ICD-11: Bc9z

ICD-11: Bc9z was created through a close collaboration between composer Ramin Amin Tafreshi and audio-visual composer Soheil Shayesteh. The piece is composed for solo bassoon and live electronics.

ICD-11 refers to the eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). In ICD-11: Bc9z, Bc9z represents the code for cardiac arrhythmia. The concept for the piece emerged from our collaboration with bassoon player Thomas Dulfer, who was then working on a music album titled 'Palpitations,' focusing on the theme of the heart both literally and figuratively.
