Kasian کاسیان

"Kashi”
Composer: Mehrzad Azamikia
Santour: Siavash Kamkar
Kamancheh: Mehrzad Azamikia

"Kashi" is a composition by Mehrzad Azami Kia inspired by the city of Kashan's rich cultural heritage. This piece was recorded live at the historic Agha Hosseini Estate, capturing the essence of traditional Iranian music and the unique atmosphere of this remarkable location.

The recording and filming were done live, using state-of-the-art equipment to preserve the acoustic details and authenticity of the performance. Special thanks to the Agha Hosseini family for providing this wonderful space for the recording.
The recording used five microphones: two Neumann KM184s and two Audio Technica AT4050s for ambient sound, all mixed through a Yamaha OV196i mixer. The santur used in this performance was handcrafted by Davood Shirazi (a Kahroba model made of wild pear wood), while the kamancheh was made from walnut wood by Bannaian.

Kamal Hosseini engineered the sound, and Siavash Kamkar mixed it at Sia Studio. Jalal Ahmadi directed the filming team and filmed the performance with three cameras.

Nemidanam Che Dar Peimaneh Kardi نمیدانم چه در پیمانه کردی

این اجرا، نسخه متفاوتی است از تصنیف قدیمی «نکنم اگر چاره» ساخته عارف قزوینی. این قطعه را افراد زیادی، از جمله محمدرضا شجریان، علی‌اصغر بهاری، الهه، علیرضا قربانی، و... به صورت‌های متفاوتی اجرا کرده‌اند. احتمالا اجرای خانم گیتی پاشایی از این قطعه را همه‌ شنیده‌اید. 
این قطعه در مایه افشاری ساخته شده. اگر به تئوری موسیقی علاقه دارید، در نسخه یوتوبی، این مایه را روی دیاگرام حبابی ۱۷-نغمه‌ای خودم توضیح داده‌ام:
