I've never seen Naiko. We've only been talking for a month now. Hearing her stories and seeing only one picture of her showed me the pain and hurt in her eyes. The eyes never lie.
What they say is always true,
Music begins where words fail.

Chagrin (in E Minor)

I Died When She Left Me

Last week I was asked to compose soundtrack for a Drama play called "Pacific Ocean" about the immigration of an Iranian couple to Turkey and its tragic outcome for the main characters.
Special thanks to my friend Elham Shadkam and the director Zahra Bakhshpoor for trusting me and my music for their masterpiece and my own instructor Mr.Omidvar Tehrani.
I hope you enjoy these little pieces and support my work like you have always done in the past 3 years.

From my upcoming album "Nocturnal Whispers"

Shadows in My Room

Nocturnal Whispers

Sunset [Album 2018]

تمام شد.اما مگر می شود آن سه سرباز را فراموش کرد;یونس،یحیا،غباد را...
مگر می شود ترس از آسمون غرنبه ی غباد را فراموش کرد...مگر می شود غرق بی مزه بودن روزگارشان نشد...
تمام شد و دلشوره های فیروزه می ماند و نگرانی های جلال می ماند و اضطراب های ملاحت می ماند و خستگی های سامان می ماند و ...
بغض فریدون...
نور می آید...
-امیر بشیری

One of the best experiences I've ever was writing a short but deep and emotionally challenging theme for this incredible, award winning play, written by Mohammad Charmshir and directed by Amir Bashiri, one of the absolute talents in Iran.

Teaser

The whole album will be uploaded shortly.

Bagh Khooni Original Sondtrack

Leila's Theme

There she was, standing in the distance like a fading spirit. I remember all those days we spent together walking on the streets of that big busy city.I was only listening .There was no need for me to talk and she was speaking to me not by her mouth and lips but by her eyes. All I could ask for was her standing by my side, smiling. We walked for maybe an hour to the airport and there she was, standing on the other side of the passing gate. She just turned around and smiled, waved her hand at me. But to me it wasn't a goodbye. It was something even more heart-rending. Will we ever meet again?


Some material from my third album.Still incomplete.Still needs more touches of beautiful human souls who were once in my life.

Departure

Retrospect

Reminiscence

I'm a big Celer fan. The stories he writes for his music are thought provoking, meaningful and deep. I was scrolling through his bandcamp catalog and I started reading about one of his albums.
In the end of his story he says "All you want is love, all you have are memories". There, I felt the blow to my feelings and memories, remembered my own memories and the world I left as my transition from a child to an adult. The house and the corridor are an everlasting source of joy and pain for me. I just closed my eyes and had another visit of the house.

All You Have Are Memories

So finally I finished my 3rd album. Oh boy! what a journey it was. From creating layers and layers of sound and mixing them altogether to slow and pianissimo playing of my favorite instrument to live recording strings. I can't wait to share the album with you all but remember that I will not upload the whole thing here. Be sure to follow me on Spotify and other streaming platforms and also have me on your Instagram to be notified about the latest updates on my projects including the release dates of my upcoming EP and my album.

So for you to remember, I'll release one EP first, "Some Place To Be" and then the album.

Let's Not Lose This Moment

***Please support this EP by streaming it on Spotify. DO NOT pirate this track or any other piece of music without the composer's consent and permission***


The first track from my new EP "Memories of Tomorrow", released by Circa Recordings on July 7th, 2020. A collection of 2 counterpoints and another piece I wrote back in 2018 but couldn't find a publisher for. 

Forgetting has always been the hardest thing I have had to do in my life. This EP is about the things I had to forget, the things I had to let go as a result of my transition from a dreamer child with a head full of hopes and dreams to a lost adult who questions life's purpose and reason every single day. The album title signifies the memories of my past that are going to be the only thing left for me from that time for the rest of my life. Memories I'll always cherish and I'll always think about. Recollections of my past that are going to be the memories for my days to come. Memories of my tomorrows.

"The absence of sound between notes are equally as critical as the chords. This is a minimalist exercise in contrast – the composer only presents what is required to conjure deep emotions. Behzad is a natural at writing within this style and one might even compare these atmospheric pieces with the works of contemporary composers, Arvo Pärt and Max Richter." - Circa Recordings
