Gaivota from Flamenco Libre by Diyarisan
The song GAIVOTA is a non-functional, chromatic, but also modal composition and follows the principles of the Russian composer Nicolai Roslavets. The chords are built on fourths in the 12-tone space. The modal melody expresses the longing for travel, but also for return, which is symbolized in the text by the seagull. The text, written by the composer, is sung in Portuguese, the language of longing.

Lyrics
Gaivota
(Lyrics by Diyarisan)
Gaivota, tu me cumprimentas na partida e na chegada.
Gaivota, tu és o símbolo da viagem.
Tu estas apenas em um lugar.
Tu és sedentário e, no entanto, o símbolo da viagem.
Gaivota, gaivota, sempre que te vejo, penso em adeus.
Sempre que te vejo penso em voltar.
Seagull, you accompany me on departure and arrival
Seagull, you are the symbol of travel
You're only ever in one place
You are settled and yet the symbol of travel
Seagull, seagull, every time I see you I think of saying goodbye,
every time I see you I think of returning

Diyarisan's music follows the compositional concept of Russian composer Nikolaj Andreevic Roslavec (1880-1944). A six-note "synthetic chord" and its transposition form the tonal space for melodic and harmonic development, with additions to the 12-note scale forming breaks and musical interjections. The music deliberately plays with echoes of jazz, Middle Eastern folk music, and rock music.
