Tune into the vibrations of the universe through sonic interpretations of works by a Sufi mystic! ~

 

Senso di Voce’s mind-altering improvisations surround the latest piece by Esin for the duo.

 

 

Commissioned by Chamber Music America* and inspired by the writings of revolutionary Islamic thinker İbn 'Arabî (1165-1240),  ‘...through itself…’ (©2023 Esin Gunduz) is an exploration of his profound philosophical / cosmological concepts, through sound:
           

I. Selam:
…yearning to become one with… (wajd)
 

II. Everything is alive:
…the life-force inside of all existent things
(‘even inside a rock’)

III. Perplexity:
…the state of bewilderment / non-dual awareness… (hayrah)

IV. Oneness:
…the state of union / higher state of consciousness (‘immediate tasting’) 

​

 

Senso di Voce focuses on the embodied experience of varying acoustical phenomena:

 

Esin Gunduz (voice, composition, tremolo harmonica, bass harmonica, harmonium)
Megan Kyle (oboe, English horn)

 

EP "marveling" is out now!
