Far Close (2008)

After a relative success with the Pessimistic album in Malaysia, Hossein Hadisi had a major shift in style by studying, researching, teaching, composing, performing, recording and producing modern classical music in the UK (2007 - current). This set of new works make up his second album, "Far Close" (2008), which consists of piano and violin pieces. "Sexual Rejection Was The Reason To Murder" (parts I - VIII) forms the first half of the album with eight sections of a long piece (9':26") composed for violin and piano. This piece is composed based on the ideas on "comprovisation" (Michael Finnissy), in an attempt to produce a rather improvisatory music based on composed ideas. The next track, "The Double Edged Passion" is a short violin solo.

The second half of the album, consists of 11 variations for solo piano (14':34"), named "Far Close". These variations are based on ideas of the Persian music mode of the Chahargah; adopted in a modern way and in a rather foreign, alienated piano rhetoric. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZxUwhkwjxQ "The Decision Was Made at 5am Sharp"] is a duo, originally written for the Keynote+ ensemble (Kate Ryder on piano and Jane Chapman on harpsichord). This piece uses a prepared piano based on John Cage's preparations in contrast with a harpsichord; a rather unfamiliar wedding of two of the oldest and youngest members of the keyboards family. The final track of the album, [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=XAp8m35MsgM "What We Didn't Say In The Funeral"] is a quartet written for the Gemini ensemble. This piece features two violas, a flute and a bass clarinet in a rather sad, slow music which moves towards a happier, more rhythmic ending. Performances of these two ensembles are featured on [http://www.hosseinhadisi.com Hossein Hadisi's Official Website] .
