The lullaby (Lalai) is a piece originally made for a performance called "Picture of Resistance" and performed at the "Magacin Art Gallery" in Belgrade. The event, which was planned independently, featured the piece, along with other pieces of my colleagues, all of whom had moved to Belgrade to perform Marina Abramovic's work.

Certainly, the collaboration with Marina Abramovic has been very influential for all of us, but that performance was inspired by the protest and spontaneous movement of "the Girls of Enghelab Street", and that work is dedicated to them and all Iranian women in their fight, struggle and resistance. All these years have been and will be oppressed. It is the direct and indirect (symbolic) message of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, and freedom of dressing (hijab).

At that performance, the audience shows interest in the piece, and I received many requests to send the music to them, so I decided to make this shorter version just for listening and share it with everyone.

The music is based on a Persian folklore lullaby, but it is a combination of several genres and cultures of different music, which I call it Transcultural Electroacoustic Music.
The lullaby is repeated over time of this piece and tells an unclear story that the listener can perceive with their own perceptions.

I hope that one day these pains will be healed, even though the wounds will remain.
Hoping for peace and freedom for all,
Alireza Ostovar

.لالایی، قطعه‌ای است که در ابتدا برای یک اجرای پرفورمنس به اسم "تصویر مقاومت" ساخته شد
،آن اجرا از حرکت اعتراضی و خود جوش “دختران خیابان انقلاب” الهام گرفته شد و آن کار هم تقدیم شده به آنها و تمام زنانِ ایرانی برای مبارزه، تلاش و مقاومتشان در طی تمام این سال‌ها که به آنها ظلم شده است و میشود. آن اثر پیامش به طور مستقیم و غیر مستقیم (سمبلیک) آزادی بیان، آزادی عقیده، و آزادی پوشش (حجاب) است
.موسیقی این کار بر اساس یک لالایی فلکلر (محلی) ساخته شده است
.این قطعه‌ موسیقی تلفیقی است از چند سبک و فرهنگ موسیقی مختلف
این آواز در طول زمانِ این قطعه، تکرار میشود و
.داستانی غیر واضح را روایت می‌کند، که شنونده میتواند آن را با فهم و تصورات خود دریافت کند
.امیدوارم که روزی این درد‌ها خوب شوند، هر چند جای زخم‌ها باقی میماند
،به امید صلح و آزادی برای همه
