Mehrdad Kanani - Forgotten Conversation (Dewtone)

WHAT WE SAY:

A lot of experimental Middle Eastern music I stumble across tends to the harsh & noisy. Perhaps it was Mehrdad Kanani's relief at finally leaving the Tehran rat race, the fact he ended up in the beautiful Hyrcanian forests or likely a combination, but his new LP for Dewtone is a lovely ambient listen; it certainly sounds like he made the right decision.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

A collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Mehrdad Kanani.

"This album stemmed from a desire to escape urban life in Tehran and reconnect with the natural world.

Tired of life in the city, I quit my job and moved into the mountainous areas of northern Iran where I spent a year finding and feeling the truth in the Hyrcanian forests, an 800 kilometer long of ancient natural broad-leaved forests.

All these sounds recorded and created between the Hyrcanian forests and near the Caspian sea where I inspired a lot by nature and living alone during 2018-2019."
