Aida Hormozian; Kasra Faridi - Kasra Faridi: The Fall

Kasra Faridi delved into a composition that emerged from months of immersive research into the sound of recursive functions, a deeply mathematical endeavour. Faridi delved into programming using C and C sound languages, crafting a sonic landscape that intertwines the realms of mathematics and music. As a pianist immersed in the classical repertoire, Kasra encounters counterpoint daily, with the works of Bach serving as a constant source of inspiration. Reflecting on the origins of musical expression, Faridi draw parallels between the concept of counterpoint and the primal echoes of sound reverberating within a cave, evoking a sense of ancient musical discovery. The use of the recorder, the oldest known instrument dating back 24,000 years, further enriches the sonic narrative, with its delayed and evolving sounds mirroring the gradual evolution of human understanding and civilization.
