- Overview
Cinna Peyghamy, a Paris-based, French-Iranian composer and sound artist, joins Mahmood Schricker on electric setar, Naghmeh Farahmand on tombak and special guest Neda Mohamadpour on vocals for this edition of the Experimental Link Series.
Perpetually blurring the boundaries between acoustic and electronic instruments, Cinna Peyghamy’s tombak, a traditional Persian goblet drum, is enhanced by the sonic possibilities of a modular synthesizer. Similarly, Mahmood Schricker has transformed his setar into an electronic instrument, integrating minimal ambient music with noise and effects to expand the possibilities for Persian music. Naghmeh Farahmand has adapted to many styles of playing, alongside traditional Iranian, as one of Canada’s top percussionists. With her mesmerizing voice, Neda Mohamadpour is one of Toronto’s up-and-coming vocalists. Together, these four artists will take the audience on a sonic journey backed by the live visuals of multidisciplinary artist and designer Andrew O’Connor.
Link Music Lab gratefully acknowledges the generous support of Canadian Heritage, the Toronto Arts Council and the Ontario Arts Council.
Experimental Link Series contemplates the Persian-Canadian experience by reinvigorating, re-exploring and re-imagining Persian traditional music within contemporary and cosmopolitan Toronto by inviting different musicians from the diaspora to collaborate and perform together. The series will explore connections between identity, culture and musical creation.
