Visioner is a symphonic poem that unfolds not as a linear narrative, but as an auditory experience of a timeless world. In this work, time is not treated as a measurable quantity, but as a mode of presence—one in which events do not succeed one another chronologically, but coexist within an open and shared space. The composition opens with distant, unseen vocal sounds that function neither as characters nor as narrators. Rather, they operate as an act of calling—an auditory gesture addressed to those who are willing to hear and to see. These voices mark a transition from the concrete toward the unbounded, opening a space in which reality and imagination gradually merge.
As the work unfolds, the listener is drawn into a timeless domain where surreal states emerge not as dramatic events, but as successive layers of experience. The music moves through a boundless field in which orientation dissolves, and the sensation of being lost appears not as absence or lack, but as a release from fixed structures. The vocal parts do not represent individual identities; instead, they embody human freedom as an existential condition. They articulate an enduring inner resilience—a persistence of freedom across changing circumstances, without capitulation.
In the final section, the music gradually returns to the present moment. This return is marked by lightness, as if the encounter with another reality had only briefly touched the lived world before withdrawing once more into concealment. The work is dedicated to the Bahá’ís and to all free people of the world. The work was performed in November 2024 by the DKDM Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anu Tali.
