Sonic Imaginaries w/ Katayoun
Sonic Imaginaries is a show by Katayoun with sounds spanning from soulful Persian Avaz to jazzy tunes, upbeat funk, Latin rhythms, and synth from Iran and beyond. Bringing to the fore a host of underknown gems and narratives by way of musical storytelling, Katayoun’s work has long recontextualized Iranian music from the 60s and 70s from a generic realm of ‘nostalgia’ and oblivion into a specific and sonically dynamic space of universality, temporality, and relationality. This iteration muses on visiting Iran’s Funkytown of the 70s – the cosmopolitan city of Tehran – with tracks by Ramesh, Martik, and Hayedeh.
