ZLATA_BD_LIFECODE

A techno set composed around one person's life code. My friend Zlata was born on 22 April 1999. Every birthday she has lived falls on a different day of the week — and each day of the week corresponds to a note: Monday–Do, Tuesday–Re, Wednesday–Mi, Thursday–Fa, Friday–Sol, Saturday–La, Sunday–Si. 28 birthdays, 28 notes, one full score. A life as a partitura. I scored her notes into the arabic hijaz mode on E — oriental, mystical, unresolved — and built the set around hard techno kicks and pagan ritual textures. Every year of her life is audible in the melodic line. The last note is Mi — the note of the day she turned 27. This is a gift to a friend. It is also the first piece in a wider series I'm building — BIOLINE — where every person is written as a score. Project by Maria Gutkova.
