Скачать или смотреть Ustad Noor Bakhsh |استاد نوربخش| Mehdi Aminian, Tohid Vahid | "LIVING ROOM IMPROVISATION"

"Living Room Improvisations" is an idea, a need and a potential reaction to the music industry and stage culture, where musicians meet at home to play freely, without pressure of performance, just for the joy of sound and the beauty of the moment. Though the idea is so simple and obvious, many of us seem to have drifted far away from it.

Story of this session:

"During the recording of our album Home, whatever that word means, however it chooses to feel, I invited my dear friend and gifted musician Tohid from Iran to stay at my home in Vienna. We let “home” guide the music, letting it grow from nothing through late nights, open doors, and the friends and musicians who passed through.
One afternoon, as our sessions were winding down, a message arrived from Daniyal Ahmad, companion of Ustad Noor Bakhsh, inviting us to Ustad’s performance, a call we couldn’t miss. We were swept away by a man inseparable from his music and his instrument, all one glowing light. Hours later, Ustad was in my living room, sharing stories, music, and the light of “Noor Bakhsh” — quite literally, “giver of light.”
This meeting led to a spontaneous improvisation with Ustad Noor Bakhsh and Doshambay. What you hear is that unplanned moment: music born from presence, and the feeling of home."
