Mahan Mirarab is an Iranian/Austrian guitarist, composer,
arranger and music producer based in Vienna and Berlin.
He has spent years learning about Persian traditional music
as well as the indigenous sound and cultures of the country
such as Arabic, African, Turkish, Kurdish, etc., while refining
his skills in Jazz, western classic and popular music.
Notably using fretless guitar, he specialises in blending the
microtonal systems with jazz and improvised music.
He is among some of the most innovative minds in Iran who
has redefined music in their culture despite the challenges
facing musicians after the Iranian revolution. His work
throughout 21 years is creating a new generation of
musicians, who are being inspired and influenced by his
guitar playing and compositions.
His dedication to expand his musical vocabulary brought
him to Europe in 2009 where he met and collaborated with
numerous musicians from all over the world such as
Anthony Braxton, Erkan Ogur, Alain Perez, Hadar Noiberg,
Johannes Berauer, Omar Klein, András Dés, etc. His
approach to composition and arrangement introduces a
unique blend of rhythms and harmonies that showcases his rich musical vocabulary as well as his
depth of knowledge in many different music styles. As a result, his compositions avoid so brilliantly
cliche and expands the understanding of how each style can be interpreted. Mirarab is composing,
arranging and performing in many jazz, experimental, acoustic/electronic, folk and traditional
projects as well as film, dance and theatre.
His aim is to introduce a new narrative through music in regards to middle eastern cultures and
jazz and in doing so he has succeeded to create his complex yet approachable style.
He represents a generation of young migrant musicians in Europe who are changing the sound
boarders in the music industry and are pushing for more diversity with respect to quality, dialogue
and creativity.
