Sohrab was born in Tehran in 1984. He
was seven when the Iran-Iraq war ended.
His name, from an old poem called
'Shahname', means 'rouge water', which
can also mean 'blood'. He started a punk
band with his brother and a friend,
which lasted about two years before
splitting. Sohrab is totally isolated in
Iran, with little or no connection to
what is happening there. Sohrab is, like
so many, displaced within his own
country and occupies a similar internal
cultural isolation. This is suggested by
Jon Wozencroft's imagery and artwork;
looking in through shattered glass and
an air of menace underneath the surface.
He recently performed live at Berghain
for a Touch night, with Fennesz, Hildur
Gudnadottir and others. It was his first
legal gig since a performance by his
punk band was broken up by the police in
Tehran...
You can listen to his contribution to
TouchRadio, "Tanhayi - Live in Tehran",
recorded in October 2009
Sohrab used Reason 3, his midi
controller (R)evolution UC-16 and a
sampler, recorded live through Ambrosia
recording software.
