A sterling piece of work from Germany based Iranian Amir Baghiri, a proliftic Ambient composer. For this release on Polish label Vivo, Baghiri plays a shopful of Middle Eastern instruments: oud and saz lutes, flutes and the Turkish sipsi reed pipe. But it's in the drums that his heart lies, and a panoply of percussion from Egypt to Azerbaijan is pressed into service to create dense, danceworthy workouds. Like a warmer version of the late Muslimgauze, Baghiri layers and manipulates textures, drones and fragments of voice in his dark-hued, mesmerising tracks. Often it's like listening to the crackle of a beach bonfire laid over drumming. Baghiri's trump card is his deployment of field recordings to thicken the mix, especially a heady desert wind that seems to blow straight out of a Paul Bowles novel set in Morocco. The whole of "Emamzadeh Hashem" is a soup of wind, street noise and distant music, while on "Eshragh" a pondful of frogs get involved with the beats. Baghiri's musical vision is impressive, and by dedicating the album to Ali Asghar Bahari, an early 20th century master of the bowed kemancheh, he unexpectedly underlines his music's place in the Iranian tradition.
