Abstract
Doğu Invocation was composed for Shui Mo in its inaugural concert as an ensemble, on Bristol New Music, April 28, 2024, in the Victoria Rooms, Bristol, UK. Players in the first performance were Kiku Day, Hyelim Kim, Jingyu Chew, Cheng Peng, He Shuiqingqing and George Owen, with composer conducting.
Doğu means ‘east’ in Turkish, and this piece accordingly combines sound worlds of north-East and central Asia. Besides the spiritual influences embodied in Shakuhachi, there are strong references to Shamanic musical traditions (especially Korean, central Chinese [e.g. Qiang] and Turkic) which inspire the work’s rhythmic and sonic dimensions.
