Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #685 - ISON, the full album by Sevdaliza - plus The Formula and "Human" - Musical Monday for 1705.22

Hi Mom,

This whole blog avocation is a constant cycle of catching up and falling behind.

I am not posting Musical Monday on Wednesday, and I need to make it a quick to finish post so I can do two other posts today plus work.

I discovered Iranian-born Sevdaliza earlier this year. I have posted many of her videos in previous Musical Mondays.

I am re-posting the first video of hers I found, "Human," here again plus a link from Atwood magazine about the song and about Sevdaliza. The article is definitely worth a look.

At the end of April, Sevdaliza, who now lives in Rotterdam, released her first full album, Ison.

The album may be named for the "sun grazing" comet, ISON -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_ISON

But it's probably named for the drone note in music:

ISON - Ison is a drone note, or a slow-moving lower vocal part, used in Byzantine chant and some related musical traditions to accompany the melody, thus enriching the singing, at the same time not transforming it into a harmonized or polyphonic piece.

ISON has already gained great acclaim in the almost 30 full days since it's release.

I agree. I find Sevdaliza and her work to be quite mesmerizing.

I am also sharing her short film The Formula, which is well worth watching.

SEVDALIZA HYPNOTIZES US WITH THE OTHERWORLDLY “HUMAN”

Published on May 26, 2016
Never one to work within borders, Iranian multi-medium artist Sevdaliza marries new music and visuals together for short film, The Formula. Featuring Sevdaliza in the lead role, while handling co-director and producer duties, the short follows the two relationship of two lovers while examining themes of death, love, and happiness. All before culminating in a dramatic ending that feels bitter and unexpected, much like real life.

NOTE on time: When I post late, I had been posting at 7:10 a.m. because Google is on Pacific Time, and so this is really 10:10 EDT. However, it still shows up on the blog in Pacific time. So, I am going to start posting at 10:10 a.m. Pacific time, intending this to be 10:10 Eastern time. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. But I am not going back and changing all the 7:10 a.m. times. But I will run this note for a while. Mom, you know that I am posting at 10:10 a.m. often because this is the time of your death.
