Babel

This composition originated from recurring dreams featuring mysterious numbers and visions. The work explores the biblical Tower of Babel narrative — a story found across multiple religions depicting humanity's attempt to reach God, followed by divine punishment through language confusion. The piece reflects on contemporary communication failures. The composer observes that "people do not listen to each other," identifying this as a critical societal problem, particularly in political and cultural contexts. Rather than engaging in dialogue, individuals assert their own truths without receptiveness to others. BABEL serves as a personal artistic investigation into the composer's suffering stemming from heightened sensitivity to human miscommunication and inability to share understanding. The dreams significantly shaped the composition's form, embedding subliminal messages within pitches, rhythmical structures, and fundamental harmonic relations. The dreamt number series (12, 18, 31, 13, 81, 21, 1881, 1381, 11, 7, 5, 128231, 20) informed these musical codes, hinted at in the original title "12b8b3l."
