Anarbanoo OST- 3

Changing Memories- For Santoor

Changing Memories- For Cello

Composed and recorded it during Covid lockdown. Ander was kind enough to make a video clip for it. Will post the link here.

Midnight Gardens

Mahsa composed it. I did the technical part and recorded it. So far, I think, it's the best piece we've made together. Recorded during covid lockdown. Sounds dark, but it's hopeful.

Imperfections

He came to visit Montreal with some of his friends. All were around and so it was very noisy at that moment when he sat behind the piano and just randomly played something. No body, I'm pretty sure, could hear what's being played at it was just once and then we went out to have lunch at Schwartz's. I, very randomly, recorded it and he insisted that I stop recording since all sounds very bad. Today, after 5 months almost, I was listening to an audoiobook and as soon as it ended, some delicate piano music started to play. I wondered what could it be... and the moment ( noticed the file name and the date: "hesam's rec with 8 friends" everything became obvious. Couldn't help not sharing it... 

The end of summer

To leave again

On the nature of distance. 
This piece is a reflection on the sense of loneliness and belonging, on distance and longing. Mahsa has taken the picture. On our way from Philadelphia to Rochester.

On the Nature of Distance

The Waves

I made it three years ago, in Tehran, as a part of my unofficial album "the snow between us". It's a dance- a Persian-Satian dance. (Satian refers to Erik Satie). 

Wholeheartedly dedicated to Mahsa. 

Dance me

On Keyhan Kalhor's "Shab, Sokoot, Kavir" theme. روی یک تم از شب، سکوت، کویر از کیهان کلهر

Night, Silence, and the Stars

It's the feature track of an album with the same title "the snow between us", which I recorded for Mahsa. It was the first time I was doing so, and hopefully, not the last!

2010 was really a cool year for composing stuff, well under lots of pressure of course.

Thanks to Abbas Nadim for recording. 

The snow between us

Composed and recorded by Hosein Maleki. Recorded in Philadelphia, April 2020.

Etude in SeaGreen

Nightwalk

Composed it a few months ago with Mahsa. Most of the ideas here are hers: designed each layer carefully and drafted the progression. Today I share it because I now understand what it describes. There are brief, dark moments in everyone's' lives: when there's something broken inside but the heart is still full and life moves on. This is our reflection on one such moment.
