruments have at least one thing in common. They are all well-known in the repertoire for having “ beautiful, pure, bright” sounds.
In my opinion, everything in our daily lives consist of many layers. Any of
these layers could reveal different kinds of identities/ qualities. We can
only perceive these different identities, by changing the environment and
habits of the norms. Different colors and qualities will come out and present
themselves since they have been placed in a “ not well-known situation.
In this piece, I am observing the behavior and attitude of three Individuals.
by preparing the instruments I am aiming to bring new characters, qualities
and colors in front. In other words I am changing their identities( if that
is possible at all ?!?) through changing their situations in which “ things”
happens.
We can still hear that “ pure” resonance, but also some “ new” sounds as
well. different shapes and colors of noises and layers. Observing how they
react alone, or together as duo or as trio. Could their quality and voice
change?!? It is an observation of how and if we are able to change the
identities and at the same time presenting the idea of “ anything could be
beautiful & special & pleasant”. we are the ones who defines everything
around us, giving identities and “ labels. so, nothing is ever fix,
everything is changeable.
