MASHAYEKHI, Ali Reza:

   Born in Tehran (1940), is one of the first Iranian composers who has pioneered modern music in Iran. His works have been performed in Iran and abroad  for more than thirty five years.
   His most important teachers have been Ophelia Kombajian (Piano) and Hans Jelinek (Composition). His acquaintance with Hans Jelinek encouraged him to explore a wide spectrum of 20^th century music. Alireza Mashayekhi believes that we can discover  the truth only through multi logical structures of artistic thought, this being the only way we can encompass the contradictions that “truth” carries in itself. He argues that by abandoning sequential problem solving that has indisputably dominated “logic”, especially since Newton, we are able to pursue simultaneously a number of X’s. He therefore calls his own way of structuring music the “quest for meta X”. He introduces this kind of search in the following pieces in his Iranian Orchestra for New Music Album: Symposium , String Quartet III, Symphony No.8, Celebration.
