about

This album was recorded at the Music Room in K'jipuktuk in Mi’kma’ki (Halifax, Nova Scotia) on the unceded ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

Inspired by his migrations through Iran, India and finally to Canada, Behrooz Mihankhah’s Lydium takes impressionist and jazz compositions and presents them in an Iranian instrumental context. This collection of original and pre-existing pieces fuses musical traditions of the past with contemporary concepts of composition and improvisation.

...

“I would like to personally thank the musicians involved in this project, the production crew, my teachers, my family and my mentors, along with the generations of musicians and composers from around the world who have inspired my work. Special thanks to FACTOR, Music Nova Scotia and Hughie Langin Foundation, who’s support made the creation and production of this album possible.” - Behrooz Mihankhah
