Since 20 years the Iranian producer Ata Ebtekar alias Sote has been fusing electronic music of the globalised present with Persian sound and motif traditions. He has released complex noise-techno albums on Warp Records, for example, but also works as a sound and multimedia artist. At donaufestival he presents the premiere of his commissioned Parallel Persia: With visual and musical means, with snapshots from an apocryphal Iran, and sounds from an alternative hyperreality, he will create a new, equally synthetic as factual image of “Persia”.

Sote is musically and visually accompanied by:

Arash Bolouri (Santour)

Pouya Damadi (Tar)

Arash Akbari (Visuals)
