Various - Persian Electronic Music- Yesterday And Today 1966- 2006

From ALIREZA MASHAYEKHI to ATA EBTEKAR/SOTE, the quantum leap of the very unknown electronic music composed in Iran from the Sixties til
today. Two Iranian music masters who work (mainly) on ancestral structures to create something radically new.
Alireza Mashayekhi : was born in 1940 in Tehran, Iran. He is one of the pioneers of modern music in Iran.
Ata Ebtekar aka Sote : is an electronic composer, sound artist and recording engineer. SOTE is interested in keeping the tuning of Persian classical
scales (Radif) and melodies from old Persian folk songs within a new electronic framework. He has released several cds and vinyls on Dielectric/RLR, Spundae and especially on Warp.
