Empty Voices by Hamed Sadeghi

My passion for creation and my love both for the Persian classical music, western music and mainly jazz resulted in albums with my band Eishan Ensemble over the past seven years. However, Fusion and blending is a never-ending journey. I’ve always had a lot of questions in my head; What is the best way of doing it? How loud or soft should my music be? Should it be structured or free-flowing? What does it mean to be authentic?

Empty Voices is about listening, lowering expectations, appreciating small moments and recognising the fragility of human being. Empty Voices celebrates the glory in the insignificance of life and it is about feeling empowered by valuing simplicity.

Empty Voices tries to define a new form of beauty and tries to present a forgotten love through music - A seven-piece ensemble including four horns, percussions, double bass and the Persian tar that is expected to be loud yet it presents a linear gentle soundscape.

Hamed Sadeghi is an Iranian-born tar player and composer based on Gadigal land (Sydney). Trained as a Persian classical musician in Tehran, Hamed’s haunting compositions give you a taste of his cherished culture.

He has performed at the most notable music festivals and in prestigious concert halls in Australia and overseas.
