Burak: Hermes

Description

In ‘Hermes’, Burak has created a specific sonic architecture, in which he choreographed sound, using micro tonality and ancient Greek modalities as the foundation for this work. The nucleus of Burak’s exhibition-like art-piece is supported by the Baroque ensemble Musica Sequenza, performing structured improvisations on historical instruments. ‘Hermes’ is orchestrated by voice, Baroque bassoon, glass flute, gut strings, violon, theorbo, lyre, and Persian percussion as well as field recordings and 3D sound design: these all merged into one in this sensuous and disquieting masterpiece. ‘Hermes’ has a religious ritual setting at its core, using the Greek tragedy as the dramaturgical nexus for the piece. The choreographed sounds and the micro tonal score transport the listener through various chapters of a spiritual ceremony.
