Reward of Silence made it possible to pay homage to the magic wind instrument duduk. When the director of Friday's Soldiers painted the world of his movie for me, I started composing the score in a way that was diametrically opposed to the geography and lore of its setting. In A Piece of Bread I was inspired by a long forgotten maqam called Sahari, revived by my friend and cousin Kiya Tabassian. It allowed me to enter an abstract world of ancient music. All these were opportunities that the magic screen afforded me.

Tatari - Hooshyar Khayam
Total Time 53:07
 
   Tatari is a collection of compositions for piano intended as  concert pieces, challenging the pianist with difficult but fluent  techniques.
   Some fall into the known collections traceable to Bach’s Well  Tempered Klavier, some to the roots of Persian Folklore in its  abrupt formal structure, its obstinacy, and its fluid inner rhythm,  some enjoying techniques of mute notes and complex rhythms  close to the music of the Boushehr musical style of the Persian  Gulf region as well as vibrant pieces in the spirit of the music of   Ravi Shankar and Hossein Alizadeh, though on a Western    instrument.
  The seriousness of expression and abstract structure, its new    as well as old pianism, and its roots deep in Persian music, deserves critical attention to Tatari.

Journey is the fruit of collaboration between two musicians, Massoud Shaari, a traditional Iranian musician and a virtuoso of Persian setar and Christophe Rezaï, a French-Iranian composer of European culture.
Journey is introduced under the form of five pieces for Setar evoking four different modalities and therefore four different ambiences of traditional Persian music. 
The Indian tabla (played by the Indian Darshan Jotsingh Anand), closely linked to the setar, takes us further to the east towards Indian tradition, which has many common points with Persian music.
Furthermore the accompaniment by classical or contemporary orchestral formations such as Strings, Electric Jazz Guitar, Sound Effects... takes us to the west towards the "European musical tradition" of the 21st century.
Somehow it is a journey across the world of Indo-European cultures.

The story  of Creation is the most important chapter in the mythology of the Babylonian civilization. Based on an ancient Sumerian tale, the order of the universe was built upon a dramatic confrontation between a Dragon-shaped creature who ruled the darkness, storms and the seas, and Mardukh, the God of Babylon. After over forcing the devil-hearted Dragon, Mardukh created the sky and the stars, the trees, animals and finally mankind.Genesis is formed in three separate parts: Genesis, Universe, Life .
Genesis, the album, is a remarkable experiment, using the diverse sound generating capabilities of Iran's traditional Drum, the Tombak. Navid Afghah, a young talented musician and Tombak player, tells the story of Creation by making a unique and colorful ambience with his instrument.
All sounds generated in this album are natural and no synthetic processes were used to create the ambience. The sounds are generated using 5 to 18 separate Tombaks in different shapes and skins.

  Rock Music is the son of industrial and modern communities. A style which its presence could not be denied in Iran as well. We always searched for a kind of Rock Music which was initiated from the heart of our own society and not just imported from the western world. By using folk melodies and traditional basements, Barad tried to blend its music with such an idea. An experience which is making its primary steps.
