There is no turning back!
"Our choices determine the destiny of the world. with every choice we make, we alter the structure of reality."
We have chosen to be freed without anyone making doubts about the bright day of victory.
It feels impossible to do anything during this extraordinary ongoing Revolution, and yet we manage to push through the walls.
Honk your Horns and Tear down the SILENCE with NOISE.
To Woman, Life, Freedom.

101 - Arshan Najafi - BOOGH Symphony Electronique

experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.
