Exquisite Pain (la Douleur Exquise)

Sevan Shahmirian is an IDM music artist, Composer, Music Producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Yerevan, Armenia.
Sevan was born in Tehran, Iran, in a diasporan Armenian family. From a very young age, he started playing the keyboard and as he got older, he started singing in the school choir per his father’s suggestion. He started his professional career in music in 2007 with the band Wednesday Call in Tehran, Iran. He was the lead Synthesizer player and vocalist. After three albums with Wednesday Call, in 2018 he moved to Armenia and continued his career as solo artist and shifted his work from Rock to Electronic music.
Sevan’s first album will release on august 21, 2021. This album is called Fractals and is consist of seven songs; they are concerned with Sevan’s personal characteristics.
1-KOMITAS : The first and foremost person of importance for Sevan is Komitas. A Armenian Priest, musical theorist, composer, orchestra leader, instrument player, master of educational science… This is why he named his first song of the album after him. The voice of Komitas can be heard in this piece, he’s reciting a piece of Lory Gutenberg and after it is finished, the song enters a modern dimension; as if Sevan opens a portal from the familiar simplicity into modernity and prepares the listener to take a journey into the depths of the album. 
2-ECHO : The four-minute instrumental energy boost makes you move. This is what Sevan does to his pupils as an athletic coach. Sevan has made this song using his fans’ point of view; an energetic and athletic man, and a bit hot-headed. At the end of the song, the voice of Benoit Mandelbrot, a French-American mathematician who is named the father of Fractal Geometry, is utilized.
3-SPURIOUS OBSESSION : Spurious Obsession is Electronica/Downtempo and it is without vocals but it utilizes the voice of Alan Watts, British-American philosopher, writer and scholar; it talks about anxiety. The melody is relatively chill but carries some anxiety with it; as if someone who has been struggling with anxiety is talking. Sevan has suffered from Hypochondriasis not long ago and he talked about it in the musical form.
4-FORMIDABLE : The eight-minute-long Formidable is Electronica/Downtempo. Sevan believes this song is just like him in his characteristics, he feels it with his flesh and bone. He has written the lyrics himself, only four lines but deep, Sevan wrote that for his own path going forward and himself; although he believes anyone can interpret the lyrics as they see fit for their lives.
5-DOZE : Doze is placed in Electronica/Downtempo genre, can also be considered Chill music. Sevan believes Doze to be the chilliest song in the album and it helps to digest the rest of the six songs like peppermint! The soothing voice of a girl singing Armenian Folk music will remind you of your childhood naps, as is suggested by the title of the song. The singer is Parik Nazarian,
a well-known Folk artist.
6-WHERE DO WE GO : This is the only protest song of the album. A protest to modernization of everything, control and even the cells of the body. This is the second and last piece where Sevan sings vocals. It gets more interesting: Sevan had written this piece before the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet the lyrics are completely relevant.  
7-ALBATROSS : The last song of the album that conveys the feeling of an albatross flying over a foggy sea; a flight that Sevan saw with his own eyes over the Sevan Lake of Armenia and was immediately drawn to it. Finally, the very last recorded voice of Farhad Mehrdad, a legendary Iranian musician, was used because Sevan’s utmost respect towards him.

Nesa - Sounds Of Tehran (WeTransfer Present)

"Layers of lights mingling with black, grey, green and brown, embrace the discourse as “Cell”s, then all tinted dreamy alchemy levitate in a condensed golden – silvery Skepticism; or prepared contrasts fade away in an innocent rejuvenating youthfulness. Such feisty raw minimalism invokes in cosmos, reflecting none, whirlpools and cascades down in a surreal abstract etherical resonance. 
Kayvan Mirhadi"

Born in Tehran, 1991, the now Paris- based Vocalist/ Lyricist/ Composer, "Sara Bigdeli Shamloo" (aka SarrSew) , is one-half of the duo "9T Antiope" since 2014 and together they've had releases on multiple labels such as "PTP (Purple Tape Pedigree)", "Eilean Rec.", "Hallow Ground", "Zabte Sote/ Opal Tapes", "Flaming Pines", "Unperceived Records" and an upcoming project on "American Dreams":Initially starting music as a classical
violin player, she became the vocalist of "Migrain Sq." alongside "Nima Aghiani" -the other half of "9T Antiope"- and "Pouya Pour-Amin", back in 2011. A second duo she has recently created with Nima Aghiani in 2020, is “Taraamoon” which focuses more on alternative electronic music with lyrics in Farsi. As "SarrSew", other than her solo works, throughout the years she'd produced a number of creations for theatre and film; also active as a performer, she acts and occasionally illustrates. As a result of her -abandoned- studies of Theatre Directing at "Tehran University" -also/perhaps- her music is a melange of storytelling, dramatic lyrics and vocals woven together with electronics and acoustic instruments.
As of 2018, she's been producing a multimedia project, an Album/Monologue/Performance, "Loss in The Living Room: An Homage To Death".
