A glance at "shahin Alavi`s Group" Concert at Niavaran palace "Green Hall".

Walking on the cloud
Creating music ensemble different from active group's attitudes styles during several past decades are as a result of our time philosophy and thinking which will be put into practical tests in order that some forms of new music can be observed through experience module and mixing sounds of music.
"Shahin Alavi`s group" is one of the Iranian groups which has taken the first steps on this path at present time. This group under the name of "EA" and this year once again "In the fog" concert under the name of "Shahin Alavi`s Group" were on the scene at Niavaran palace new established hall(Green Hall).
The important point is group's kind of performance which we can verify it through various point of views. At the beginning and for the first step we are having a glance at shahin Alavi`s style. It seems that Shahin alavi in his own way of work is looking for new methods based on" Jazz" structures so as through this way he might create a kind of passable bridge between Jazz music and Iran music but in respect to his performance and his group we might say that Shahin Alavi`s music has attracted more to "Romance" narrations in music rather than Jazz structures.
Of course, we might look at another approach in changes occurred to Jazz performance and by doing so classify Shahin Alavi`s performance into this level of changes, but, perhaps the best name for naming this style is "Romance music title".
Romance music is kind of style in which composer realizing romantic music structures and singing love poems will refer to his own matter in hand narration in the kind of music language module. In the form of music, piece title and wresting engagements for reaching to a concept from subject are the best given approach in order to reach this type of style. Considering the fact that Romance term is another narration to an event witch associate its meaning, This style of music (Romance music) is included such kind of tendencies.
To select a name for pieces of a collection is a new event in relationship between music and addressee which belongs to 20th century and rooted in public music structures. Owing to this point that Romance music is kind of non vocal music, therefore, in order to express what is the idea of a composer, he must refer to a wresting language so that through this method he may have a communication between himself and addressee.
Shahin Alavi`s group are enjoying from the same channel in order to convey their concepts to audience. His group's performance were along with titles such as "Blue", "walking on the cloud", Sunshine, Now, Circles, Evolution, Kite, In the Fog, and arranging Piece "Arizona Dream(" by Goren Borgowich ). Shahin Alavi`s language is a kind of meditation language so that it associates the meaning of the name of mentioned pieces.
The above mentioned language is also very obvious in a soloist's work. Pieces such as "Sunshine" and "Circles" are pieces in which Alavi is playing Oud and  has been successful to associate his subjective behavior to those title he selected all by himself. This kind of work in fact have formed performance entire air and pieces like "Evolution", "Kite", and "In The Fog" were not separated from this kind of musical form.
But another point concerning  this concert which we might mention in which to a certain extent Shahin Alavi was succeeded in doing it.
By mixing Iranian music tune and entering it into other parts of the world `s musical forms, he endeavor ed to acquire an international language. A language by which he may attract his audience wherever he might be in the world and made him thing by certain fluency which existed in pieces. However, this mode of encounter with musical work can be a factor which may placed between serious music and pop music border.
Nowadays in the world of ours, "Romance Music" in its different forms that is Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic for various reasons have found more fans than old days, and it's kind of music which was also called soothing music. We might say that Shahin Alavi`s performance was the first experience of "Romance" music in Iran without tending to commonplace music and it can be counted as an appropriate substitute for a lot of commonplace and unknown music of recent days.
Finally, we might say that this group's continuance requires for producing more pieces and Shahin Alavi must be aware of this problem that making new pieces will prove to public a sense of searching and being alive for his group.
