About  Saied Lahouti

 

The composer views these songs as a fusion of tradition and modernity, constituted by his lived experiences. He believes these pieces serve as vital connections between the worlds of Iranian traditional and contemporary music. His life is deeply reflected in his compositions, which he regards as an ongoing and experiential project. In the song “Aqrab-e Zulf Kaj,” it’s as if the composer delves into his own inner world, while in “Mashin-e Mashti Mamdali,” he emerges from those depths. This sense of incompleteness may be one of the most remarkable properties of a musical work.
