Sote is a leading figure of the electroacoustic scene in Iran, an artist continually rethinking and deconstructing rules and formulas. His recent records have explored connections between electronic, folk and classical styles of music, creating a unique and otherworldly music that’s sounds entirely new. Presented at Unsound, Parallel Persia “deals with the illusion and creation of an artificial hyperreal culture manipulated and controlled by an imperious agency somewhere within all galaxies.” Sote will perform alongside Arash Bolouri and Pouya Damadi, who perform on traditional Persian instruments - santur and tar.
