<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After finding a notebook of poems written in the 1930s by my female ancestor, Yevkin\u00e9 Diarian, survivor of the Armenian genocide, I felt a profound desire to sing these once-silent words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project explores voice, music and the fluidity of memory as means to let a threatened, intimate archive survive. Embodying the figure of a contemporary mystical nomadic troubadour (Ashugh), I use the Saz with electroacoustic technologies.
