NILUFAR HABIBIAN (London, UK)

Nilufar improvising in search of a sound world for a film she will be writing the music for

In my composition I like to talk about human conditions especially emotions, pains, conflict and suffering. I get inspired by anything that has one of these characteristics. It could be a poem, picture, painting, film and literature or even the life of the real people including myself and my family. All of my pieces are telling a story or describing something. So narrative plays an important role in how I compose. Soundwise I generally have the whole picture in my mind. In my working process I figure out how to translate this into a form of notation.
