What Mortazavi and Burnt Friedman have in common is their shared expertise in uneven, cyclical rhythms - the foundation of their trance-like art music, which is both subtle and ecstatic. Through repetition and improvisation in the studio they create numbers - groove-based pieces played on a variety of drums mixed with electronics. This results in a precisely timed harmony between the electronic sounds and live grooves. Thanks to the extreme acoustic range of the Tombak and his extravagant technique, Mortazavi merges perfectly with Friedman's signature sound and repertoire, which seems to belong to no specific place or time.
