DISTANT BLUE

Publisher: BARANA (Afarinesh Honar Inst.)

The blue album is a work away from Fereydoun Bahrami and Athena Eshtiaghi. Fereydoun Bahrami composed the work and Athena Eshtiaghi was present as a cellist. The album in front of you is a completely artistic and innovative piece of music. The combination of electronic music with an acoustic instrument that has a narrative mood and the presence of elements of minimalism and contemporary music are the features of this work. Blue has a gray space around it and may be considered a reflection of today’s urban life. This work will introduce you to new listening experiences and we will legally support the artists by downloading the album Abi Dour.

ALBUM NOTES

"Abi Door", an electro-acoustic album that is the result of the joint activity of a new artist (Fereydoon Bahrami) and a young but skilled soloist (Athena Eshtiaghi) is an out-of-context (context) experience of Iranian electronic music. Neither his artists have been present in the heart of this movement, nor does the aesthetics they are considering have any involvement in the events of this genre in Iran, and perhaps this is why "Far Blue" is so attractive and influential.

"Far Abi" is not fascinated by ambient music and is not overwhelmed by celebrities like "Brian Ano", nor is it placed in the spaces (styles) of "Noise" and "Outside", which may be subgenres (light sub-genres), perhaps due to the ease and restraint of their light elements. Popular are Iranian active artists. This album owes more than anything to the form and structure in the classical sense of electronic music, but due to today's look at the form and clever use of what the tools and instruments of this music provide to its owners, it has become an audible exception in Iranian music.

Athena Eshtiaqi, a musician who experiences a wide range of classics from contemporary to contemporary, is different on this album. A passion for presenting a song or music in its classical sense with the cello and possibly accompanied by Fereydoun Bahrami has tried to treat the cello as a tool to produce the appropriate "sound" in the heart of this form. And in this transition, the cello has reproduced its ancient and mythical sound in an apocalyptic atmosphere in a different way.

Fereydoon Bahrami, the composer and sound engineer of this album, has carefully used what electronic music provides to him and has described the sad, sick and black space (which is not irrelevant to our time) in order to narrate the neglected content of the described world. , The message that the cello reads; Freedom, love, affection or whatever is a derivative of these concepts.

It goes without saying that the careful processing of this album also leads to conservatism. When the album is over, you miss a bolder piece in the duo's potential. Of course, this is a two-sided debate. Perhaps this conservative precision has led to the production of defensible products in Iranian music.
