"Binary Improvisation 140" opens with the rhythmic pulsing of a Daf, a traditional large Persian frame drum, setting an odd yet captivating tempo. This is not your everyday beat, but rather a complex binary rhythm that requires careful listening to fully grasp. As the composition progresses, more percussive elements are introduced, creating a rich tapestry of interwoven rhythms that seem to communicate in an ancient, universal language. Suddenly, the percussive patterns shift, taking on an oriental flavor. The beats become more nuanced, echoing the sounds of distant markets and bustling bazaars. This transports listeners to a different world, full of mystery and allure. The Daf drum continues to dominate, its resonant tones forming the backbone of the piece. As the title suggests, the composition is an improvisation. It's a raw and spontaneous musical dialogue between the artist and his instrument. Every strike, every silence, every resonating echo is a decision made in the moment
