Senso di Voce
Esin Gunduz + Megan Kyle's Senso di Voce
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 Ä°bn '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)
Coming out on Sept 12 from Sonic Transmissions Records,soon you can pre-order their album through itself here!
