The Acrobat by Diyarisan

"The Acrobat" is about the relationship between two people and the different forms it can take. Texts for this were provided by Else Lasker Schüler, Theodor Storm, Rosalía de Castro, the "Song of Solomon" from the Old Testament and Diyarisan himself. The spectrum includes dark mourning, searching and finding, clashing, infinite happiness and its rapid evanescence, hollow phrases, loneliness, intoxication, voyeurism and, again and again, love.

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.
