Born in 2000 in Tehran, Iran, Amir Naghavi, aka AAMIROO, is deeply interested in exploring the intersections of electronic and experimental sounds with musical motifs from the SWANA region and beyond.
Music of tarxun tastes like tarragon smeared across the inside of your skull—fresh, electric, and unsettlingly sharp. This architect of psychedelic IDM twists glitchy beats, relentless bass, and broken breaks until rhythms turn liquid through your cochlea.
GABB [BRILLO LENTA] aka Gabriela Valdespino, is a Caracas-born/Berlin-based transdisciplinary artist, performer, DJ, researcher, curator and co-initiatior of SUDORAع, a Bremen-based collective exploring collaborative practices around sound and music.
MIAAN NIGHTS returns to Arkaoda — this time with an evening of free improvisation, jazz, electronic and sonic experimentation.
10or Trio merges improvised jazz with Iranian musical motifs and the textures of Dastgah music, blending synthesizers, sound experimentation, and electronic manipulation into an exploratory live performance.
As a prelude to the evening, the night kicks off with a deep ambient opening set by Gabb, bringing together field recordings, Neue Musik, and jazz experimentation
The band 10or Møsaic will also be joined by two surprise guest vocalists: Astan Ka and Parham Alizadeh — bringing different languages and vocal approaches into the equation.
Tarxun expands the sonic landscape through synthesis and live electronic experimentation, while Milad Zendehnam explores the mosaic of Dastgah and jazz on the guitar. Brendan Dougherty ties the whole constellation together on drums with dynamic and fluid improvisation.
Afterwards, AAMIROO closes the evening with a jazz and dub-influenced DJ set as a gentle relief and landing point after the live performances.
