"Eine Tasse Kaffee"
"Angra Spenta: The Condition of Being Double"
Twin sound pieces

Shohreh Jandaghian on “Eine Tasse Kaffee” und “Angra Spenta: The Condition of Being Double”:
"Eine Tasse Kaffee" (A Cup of Coffee) and "Angra Spenta: The Condition of Being Double" are twin sound pieces composed in two different places and times. The idea of shaping an acoustic duality originates from the Old Persian Mythology. The confrontation of two opposing forces, that is the falsehood (Angra) and the truth (Spenta), causes the circle of existence. As long as this juxtaposition between the positive and the negative prevails the dynamics of the universe exist. Only if one of the two forces conquers the other in its entirety the world ends. That is the moment one may at last relish "a cup of coffee" in peace!
Persian Poet Omar Khayyam – 11th Century:
Good and evil, our moral prison,?
Joy and sorrow passing like season,
Fate in the way of logic and reason
Is the victim of far worse treason.
