Salam brothers and sisters!

The curator of THE STONE was Lukas Ligeti.
The concert theme was: silence is sound…doo bee doo bee doo. And the strategy of the peformed music was composed improv.

NBC (Channel 4) video taped parts of the concert and aired the footage, which is a piece of a segment on experimental music in New York, 3/21 at 7:30 pm and 3/22 at 1:00 am. This piece is featured on LX TV Television for a long long time.

Sohrab in New York !

Anouncement

On July 7th 2008 I, a Swiss born Iranian living in Japan for a long time, made my move to NYC. Sayonara Tokyo ! I ain’t Sadato anymore. From now on my new name is Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi. Sohrab is the name of the ancient Persian super hero Sohrabe Yal. And I believe I’m an reincarnation of him. Because I was told that I have the same features like him, such as being tall, strong, diligent, hard working, creative,etc. I was also a Samurai in Japan and very good in handling a katana (sword).

Anyway, here am I. New York, New York… ! Great city! The right place to play my music.

I started in December 2008 the project  THE TEHRAN-DAKAR BROTHERS and a side project called BROTHERS IN ACTION.
