Biography




Eka Chabashvili


 A young Georgian composer  E. Chabashvili's main compositions are 2 ballets and works for instrumental theatre, chamber compositions for different musical instruments, plays for orchestra, for guitar, for choir, for organ, multimedia Idea of God - Spheres.
She said: The Georgian Composers Live at the Cross of Space and Time and really, her creation is full of European and non-European cultural musical traditions.E. Chabashvili uses the new techniques of XX century's professional academic music, such as random structure, sonorous, and parts of polystylistic forms. At the same time, in her works you come across the meditative dramaturgy, static kind of composition. She pays attention not how to develop the musical materials in time, but to its improvisational-variation development in space.
Karlhainz Stockhausen describs her creation like this:
In her works she creates timbre-theatrical pieces, compositions. Often, coming from the verbal music she creates rhythmic-melodic intonation compositions of oratory-artistic nature. Eka's composition technique is quete unique and interesting Her music is intuitively and her scores are based on the principle 'repeat and vary'.

And when the music of the confluence bodies is sounded, we hear the Symphony of the Life;
And the sound of this Symphony has power to split the sky and spread in the cosmos.
And this symphony transformed in energy of the love is spilt through the "Cleft in the Sky" back to the sounded bodies."
