The Caspian music album is the first collaboration between violinist Sina Alam and pianist Homan Khalatbari, which was played and recorded as a duet based on the music of northern Iran and the Caspian Sea region.
Iranian melodies are basically short and concise, but in these seven Turks, Sina Alam and Homan Khaltabari have tried to add a new sound and form to it and make them more audible and interesting for today's generation.
The immensity of Alams talent is such that he would be globally admired if all he ever did was appear onstage or in a recording studio and then vanish after the last notes faded from his Kamancheh.
“In music we make all different compartments,” Khalatbari says. " Classical music that i studied and also Conducted it is not part of world music " — when did that happen? There are a certain number of things that cross all boundaries, like climate change. What is the role of music? Music is just sound, period. It’s organized by the times a person lives in, and the combination of ancient and new. Sounds can travel; anyone can travel. " Shoosh " and " Caspi " is one way to look at it.
