2025Tehran Mountains, is a full-lengh album initiated by musician Olivier Terpstra and in collabration with visual artist, Meshkat Talebi. This album is the continuation of their first collabration on Borders Are An Imaginary Line, mixes modular synthesis with traditional Iranian instruments and spoken narration. The album took shape during a residency at MONOM Studios in Berlin, where Oliv Oliv used 4D sound technology to place instruments and voices in a three-dimensional space, creating an immersive environment where experimental electronic music and cross-cultural sounds coexist in harmony.
Alongside the narration, I collabrated in making the videos for some songs of the album which were displayed in Popronde 2025 in different venues. The videos is a respond to each songs and the stories behind them. The footages are a combination of my personal archives from my trips to Iran, found fotages from internet and manupulated visuals using Touchdesigner.
