On September 9th, 2024, I had the privilege of performing my new album, Encounter, alongside the amazing Arash Bolouri as part of Zabte Sote’s showcase at the 6th Tehran International Electronic Music Festival (Yarava), hosted at the Tehran Music Museum. Curated by the visionary Ata Ebtekar (Sote), this event exemplified the label’s dedication to pioneering experimental music and fostering bold artistic expressions.

I’m excited to share some wonderful news about my latest album, Encounter. It’s been an incredible journey, and the recent recognition from the music community has been truly rewarding.

I'm excited to share that my latest album Encounter has been featured in a fantastic article on CDM, written by Peter Kirn. The feature also includes the premiere of a video by Arash Bolouri, capturing the essence of the album’s sound and vision.

Memories in sound: seven chapters from Iran

Encounter is more than just an album—it's a journey through seven distinct seasons of Behrouz Pashaei's life. Each piece encapsulates a chapter of memories, experiences, and emotions that have shaped his journey as an artist.

I'm thrilled to announce my upcoming album “Encounter” releasing on August 7, 2024, by Zabte Sote record label. Pre-order now available on the Zabte Sote Band Camp page
