"I've always been interested in Arabic chants and calls to prayers in Muslim religion. This is why I was drawn to this particular sound.
"However, I wanted to be respectful of the religious aspect of the Adhan, and so I thought about finding a way to accompany the solemn moment of the call to prayer through the sounds I added to my piece, thus enhancing the beauty of the original chant.
"I believe prayer to be both a collective and intimate moment, where one joins the divine through sound, and so I wanted to portray that in my piece, guiding the listener so that he can immerse in this moment, where everything is silent, except for the call to commune with a god we will never be able to fully comprehend."
