Messy lattice is a work composed in such an uncertain epoch. The year 2020 is different for the  whole of humanity as for me. We see how people are impatient for getting back to “normal.”  Therefore, I felt the spirit of Autumn and its grief more than every year. The only thing that I could  be definite about is that there will be Winter that can be more chirpy. Another hand, chaos is  always interesting to me. Chaos is something that entangled by order. However, here I attempted  to get closer to being “messy.”

Messy Lattice

Sohrab Motabar (1984) is a composer from Tehran. With regards to states of suspension and dazzled motion his music resonates like a maze for the listener. He composes with algorithms, chaotic functions and non-standard synthesized sounds as a way to give rise to obscured dimensions and experimental modes of perceiving and listening. In 2018, Motabar graduated from the Institute of Sonology. In addition to this study he also actively collaborates in select projects with other artists and musicians.
