Motabar-Roessler Duo

Thursday 18 Feb - 5 PM
Tehran MOCA
Sohrab Motabar, Leonie Roessler

Motabar-Roessler Duo: Based in The Hague, the Sohrab Motabar (Iran) and Leonie Roessler (Germany, USA) have created a sound that is hard to define, combining elements of the outside world with abstract materials that are artificially created. The pieces are improvised within a strictly fixed form and contain three basic elements: Classical Guitar (Roessler), Live Electronics and Glitch Sounds (Motabar), and Soundscapes made from Field Recordings (Roessler). The Duo has recently performed their works in the Netherlands and in Berlin. Their next stop is Iran, especially the Limited Access Festival, where they will present brand new pieces in addition to their established repertory.
