On Saturday 14th Sept, Ensemble KNM premieres a new work by Juliana Hodkinson and film duo Realillusion - Atefeh Kheirabadi and Mehrad Sepahnia - at Berlin's Radialsystem, as part of their invitation to several composes and sound artists to respond to the legacy of Nina Simone's song 'Four Women'.
The collaborative work کاربر ناشناس (in Farsi, ‘unknown user’) - refers to the nationwide protests that broke out in Iran in 2022. The work conveys the protests and their consequences, documented and shared with various degrees of anonymity in social networks by users who often themselves stood at considerable risk by recording and sharing footage. Those unknown users' short videos are collated, in this work, around four thematic perspectives of some of the women who have witnessed, driven and participated in the protests.
The Project is commissioned and premiered by Ensemble KNM Berlin and is written for bass flute, contrabass clarinet, cello and film with soundtrack.
The other composers responding to Simone's 'Four Women' in the same concert are Lin Fang-Yi, Cao Thanh Lan and Ana María Rodríguez.
