Requiem for the 21st Century

T01094113856
The piece takes its inspiration from the rich accumulation of myth and history that surrounds the oud - the Middle Eastern lute that is the forerunner of the western instrument. The installation will be constructed from a collection of broken and decaying ouds, playing recorded notes in randomly-generated patterns. Together the array of instruments will generate unique and continuously metamorphosing melodic fragments and fields of sound based on different maqams, the modes of Arabic music.
