Projects
Esfandiyar’s Saga
In Progress
Esfandiyar’s Saga is an ambitious, multi-part project that reimagines the life of one of Persian mythology’s most tragic and profound heroes. Combining three original music compositions — a sonata, a symphony, and a piano concerto — with a newly written storybook, the project draws from the Shahnameh, Bahman Nameh, and the Avesta to explore Esfandiyar’s inner world.
Rather than focusing solely on battles and glory, this work delves into the emotional, spiritual, and philosophical dimensions of Esfandiyar — as a noble soul shaped by faith, duty, and the burden of fate.
Koit ja Hämarik
In Progress
is an upcoming narrative sonata for piano (or cello and piano) based on the beloved Estonian myth of Dawn and Dusk. This composition explores the eternal, fated love between two celestial beings who can meet only once a day — during twilight. Drawing from Estonian folk melodies and natural symbolism, the work is a poetic meditation on cycles, longing, and the quiet tragedy of impermanence.
