This exposition is in revision and its share status is: visible to all.
In this exposition I’m showing you my journey for these past two years of investigating my artistic practice through the meeting of identity and aesthetics.
Due to my Iranian background, I have felt a need and curiosity to bring together my Iranian and European identities. This project is a dialogue between myself and music, encompassing sounds, arrangements, physical presence, materiality, technology, context, and politics.
By politics I mean; history, cultural appropriation, diversity, colonisation, beliefs, and the current needs of the western culture.
A project involving confrontations with habits, default parameters, and elements within digital audio workspaces, thereby incorporating scales.

Concentric Cycles
(last edited: 2024)
author(s): Emanuel Elischa
This exposition is in revision and its share status is: visible to all.
“CONCENTRIC CYCLES” is a personal artistic reflection of a 2 year growing process, in which I investigated artistic perspectives & the aesthetic potential around the context of circular rhythmic, as well as ambient electronic music through a linear sequence based improvisation like Oren Ambarchi, Mark Fell, Barker, Iku Sakan, concepts from Cosmic Kraut Rock, as well as the cyclic perspective & influences of Classical Indian Music.
The research addresses the paradox between linear and circular perception and contributes a poetic outcome to the spiritual and philosophical context of Evolutionary Astrology & the Buddhist Heart Sutra as a paradox of dualism.
A reoccurring association in my musical language is the circulation, contrasted to a linear based & sequenced polarity in perception. I explore the perceptional borderline between circularity and linearity, which is induced through recurrent and transforming sonic fluctuations in an electro acoustic & modular electronic set up.
This catalogue takes the form of a reflective text, with a specific focus on the working methods, contextual placements, considerations & personal psychological analysis, as well as the evolutionary intention of the process that opened up for me during all the cycles I went through.

Meridiana: Lines Toward a Non-local Alchemy
(last edited: 2023)
author(s): Søren Kjærgaard
This exposition is in revision and its share status is: visible to all.
“Meridiana: Lines toward a non-local Alchemy” investigates the line as a sonic, textual and visual phenomenon.
Taking off from the four
literary voices: the Dutch philosopher Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677), the French philosopher Gilles
Deleuze (1925-1995) and the Chinese Taoists Lü Yan (796 C.E.) and Sun Buer (1119–1182 C.E.),
a multitude of meanings are interwoven in a rich network of musical, textual and graphic lines.
The line as a basic concept is emphasized by the first word of the title, Meridiana (plural for meridian), which has terminological roots in both the East and the West. In Western terminology, it denotes one
geographical line connecting the North and South Pole.
In the East, originating from ancient China, meridians (经络) are energy pathways of the body (both human and non-human), which connect internal organs and a number of vital points in a neurological network.
The meeting between these two interpretations of a "meridian", between the geo-physical and sub-physical, between East and West, are the cornerstones of the project, which intention is to weave together the various
meanings and emphases of meridian, while at the same time unfolding an expanding an intersection of lines:
sonic lines, textual lines, graphic lines.
