ABOUT THIS RECORDING
Performed by Kristin Samadi • Composed by Edward J Hines
Aksak for Piano is a collection of twelve works that explore rhythms in 5, 7 and 9 time (aksak). Some of the pieces are arrangements of traditional Turkish folk songs while others are inventions. The first sketches were composed in 2007 with the completion of the work ten years later.
The recording of this collection began in the Spring of 2020, and was accomplished remotely during to the Covid-19 pandemic. Six movements were recorded in Ms. Samadi's Forest Hills, New York, home. In late September 2020, the Samadi's relocated to the United Kingdom. The remaining movements were then recorded, using the same piano, from their new home in Cambridge. Aksak for Piano is Ms. Samadi's debut album.
