Album: Say Your Most Beautiful Word

In his album "Say Your Most Beautiful Word," Mahan Mirarab blends various musical styles from his 22-year career, including microtonal music in Radif (classical Iranian music) and contemporary European music. The melodies and textures explore new territories between jazz, chamber music, and Radif, introducing innovative approaches to intonation and harmonization, merging European music theory with West Asian microtonal music. Mirarab chose clarinet and violin for their flexibility in microtonal play, reflecting their historical role in integrating European instruments into the Iranian Radif system. This album showcases his innovative fusion of diverse musical traditions, creating a unique sonic landscape that transcends cultural boundaries.
