Ambient Soundworlds of Amir Bagh
Top Ambient Chill out Artist :
Amir is very much a performing artist; he has played gigs and festivals all over world like the CEO Electronic Festival in Germany, Biwa Lake Festival in Japan, the European Modern Jazz Festival in Turkey, and the E-live Festival in Holland; we're looking forward to bringing Amir to the UK in the near future where he's recently been enjoying playouts on Classic and Resonance FM. He maintains a mastery of producing and engineering at his own studio, The Bluebox, in Germany, where he also manages a 125 hour multi genre music and sound effects library, and puts together all his own work.
"Baghiri conjures an immersive sound world melding percussion and programming with true Asian and North African ambience. Trance inducing poly-rhythmic drumming, simmering electronics and atmospheres, an enigmatic animal howl; sand is practically spilling out of the speakers. Then the rhythm dies down and the dark ambient drifts, drones, and dripping water become the foreground... and so it goes fluctuating through these aggressive and sublime moments. In some tracks the percussion is content to gently percolate while in others it rolls in like an invading army. I can't offer much of an informed opinion on the authenticity of it all, but to these Western ears it's all wonderful."
