Hamid Moradian: Santour Babak Kouhestani: Violin & Viola Negar Bouban: Oud Recordeing, mix and mastering: Hamid Asgari Tehran, Autumn 2018 Tracks: Rah I 7:13 Rah II 9:9 Rah III 11:56 Rah IV 6:43 Rah V 8:33 ManzelGah I 7:31 ManzelGah II 8:26 ManzelGah III 12:44 (Rah in Persian means Path, and it is a musical term as well. ManzelGah, on the other hand, is a lodge on the journey road; a spot to settle for the night before hitting the road again.) Meanders is an attempt to have three different music-cultures sit together to make a multi-musical texture as one. The three music cultures, seen as sources here are: Aramaic music, Celtic music and Persian Dastgah Music. The music took form, first in improvisation sessions by the three musicians, who made their best to feel free in musical expression on their instruments, aiming for an aesthetically unified combination, while not going far from the themes borrowed from or inspired by the music culture each one was presenting.
