Autopilot was a project that I started to force myself to become active in producing music, as a way of distracting myself from the stressful days I was experiencing at the time. I only had Saturdays and Sundays to spend on the project. Autopilot was a 10 week long commitment, and the result is the first 10 individual tracks. The ones after Autopilot 10 are an extension of the project later at a different time.

I have used my iPhone 4s's microphone to record sounds from my instruments (guitar, ukulele, setar, drums and harmonica). After recording the sounds mixed the lines using Adobe Audition. 

Even thinking about using Adobe Audition in that way again terrifies me!

Lady Chanticleer - SWANA Psychedelic Mix

GOHAR X GRAIL presents a sonic exploration of the influence of birdsong on the development of the music of Iran, Ireland (Éirinn), Scotland, and the North Caucasus for the first installment of our residence with Beshknow. Gathering music that invokes birds through lyric and aural birdsong mimicry, this mix unites both traditional and experimental approaches to instrumentation and song, examining the figure of the bird across culture and time. Featuring traditional dōtar music from Khorasan, Iran, and piping from throughout the Gaelic world; vocal recordings from avant-garde musicians as broad as Hanna Tuulikki and Joan La Barbara; contemporary bird-mimetic electronic compositions; and field recordings from Canna, Scotland, the North Caucausus, and the shores of Devon, we traverse broad skies through the lens of the Gaelic ceòl, or music: literally ‘a sound like the sound birds make.’ Part I of II.

Recap Season 3 & 4 By DJ Chos Nafas

Bunker is a collaborative music project that started as Autopilot's personal endeavor in 2015. In 2016, KAL joined the project during a busy period of grad school, immigration, and adjusting to new life circumstances.

With their diverse musical backgrounds, Bunker creates a sound that blends electronic elements with influences from TripHop and Funk. Most of their tracks feature instrumental sampling and carry deeply personal stories, functioning as an audio journal that reflects their experiences and emotions.

People involved:

Saman Abdullahi (https://soundcloud.com/autopilotproject)
Arash Roshani (https://soundcloud.com/arash-roshani)

Saman (designer) and Arash (physicist) are amateur musicians born and raised in Tehran, Iran. They started writing and playing music together in high school with a group of friends. After years of navigating immigration challenges—Saman in Calgary and Arash in Los Angeles—they incidentally reunited in the summer of 2016 and continued their musical collaboration.
