The Precise Cuts of Persian Poets

By Minnamari on November 14, 2024 9:30 pm

This instrumental song is based on a melody I wrote on the piano a few years back, that I named "Song for Persian Poets" because it was inspired by a book of Persian poetry that my Persian friend gave me. (The book was "Faces of Love", with poetry by Hafez and other poets of Shiraz).

I wanted to add some more layers to the simple piano melody and make it more dynamic and airy, but I'm still not sure if it's all the way there. It's a tricky balancing act trying to make something both layered/dynamic and airy. I left the rhythm "mechanical" the way the software automatically makes it, as a tribute to my Persian friend who is very proper and precise. And as a tribute to the poetry, that cuts straight through, but also has the feel of sparkling magical dust sprinkled over it..can you hear it?



P.S. This week I've released"Aave Meduusa", an album that collects some of the Finnish songs I've published here on WeeklyBeats. If you want, you can grab it for free using one of the codes below (just write what code you used in the comments).

The persian culture is an incredible beautiful rich source. My persian father unfortunately told us only a little bit about the Persian culture, but Hafez was mentioned many times. This track was beautiful and inspiring. Thanks

Wow, I didn't know about your Persian roots! I'm sorry to hear your father has passed (?) and didn't have time to share more. I agree it's a incredibly rich culture, and I'm happy to have learned some about it from my friend, we celebrated the Spring Equinox together which I find fascinatingly similar to some pagan traditions, but with interesting additions like looking up a random poem that will then give a hint of how the year will be.

Thanks for listening!
