Growing up while moving to a new city or country every year wasn't an easy task for a young child. I always had to adapt to the environment I was living in in order to live with a positive mind-set. Accepting where you are in life is crucial to finding your path in life. This is my journey of 'Adapt & Accept Pt.2'

"The Lamaj Movement" - May 2012, features 12 original compositions based on my nomadic life thus far (Iran, Belarus, Germany, USA, Canada). Each track is a piece of memory taken at one point during our travels. Phew what a trip!

Music also available on iTunes, Amazon, emusic, etc.

Buy!

Adapt & Accept Part 2

This is my second electronic release. I was trying to sleep one day and thought to myself that I should write some music to fall asleep to. This was the end result. I fall asleep to it every night now :)

Movement II- Vasat

Here's an improvisation I did at 2am during the recording of "The Ziur Movement". It's inspired by Persian modes.

This was recorded for my first demo in 2006 entitled "Demo 2006". It has up to 6 guitars at some parts harmonizing with each other.

This album is available on iTunes!

This one goes out to someone special. I wrote it in 2004 (my third year with the guitar) after moving to Canada and getting into classical guitar. I recently revisited it and upgraded some of the parts. Enjoooy. 

This was played on a very special Cole Clark Triumph Bunya Top Queensland Maple back and sides. It has a new 3 way pickup system which sounds amazing!

Southern Magnolia

What does it mean to find yourself? Do we ever reach the point of pure fulfillment from within? I wrote this one with these questions in mind. Its an adventure to search for what cannot be found only in abstract ways... but thats why I write music. To get as close as I can to it.

Enjoy this new electronic track, got a pretty cinematic feel and thought I'd put it up! No guitars incorporated yet but my next compositions will have em. 

Electronic - To Be Found

There's nothing better than playing a peaceful improvisation during a time of reflection and absorbing life as is. I know I haven't played too much electric lately with the new acoustic guitar CD out now but I'm glad to be hitting it again with raw emotions and of course being free of any kind of stress. This is my goal in life, express what can't be through music.

Ever since I got my first guitar and sat with it for the first time in 2001, I improvised. I have been improvising and letting myself loose since then and thought this may be a cool new series to show you all not only my compositions but my present feelings as I improvise. Hope you can feel what I was trying to say with these.

Awakening

Sorry about the delay in uploading a new improvisation. I've had a busy lil life with the acoustic guitar but felt damn good to let this out. I really like the way this one came out. It has potential for a composition that I may start working on. I write most of my songs based off improvisations so who knows, maybe you'll hear some of these motifs in a new tune soon! Let me know your thoughts on this one.

My family struggled in every country we lived in, before claiming refuge in Canada, our final journey. But as a teenager, nothing was harder than leaving the U.S. after nine years and with only 30 days notice. This is the story of 'Us Against Them'.
