Perhaps it would be wise to write a brief memorandum to manifest the challenging publication of this audio production “kaaheshe aaniye toul” (abrupt contraction of length). And maybe it would be essential to urge the audience to “Listen to this!”, “This rocks the world!” or “This Post-everything!”. However, let me tell you that this piece of art is the “Nothing”: Nothing than my EX-perience. To be honest, I am “trained”, not to be honest, when flashed back with the own creativity in arts, and also not to be honest with the audience and their perception. “Kaheshe aniye toul”, is the result of – and equals – to one year of an explorative life, a year of eccentric experience with myself and with my friends: compact in the electronic studio of my friend, Haami Haghighi, the key sponsor of this project: the electronic studio that represents the “black box” from which I break out in act of art.

The act of creation in arts not only aims at making impact on the audience, moreover it is expression by and impression to the artist himself. The product of such a process bears the catalytic starter of other creative processes, iteratively understood as a chain reaction, exiting the black box and returning back. The black box, the paradigm of “the Nothing that bears the potential Everything”: Here, I listen today, what I felt subordinated to create as an art piece back in 2005.

But – unfortunately –art is regarded as existent if an audience manifests and commits to its existence: an audience for art. It remains a question to me if there would be any “leakage” from this “black box” to an audience, and where and when such an audience may form itself. I only confess to believe that in the end the “length” of this vibration may abruptly contract between your two ears: an absurd instant that makes my personality sharply split with the sole question: Why shall I care of an audience?

But let me urge you to listen to this “abrupt contraction of length”: if you are searching for a home but you don’t know where to find it, listen to “abrupt contraction of length”!
