Darb-i Fetih - "Moment of Conquest" - is a composition for space, stage, Internet and radio. The piece takes place equally at all levels. The idea was born of the concept of mixing languages in a musical fashion. By using classical Turkish rhythmic patterns and European melodies and constructions a mixture of the two musical perspectives takes place. "Process: How do I get from thinking in language to playing the piano?" Rhythm, the treatment of language with rhythmic sense, and less so the content of the language, plays an especially important role in this radio piece. Starting from the "language beat" installation in the "Alten Schmiede" (Artothek), Rupert Huber has become deeply involved in the connections and transitions between language, samples, loops, rhythm and tones - all the way to the relationship of certain tones with certain rhythms, "that`s where I am right now... an open process..." From the individual modules, which were woven into each other, compartmentalized and looped during a 5-month process, new modules are developed - "it always works in a circle..." and the base material for the radio composition is created. The modules can be shifted in and next to each other, both vertically and horizontally, ìwhat started with a one minute version of "Miles & Emily" has now developed into an entire orchestra..." without departing from the idea of construction of random sounds according to the basic structures of classical Turkish patterns of rhythm. "Rhythm is important to me. I like working with ethnic sounds, but I don`t want to make ìworld music", which is one of the reasons that I base my work on language materials." The loop score book is simultaneously the score and a multi-media novel about the time in which the piece is created.
