about

It is all about a blank page with a lot of ideas in head. Everything forms around nothingness but on a solid foundation. Persian Radif is my foundation, and improvisation is my nothingness. Sadeghi said.

The Persian classical repertoire known as Radif, is made of twelve different modes called Dastgah. Each Dastgah includes dozens of small pieces called Goshe that come in a specific order. The collection of these pieces would give identity to Dastgah. So basically, the Radif is a collection of old melodies that have been handed down by the masters to students through the generations. The foundation of the Iranian traditional music is based on this repertoire and musicians in this system need to spend years to learn the Radif properly so that they become capable of improvising and composing new music.

Hamed Sadeghi takes you on journey to Iran through the Radif and improvisation. While creating new sounds, Sadeghi honours the traditional ones to narrate the stories of an ancient civilisation.
