I tried to synthesize the incisive sounds of EDM with the gnarliest innovations of modern composition — metric modulations, modes of limited transposition, twelve-tone rows — resulting in a piece of music suitable for concert halls and raves alike.
It spotlights a mode of Iranian classical music called Bidâd (“outcry”), known for its visceral, wailing quality. I hear the very same primal expressive urge in Bidâd, modern classical works like The Rite of Spring (hence the bassoon quote), and the heavier strains of EDM.
