Sound Collage VII: Saqi-Nameh (2015)
“Saqi”, is a term used in Farsi to refer to the person who serves or provides wine. There is a whole sub-genre or rather a musical form of poetry and music called “Saqi-Nameh”, which revolves around addressing a Saqi. The Saqi could range in meaning from a divine force to a common dealer.I have collected…
Sound Collage VI: Forooghi – Banan (2015)
In this collage, I experimented with the idea of two musical universes colliding and interchanging forces. I chose two great Iranian tenors, Maestro GholamHossein Banan, a traditional music legend, and Fereydoon Forooghi, a famous rock singer. Banan’s voice is velvety and flows like a river, while Forooghi’s has a strong, sturdy presence. Both pieces have…
Sound Collage V: Morgh-e Sahar (2015)
In this collage, I have worked on arguably the most famous Persian song, “Morgh-e Sahar” (The Dawn Bird, loosely translated). This piece became an iconic anthem of liberty thanks to the first recording made by the legendary female singer, Qamar, which I had already visited in Sound Collage IV. From 1980s, the repetitive performances of…
Sound Collage IV: Four Miniatures (2015)

Sound Collage III: An Aural History of Iran (2015)

The third collage aimed to tell the story of a quarter-century of Iranian history in sound. I collected a big archive of sound clips and started shortlisting them and omitting…
Sound Collage II (2013)
In an attempt to recreate a work similar to the first collage, more than a decade later, I made the second one. My aim was to play with the listeners’ expectations and as a result, I focused on very Persian popular tunes, with a couple of less known gems. I didn’t include the composers and…
Sound Collage I (1998-99?, lost)
I always had an interest in the editing process of audio and video. My first experimentation with editing goes back to days of manually pause/recording a double deck cassette player or a handycam and VHS recorder. The first meaningful work I did in these series was a laborious collage of many famous Persian songs, with…
