Inspired by the poem by Rumi, Hilat which translates roughly to "doubt" is about letting go of hesitation and doubt and just going with your heart and step into the heart of the fire like a moth drawn into the light. The song starts in a depressing mood and without much hope resembling the doubt and anxiety we sometimes feel in life and then it transforms into a hopeful ending coming to an explosive end like a moth madly going into the light. 
lyrics
حیلت رها کن عاشقا دیوانه شو دیوانه شو
و اندر دل آتش درآ پروانه شو پروانه شو

HIlat

Love Amidst War

MOJ is an electronic project by the Toronto composer and producer Pouya Hamidi. It is an exploration of Hamidi’s unique acoustic and electronic toolkit. The project moves through his knowledge and experience in film scoring, orchestral and operatic composition, sound recording, classical piano, traditional Persian music, “world” music, and electronic music. Synchronized lights accompany the live performance and make the experience visually and sonically integrated. The music of MOJ reflects the contemporary clash of organic with industrial.
