A Window - An Evening of Persian Electronic Music
Persian traditional music has a very old tradition which has been formed through many generations. Improvisation plays an important role in this music, and therefore, the musical expressions are in constant flow of change; however, the musical language within this tradition has barely changed in the past few centuries.

This concert will use two very different musical traditions and presents them as complementing musical material. In this concert Yadegari uses the computer, a very modern and contemporary machinery, and the utility of its underlying concepts in the domain of sound, such as algorithmic composition and interactive processing of sound, as musical tools for composition, improvisation, orchestration, and spatialization, within the Persian music language.

Part I : Tape Pieces by Shahrokh Yadegari
Part II : Improvisations by: Shahla Sarehchani (vocals), Keyavash Nourai (violin, kamancheh), Shahrokh Yadegari (Computer)

Concluding with the composition "A Window" (2001) based on a poem by Forough Farokhzad.
