Not Anymore

Roshi ft. Pars Radio is the "experimental folk-pop-sound- art project" created around the beautiful voice, original compositions and individual interpretations of Iranian material of Roshi Nasehi and features percussionist producer Graham Dids (Gagarin, Nico, Cale, Pere Ubu). 
Born in Wales to Iranian parents, Roshi Nasehi is a singer-composer-sound artist who presents her own evocative vocal pieces alongside sometimes quite radical interpretations of the Iranian songs she was brought up listening to. Her compositions reflect her origins, influences and experiences in a personal and unique way incorporating vocal effects and loops, unusual instrumental arrangements, field recordings and atmospheres. Her voice is airy and tender but possessed of an inner power. 
When she interprets Iranian song it is in a personal style bringing a contemporary twist combined with an authentic understanding of context and language... 
The duo have released a number of records to significant airplay (BBC Radio 3, 6 Music, RTE)and widespread acclaim including The Quietus, The Wire, The Independent, New Internationalist, Songlines, Rock n Reel, Q, DJ Magazine, PRS M Magazine and twice experimental record of the month in Mixmag who described Roshi as "one of the most singular voices working at the moment"
Roshi is a featured artist in Dr. Pamela Burnard's book Musical Creativities In Practice and has received several prestigious commissions including BBC Radio 3, So & So Circus Theatre, Birds Eye View for whom she created a live score to Mary Pickford's 1918 feature 'Amarilly Of Clothes Line Alley' as part of the Southbank 2012 WOW festival and most recently from Sound And Music with the British Council to create and present public sound art in Kuwait in May 2014.
