Electronic Music, Tar and Sehtar cover art

This pioneering collection bridges ancient Middle Eastern traditions with mid-century Western avant-garde techniques. Dariush Dolat-Shahi meticulously interweaves the delicate, acoustic plucking of traditional Iranian stringed instruments with manipulated tape loops and synthetic drone frequencies. The result is a highly meditative, cross-cultural exploration of timbre and resonance.
