Tember - Between Mind and Love
Between Mind and Love (2021/22)
By Tember Ensemble
Live-Electronics & production: Alireza Ostovar
Tanbur & vocal: Pouria Solhjou
Back-vocal: Aysel Shahmoradi
Photo/cover: Saleh Kazemi
This research/production project aimed to explore how "transcultural electroacoustic music" might evolve, intending to create a new electroacoustic piece that explores innovative sounds and compositional possibilities.
This piece is based on a free improvisation/interpretation of an Iranian/Kurdish Maqam called Ghatar(continuity in Farsi language).
The lyric is some selected lines of a poem from Seyd Yaghub Mahidashti. The title of this track is inspired and taken from the poem:
عزیزان ماه رخساری ژ قوس ابروان تیری و جرگم آشنا کردن ندارم هیچ تقصیری
…
یک عمره پاسبانی کم ژ دور خرمن حسند و صد من گندم گوناد جوی نادی و ورزیری
ژ عقل و عشق حیرانم نه زانم قول کامین کم نه عشقم پیم ادا مهلت نه عقلم کات تدبیری
…
(شعر از سید یعقوب ماهیدشتی )
Dear friends, such a beautiful moon face with eyebrows arch like an arrow; it sat in my heart, it’s not my fault!
It’s a life I am guarding (taking care of love*), and I have got nothing! But a guarding dog receives a meal for its effort.
I am wondered/confused between Mind and Love; I don’t know which one to listen to! Neither the love respites me nor the mind gives me a solution.
* Here, the gender of the beloved one is not apparent, which also brings a spiritual love story with the god, or it can also be with a person.
In general, in Farsi and Kurdish languages, there is no gender determination in the language and words; therefore, there is no gender in the third person pronounce such a “she,” “he,” & “them.”
(Poem from Seyd Ya’aghub Mahidashti, meaning translation and notes by Ostovar)
This piece is part of an album called Land Scape releaed on 21st March 2022 and a live concert soon in Berlin.
