dzieba
ძიება (search), pronounced 'dzieba', is a technological reconstitution of the Georgian polyphonic choral tradition. Using microtonal values derived by Sandro Shar, I retune a synthesiser patch to play through memories of Georgian folk songs. I improvise my place in a canon of tradition that is inseparable from my identity, but also part-constructed of nostalgia. Accompanied by eclectically sequenced samples of Georgian drumming, piano improvisation, and unstable live looping, ძიება is an ongoing effort to chart and make tangible the live archive of my heritage.
