The title of this album my attempt at translating the Farsi phrase قارچ‌های غربت to English. It comes from the poem "The Sound of Water's Footsteps" by Iranian poet Sohrab Sepehri. 

A more literal translation of the phrase would be Mushrooms of "Ghurba", an originally Arabic word that has several meanings, including senses of estrangement, alienation, loneliness, being away for home, and longing.

I composed many of these pieces during and after Israel's 12 day war on Iran in the summer of 2025. Being  an Iranian living abroad for 15 years, I had never felt Ghurba the way I felt it this summer, as I realized more and more that Iranian lives matter to exactly no one.
Ghurba and all its meanings overshadow most of the pieces in this album. 

The music heard on this post is the final track, which is an improv piece with the same title as the album.

In the album art, I tried to depict a mycelial network creeping up the piano and my body, and expanding into the ground, maybe a thread or two reaching the other side of the world where home is.

As Sepehri's poem says "Who cares if sometimes the mushrooms of ghurba start to grow?" 

You are right Sohrab, nobody does...

The Final Word

Impromptu for Solo Cello "Abraham" Zeeks Catalog

"Sometimes the lie is better than the truth..."

This is the raw, stripped-back 'Midnight' version of "Set the Fire."
Before the orchestral storm arrives, there is only the voice and the piano.

SENSEMENT is a Dark Neoclassical project blending 15 years of human songwriting with AI composition. This track is part of the upcoming debut album, "Tragic Art."

🥀 Mood: Gothic / Melancholic / Spoken Word
🎹 Music: Piano Ballad

LYRICS:
Set the fire — burn me clean,
Feed the flame, I’ll shape the scene.
Don’t kill the heat, don’t fade away,
Don’t let shadows reign again.

Set the fire — let it bloom,
Ash to love, and love to gloom.
From the scars beneath my skin,
Let the light of me begin.

Through the light, I see your face,
Lost in fire’s brief embrace.
Chains of pain around me close,
Burn to dust, like wilted rose.

Make a lie I will believe,
Love is right, it can deceive.
You decide just tell me where?
Everywhere, I need you there.

Set the fire — burn me clean,
Feed the flame, I’ll shape the scene.
Don’t kill the heat, don’t fade away,
Don’t let darkness reign again.

Echoed screams beneath my skin,
Fade to songs of what has been.
Let the pain stay and lie,
Let me burn, but never die.

Set the fire — one last time,
Turn my loss to wordless rhyme.
Cold remains, but fire stays,
In the ash, The silence plays.

Make a lie I will believe,
Love is right, it can deceive.
You decide — just tell me where?
Everywhere, I need you there.

Set the Fire (The Midnight Session)

"When silence folds your whispered name..." 🌧️

This is the raw, atmospheric 'Midnight Session' of "I Call Your Name."
Before the fire starts, there is only the rain, the memory, and the silence.

SENSEMENT is a Dark Neoclassical project blending 15 years of human songwriting with AI composition. This track serves as the opening chapter of the "Tragic Art" album.

🌑 Mood: Nostalgic / Rainy / Spoken Word
🎹 Music: Minimalist Piano

LYRICS:
My tears have traced the passing years,
each drop, a song the darkness hears.
You said the light would heal the pain,
but shadows found me once again.

I breathe your scent where first we met,
it stirs the ground, I can't forget.
Your touch remains where sorrow sleeps,
I call your name — and silence keeps.

When silence folds your whispered name,
the night remembers just the same.
No hand to hold, no heart is near,
I call your name — and none can hear.

My soul fades slowly out of sight,
the rain still veils the endless night.
The roses wilt, their colors fade,
as life becomes the death it made.

I call your name, but no reply,
just hollow stars across the sky.
The wind repeats what hearts conceal —
a wound that time will never heal.

When silence folds your whispered name,
the night remembers just the same.
No hand to hold, no heart is near,
I call your name — and none can hear.

I Call Your Name (The Midnight Session)

Listen up: This track is drama, motivation, and a full-on theatrical choir. The chaotic energy behind Eggplant? It's inspired by something that looks like an eggplant but isn't an eggplant. We tried to name it, but nothing slapped quite like the iconic purple emoji. So, we stuck with the most fitting description for the visually similar, yet unidentifiable, object. It’s the ultimate head-scratcher anthem that turns confusion into power. The real question, though: What IS that eggplant? (Lmk in the comments.)

EGGPLANT
