Abstract

Flowing Pieces is a short journey through the world of language via an abstract poem. I have taken the opportunity in creating this radio work to explore linguistic perception as related to the flow of time during which the poem is read in four distinct and unique languages. Each of the languages represents various phases of my life. Farsi is my mother tongue; Hebrew relates to my cultural/religious roots; French is the 'unofficial' second language of Iran; English is the language of my new environment. The richness of these cultures constantly flow through my world of thoughts, actions, dreams and desires. They contribute to my mind's inner linguistic/aural thinking and patterning. Flowing Pieces is a narrative/collage that treats spoken word both as 'language' and 'sound object'.
