« À mes yeux, à la croisée de l’univers intelligible de l’esprit et de l’univers sensible de la perception naissent d'autres réalités. Mon dessein est d’encourager l’auditeur à découvrir ce monde médian. En éliminant les limites imposées par le temps et l’espace, je mets à l’épreuve, au sein d’une écriture résolument contemporaine, des éléments empruntés à mon riche bagage culturel d’origine, mais aussi à d’autres époques historiques et des traditions lointaines. Pour construire mon langage musical, j’ai reçu, entre Téhéran, Paris et Genève, l’enseignement de Alireza Mashayekhi, Gérard Pesson, Denis Dufour, Édith Canat de Chizy, Michael Jarrell, Luis Naón et Éric Daubresse. En 2015, je complète ma formation au Cursus d’Ircam. »
