In 2018 he graduated from the Institute of Sonology. In addition, he also actively collaborates in select projects with artists from other disciplines.

Dark and experimental tones resonate throughout, echoing the depth and complexity of its origins. This glitchy electronic music seems to capture the very essence of Iran's current situation, serving as a sonic reflection of its intricate dynamics and emotions. It's precisely the kind of sound one might anticipate arising from such circumstances, masterfully blending art with the pulse of contemporary events. ghalamdar

This complition of Iranian artists is absolutely mindblowing. So many styles of Experimental Ambient and Electronic compositions. Each artist on the release molds their own uniqueness into their track. Overall, Visions of Darkness is a must have for any avant-garde music fan. Gwynncore
