In search of post-esoteric sonic arcs

A curiosity in the process of taqasim (improvisations in the Arabic musical traditions) is the constant reference to the qaraar (the bass drone; literally translates to ‘decision’). The interplay between the qaraar (bass drone) and the jawaab (all other tones that are usually on a higher pitch; literally translates to ‘response’) is often seen as the content of the taqasim. I imagine an overall arc that exists on a plane beyond the divorced distinctions of qaraar and jawaab. In this sonic experiment, I explore the existence of a deconstructed sonic arc (or multiple arcs) that are presented in connected electronic pulses.
