Project Deev

Music by Namdar Kashanian & Moshir Safavi

When Namdar saw the iconic Deev paintings by Milad Aramnia, he immediately wanted to play setar for these grotesque and melancholic creatures. Over the following few weeks, Namdar and Moshir Safavi (Percussionist, Tanbur player) developed an improvisation map to play for the Deev, and performed a total of 3 Deev Jam sessions, the third being the final performance at Hamzianpour & Kia Gallery, where Aramnia’s Deev paintings were on display.

The recording from that night will soon be made available as an instrumental album.
