Eremos

Over the past decade, Siavash Amini’s compelling electronic music has quietly garnered praise fromPitchfork, The Guardian and AllMusic. From his home base in Tehran, Iran, Amini has collaboratedwith artists like Rafael Anton Irisarri and 9T Antiope, and regularly uses literature, film, mysticism, andmedieval Iranian culture as musical launchpads. Amini’s new album, Eremos, illustrates a passagefrom Avicenna, the preeminent philosopher and physician of the Islamic Golden Age: one can moveout of darkness, he writes, by confronting the darkness within. The results are - even for Amini -uniquely immersive, cinematic and moving: a landmark.
