I am psyched to announce that my "Tar o Pood" (Warp and Weft) (2014) written for Kronos Quartet is the second place recipient of The American Prize 2015 (chamber music professional division).
Tar o Pood, commissioned by Nasrin Marzban and Iranian cultural community of Ann Arbor for Kronos Quartet, is a piece for amplified string quartet and tape. It is based on the works song sung by Persian carpet weavers in Isfahan, Tehran and Kashan.
