Nemigam Nemishe (Jetpack ft. Makan Ashgvari)

Feragh is about when you fall for someone although you know you'll be apart. Simply because you don't live in the same city. Either you or they are travelling, but you open your heart, to the pain of being apart.

Sorry seems to be the hardest word (Elton John cover)

It was composed for a theater named "a very very short story of a very very long life" by Tara Fatehi Irani and Sarah Feli. It's a fantasy, full of small paper creatures. I used the sounds I recorded and no other samples or electronic sounds are used.

Love

A cover of Nina Simone. It was included as bonus track in the album "Hejdah"

Sinnerman

Screamin' Jay Hawkins song in my version. It's a work in progress.
