Ali Latif-Shushtari: «ElektroAbfall» (2021)
2-channel electro-acoustic composition

«ElektroAbfall» is the result of me digging up my old trash quality recordings. It is one of my most expressive compositions, stemming from a procedure that initially seemed highly abstract. Through composing it, I could relive certain moments of the past and envision the future. «ElektroAbfall» is extremely imaginative and processive. It is like a movie, but meant to be heard, as it follows an audio dramaturgy with a distinct narrative line, guiding the audience's imagination, leading and simulating their minds to create pictures. – Ali Latif-Shushtari
