This book is about two. It concerns the question of how one voice becomes two voices, and how one being enters into a relationship with another without either destroying the other or dissolving into it.
If there exists no path toward genuine two-voicedness except through a fundamental departure from the linguistic and musical tradition of Iran, then my answer is unequivocal: I am willing to undertake that departure. As a composer, I am prepared to engage in what I call a project of maximal forgetting in order to gain access to an understanding of subjecthood and the structural conditions necessary for a second voice to emerge. By forgetting, I do not mean the passive abandonment of something I consciously possess. I mean something more active and more difficult: the deliberate effort to become conscious of what has sedimented within me beneath awareness, to examine the unconscious structures that shape my hearing, my thinking, and my compositional practice.
Ehsan Saboohi is a composer and music theorist of post-orientalism.
