This composition unfolds as segments of a traditional Palestinian lullaby are integrated into the themes of longing. The mother tenderly narrates cheerful tales to lull her child to sleep. Promising delights and sweets as the child succumbs to slumber, the mood takes a poignant turn. The mother articulates a heartfelt melancholy, a deep yearning for her homeland, and a longing for her loved ones. Within this composition, I have chosen portions of the song, rearranged the structure, and seamlessly incorporated it with the Buzuq's samples of different timbres and characters. Additionally, I present the Buzuq's acoustic sound while utilizing the Magic motion sensor with conventional and unconditional gestures to trigger and manipulate these samples. The piece entailed a partnership with the Palestinian singer, Amal Murkus.
