No simple form conducts its lowing steer

The simple are sublime forms. I have an affinity for them. Like Zen of Japan is a mystery beyond comprehension. Because those simple forms are constantly searching for their origins. A delicate form filled with matter of cares. I find that very attractive. These simple forms are all around me. It seems to me important to take oneself to something more accessible than being awakened by external forces. The world is, in my opinion, a subjective entity that is constantly reshaping itself as a result of individual perceptions. It may also be absolute, which is subjective. One's own self is the source, but they are manifested only when one connects with something larger than oneself.

IIQA‘ SAMA‘I THAQIL 10/8 TIME FOR A DREAM OF SPRING

 

Odalisque au tambourin-Harmonie en bleu, 1926 Henri Matisse































The spring is the season when the earth is like a child that

knows poems by heart as Rainer Maria Rilke said. 

Everything will be colourful and blooming, 

it is one of the most fascinating times in the year....

By the way, I will be choreographing one of the most classic

Arabic rhymes, 10 beats, IIqa‘ Sama‘i Thaqil in March... 

IIqa‘ Sama‘i Thaqil, called Samai for short,

is 10/8 is a relaxing sow tone;

there are 10 beats in each bar.

This rhythm also has unique accents.

As you can see if you listen carefully, this characteristic rhythm has emphasised

beats on the 1, 4, and 6 to 8, creating a tone that makes you feel relaxed 

and swaying in the cradle.

So,

It is divided and can be counted by 3-2-1-1-3 or 3-2-2-3.

Listen to it many times and let it soak into your ears and body.


It is said that this dreamy rhythm of Samai is a traditional

music form of the Turkish Ottoman Empire and is often

played in Turkish instrumental form and Muwashah originated

by Andalus, where is located in present-day Southern Spain, 

also frequently used as the one of aristocratic art styles.
