Parsa Hadavi, born in 1995, Gorgan Iran. He is a composer–researcher mainly focusing on the field of ecologies and its approaches to musical creation and composition. He is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in architecture and astrophysics. His interest in science led him to develop a compositional method called the Multi-dimensional composition system by evolving the perception manners in composition both in the author’s and auditor’s part. 
He has studied architecture and urbanism at the Tehran University of Art and has pursued his education in instrumental and électroacoustique composition under the supervision of Claude Ledoux, Geoffrey François, and Gilles Gobert at the Royal Conservatory of Mons, Belgium, and later in Paris under the supervision of Jean Luc Hervé and Roque Rivas and currently he is a student in Musicology at University Paris 8. 
His research contains political-social concerns with ecology and ecofeminism approaches and his compositions mainly involve accessible technology.

Flute player. Interpreter and improviser.

« À mes yeux, à la croisée de l’univers intelligible de l’esprit et de l’univers sensible de la perception naissent d'autres réalités. Mon dessein est d’encourager l’auditeur à découvrir ce monde médian. En éliminant les limites imposées par le temps et l’espace, je mets à l’épreuve, au sein d’une écriture résolument contemporaine, des éléments empruntés à mon riche bagage culturel d’origine, mais aussi à d’autres époques historiques et des traditions lointaines. Pour construire mon langage musical, j’ai reçu, entre Téhéran, Paris et Genève, l’enseignement de Alireza Mashayekhi, Gérard Pesson, Denis Dufour, Édith Canat de Chizy, Michael Jarrell, Luis Naón et Éric Daubresse. En 2015, je complète ma formation au Cursus d’Ircam. »
