This album was recorded remotely, bringing together the creative contributions of several musicians from different locations. Arif Mirbaghi, an independent Iranian musician with a rich background in jazz, experimental music, and beyond, embraced my recorded ideas with great enthusiasm. His open-minded approach to collaboration, along with the contributions of others, led to the creation of tracks 5 and 6 on the album, resulting in a unique fusion of sounds and styles. The album blends elements of Indie, Indian Pop, and Rock, creating a fresh and captivating sonic experience.
Arif has shared his perspective on the album:
“The astronomer will tell you mutual occultation occurs when a planet passes by an object and is obscured to our observation. The believer will tell you occultation is the space where the messiah resides. Your friend the musician says there is light in you, like water in a well, and you dig for it by being alive.”
Recorded between Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Iran during the course of 2023.
