There is a point of levitation in a thoroughbred Arabian horse's run when the rider needs to adjust the velocity of their gaze and find the still point on the horizon. The word in my mother tongue which describes this moment is "jezditi" which means "to touch the stars on a horse".

The experience of this moment of kinetic and spiritual freedom is at the core of my inspiration for this piece. It is also an account of a dark episode in the history of the Arabian horse breeding farm "Borike" in the mountains of my homeland.

Svjetlana Bukvich-Nichols is one of Sarajevo's premier music figures. A "force in new music" (American Festival of Microtonal Music), Svjetlana alchemizes old with new in a superbly original, yet accessible voice. Her genre-bending works span from acoustic and performer-driven to electronic and theatrical. They often include movement, video, voice, and tuning of her design. An innovator in hybrid electronic sound, Svjetlana composes, produces, and performs with a unique musical sensibility informed by the cities she has lived in, including Edinburgh, Boston, Addis Ababa, and her native Sarajevo.
Billed as a "concert composer/performer whose music defies boundaries" (ASCAP), she has appeared at major performance spaces in New York and across the country, and internationally including Beijing, London, South Africa and Copenhagen.
