SUMMARY:Meet the Composer: Nima Janmohammadi
DESCRIPTION:MEET THE COMPOSER: Nima Janmohammadi \nDuring this talk\, composer Nima Janmohammadi will discuss his work and creative process. \nJoin us in the Beam Classroom for this conversation. (The Beam Classroom is located in the Visual Arts Center\, 239 Maine Street\, Brunswick\, ME 04011) \nFree | Tickets not required \n— \nAbout Nima Janmohammadi \nNima Janmohammadi is a composer\, improviser\, and multi-instrumentalist. As a performer of Persian classical music\, he has studied with great masters of Persian Music\, including legendary Mohammad Reza Lotfi and Hossein Alizadeh. He has performed in numerous recordings and concerts including solo recitals in venues such as Boston’s historic Jordan Hall\, MIT\, Harvard University\, Tuft University\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY. He has recorded two solo Setar albums\, The Kiss Belongs to Nobody (2017)\, and Night of Lilac in the Absence of Language (2023). As a composer\, Nima has written for symphony orchestra\, chamber music of various large and small ensembles\, string quartet\, and saxophone orchestra. He has also written open form and graphic scores that incorporate elements of composition and improvisation. \nDeeply engaged in both Persian classical music and contemporary music\, Nima believes that the East does not meet the West\, but that they collide. It is in the abyss of this collision that new sonic and temporal possibilities interact through a transcendental metamorphosis that exists outside of time\, beyond the face of cultural signifiers. The idea of transcendence in Nima’s music is rooted in mysticism\, not in its unifying\, cyclic\, and ritualistic form\, but in its physical and bodily dynamic of release and constraint\, expansion and collapse\, chaos and emancipation. These physical phenomena escape narration and signification and are charged with different densities of energy\, the most important of which is silence. \n​As a scholar\, Nima’s recent involvement in music theory includes the analysis of the works of German avant-garde composer Helmut Lachenmann\, using Modular Theory and Gilles Deleuze’s concept of Difference and Repetition. \nNima is a full-time professor of Music Theory\, Musicology\, and Contemporary Musical Arts at New England Conservatory. He has previously taught at Harvard University in 2014 and has had lectures and masterclasses in numerous institutions in the U.S. and abroad. \nNima holds a bachelor’s degree in the performance of Persian classical music from Tehran School of Music\, a master’s degree and a graduate diploma in Contemporary Improvisation\, as well as a doctorate in Composition with a minor in Music Theory from New England Conservatory.
