    The sampled vocals are in the Persian language which inspired the evocation of the Zagros mountains. Elements of Persian singing are similar to yodeling, and where the Zagros are at the intersection of Iran, Iraq and Turkey, there are many influences. The Zagros span the whole length of the western and southwestern Iranian plateau, edged by Iraq and Turkey, and ends at the Strait of Hormuz, they begin in north-western Iran and running along its western border.

    The Zagros are considered home by the much-beleaguered Kurdish people.

about

Iranian vocals involve a kind of yodeling, that to me felt right in the mountains. They are call to action, even if they are a call for compassion and empathy and not a call to arms, so for that I placed the drums.

I've spent a lot of time in the Himalaya (15 months) and other mountain ranges. It's an experience you cannot simulate or relate, but perhaps through sound comes close to placing you there.

Made 12//12/2015 in the UAE, Abu Dhabi.
