NAFAS                                                                    نفس


​Nafas 
​(2022) for soprano saxophone and accordion
commissioned by the Mikeleiz-Zucchi Duo

Nafas (نفس) in Farsi has multiple meanings, with original roots coming from Arabic. The first meaning is breath, respiration, or gasp.
​It can also be understood as the self or soul, or even used for the concept of voice or freedom.
​Close your eyes. Breath.
Be at one with yourself.
Tune into yourself.
Let your instrument breath.
Flow with it.
​
Gradually, open your awareness to your partner.
Flow with their breath and their instrument.
Tune in to them, breath with them.
