Paiman Abdali:
Paiman Abdali is a synthesist who has created a Persian soundscape on his CD, "Angel of Thoughts". This instrumental album is a powerful sonic story that will take you to distant Persia. Paiman moved to the U.S. in 1983 and started writing music on synthesizers and computers, honing his personal musical vision. Here he paints a picture of a land and culture torn between the ancient and the modern, and shares with his listeners his gift of harmony and rhythm.
