Khaz by FE

This project is based on generative graphic scores inspired by ancient Armenian Khaz notation, interpreted by musicians playing traditional instruments: kamencha, bass duduk, blul, qanun, and pishchik.

At its core, this work is part of my ongoing research into the intimate bond between a musician and their instrument, how performance is not only heard, but physically felt and embodied. Rather than focusing on polished musical outcomes, these recordings explore the raw, sensory realities of performance: the breath, heartbeat, and subtle gestures that usually remain hidden beneath the surface.

It’s an artistic exploration of presence, intimacy, and the moment where body and sound become inseparable. I’m deeply grateful to the musicians who joined this project, generously offering their vulnerability and presence to make this work possible.
