Statement

Amirkasra Zandian, born in 1985 in Teheran, grew up in a musician family.

His father, Amirhossein Zandian, a magnificent Violinist, Kamancheh-player & composer, his uncle Amir Babak Rokni, master of the Tombak, impressed him already in his childhood. He started playing Tombak at the age of 5 & this decision changed his life.

Today Amirkasra lives in Vienna where he visited the school & has gone to university.

Meeting Nariman Hodjaty, the master of the Persian lute named "Taar", becomes the turning point of his musical career. Sharing music extended not only Amirkasras world of experience, but also connected him deeper with his musical roots. By many years of cooperation the both have become an inseparable musical duet of the persian classical music.

In 2010 Amirkasra got to know Oliver Steger, a brilliant double-bass player. This date is the birth of the project S.O.D.A. Together with the singer Sarah Lisa Bidner and keyboarder Dieter Stemmer they are going to present thier first album in 2012.

As a Percussionist, above all as a Tombak/Daf player Amirkasra is involved in numerous Worldmusic-Projects. He is a creative soloist as well as a loyal Percussionist in ensembles. He himself sees the highest art in the mutual musical communication, hence, his musical sensitiveness is an enrichment for European / Persian ensembles.
