O Kim?

This work has been commissioned by the Fondation Royaumont, to be premiered by the Meitar Ensemble in the September of 2018.

The title, O kim, is in Turkish; I have recently become obsessed with the demonstrative pronoun 'O', which roughly translates into 'this' or 'that'

in English. Combined with 'kim', it turns into a question: 'who is that/this?'. This piece entails a lost entity attempting to claim an identity

and meaning for itself , and furthermore, a justification to persevere its existence.
