[Album] Addressing Butterflies | 2019 🇬🇧🇮🇷
In the booklet of the CD we read:
" Like a sole mate, a passionate listener, “music” sits by the poet living side by side, experiencing a counterpoint to the poet’s voice as a contrast or sometimes as a continuation of the poetry.
Surpassing the common concept of short breathed phrases in traditional Iranian music, mostly encapsulated in Goosheh (short melodic recourses in traditional music) and instead, replacing it with composed-longer musical phrases (in contrast to mostly improvised tradition) draws the attention to the overall structure of every phrase rather than focusing on short, ornamental details, as if looking at an Impressionistic Painting from a distance.
The choice of a solo instrument among all no other than Santour to accompany time, silence, and the breath of the poet’s voice all in all creates the core idea of the method the composer has decided to manifest as the approach to create this artwork. "

[Album] Iranian New Waves, Vol. I | 2020
“Iranian New Waves” is a unique project whose goal is to present over fifty new compositions for solo flute created by established contemporary Iranian composers. The history of music-making throughout Persia over millennia has contributed to the rich repertoire of contemporary Iranian music.
The composers featured in this project have drawn from this distinguished heritage to expand upon the flute repertoire, each with their own unique approach. While these composers are currently living in various nations around the world, all of them are of Iranian descent and continue to have a significant influence upon the development of contemporary music in Iran. This anthology of music encompasses a vast array of inspirational influences extending from village shepherd music to the hustle and bustle of today’s metropolitan cities; from the words of Persian poets and philosophers to Western cultural influences. The compositions on this album have either been newly commissioned or they are preexisting works that have not previously been released.
