“Biyah (Come), my Darvish” is an invitation...
The aim of my Music is not recreational. It is a Spirit(ual) tool. It is meant to instill a pause in your day, for you to close your eyes, reconnect with the eternal flame of the heart, to induce a trance, to lose the mind... re-presencing and re-establishing relations with your inner eternal Flame. When we clear ourselves of the static, the guidance is clear.

Biyah, My Darvish

A CA born 1st generation American, Alexander was raised on "sonati" folk Persian music. Classically trained by Vahid-Reza Bayat in the lineage of Maestro Darvish-Khan and Maestro Lotfi.
Alexander uses the foundations of Persian music "Radif" modal systems and with his distinguished sound, uniquely incorporates them with electronic soundscapes to induce trance states and a deep sense of heart presence in listeners. These ancient modal systems and melodies are a science of the heart, which Alexander hopes to continue introducing to western ears. 
The Persian Tar is a Spiritual tool. His music has become his Yoga (union), and with nicknaming his instrument "Tara", has established himself in "TaraYoga".
