From Siavash: "What remains after mutilating and reassembling an essential historical recording? How is it connected to a particular event in a grotesque and cyclical novella riddled with medical procedures of an aesthetic and deforming nature? Malakoot -- this spiral, centers on a decision made one afternoon by a character. On a similar afternoon, full of anxiety, pressed by an unknowable presence in this city, I decided that the soundscape for such an inspiring work of fiction was a mutilated one; things collapsing in on themselves, self-decapitating, full of cuts and sutures. The material for all the surgeries was two of the earliest solo piano recordings in Iran's history, played by an incredibly ordinary but, at the same time, fascinatingly suspicious character. The procedures were performed both on the snippets and cuts of the recordings themselves and with the help of various digital methods, on synthesized resurrections made from their transcriptions."
