"When There is More Beauty in the Contrary", Negar and Salim's single released on 1/1/11, is an oud and electric guitar instrumental. It is a portrayal of ancient east versus modern west.

"Combining traditionally dissimilar forces into one cohesive composition", this song reflects its composers' backgrounds in Persian contemporary and progressive rock genres.

Salim is an Iranian composer and guitarist in a variety of genres ranging from progressive metal and jazz-fusion to avant-garde classical chamber rock and progressive electronic rock. Moreover some critiques, prefer art rock instead and recognize his music with a minimalist approach.

Salim has dedicated a song entitled "For Jeremy, Embodying the Mastermind" to Jeremy Brett in his 2011 album, Human Encounter.

"Abrahadabra" is a reflection of my exaggerated personal feelings. It is the first endeavor to my idea of “pictorial rock” - i.e. composition of sounds that recite a sequence of mental pictures. Actually all of these instrumental tracks have a real-life story behind them. There are very vague allusions to these stories in the CD booklet. e.g. “Route” is the story of a death ceremony and recites the mourning over the dead in a way that is done in eastern culture. Or “Told to the Bird” is the story of my own confession to a bunch of flying birds in a ritualistic way... In one sentence, while composing this album, I felt very lovesick, idealist and outraged.

As I came to Earth in 1981, I involuntarily came into contact with human race. Except for a few bright encounters, I found the rest, dark and ugly. “Human Encounter” is my diary of these encounters. This album is divided into two categories:

The “dark side” reflects the ugly experiences. I noticed that human beings have a tendency to call everything by a name and misunderstand it later. So I do not care what they may actually mean by a word like "evil"; but no doubt human beings themselves are the main source of terror, pain and destruction on Earth.

The “bright side” reflects the pleasures I encountered in this planet. I say no pleasure happens on Earth without a human medium; so the corresponding songs are dedicated to individual human beings. Of course at first sight, Earth seems physically alluring, but those are only temporary characteristics. The only immortal thing is what a man creates.

Now that I am departing this planet, I will only miss a few people like those I named in the “bright side”... Let the others putrefy in the abyss of time.

Iranian art rock musician Salim released his 5th album, "Human Encounter". This is a concept album with a story backing up by the artist's real life experiences. Most of the songs are dedicated to events of his life or to the human beings he adores. Here is the full story: [...]

“Progressive rock knows no border! Salim , an Iranian progressive rock composer launched his multilingual website!”

My music has always been instrumental, knowing no language barrier in nature. But still my mind does not stop from producing words... To transcend my own word, I decided to speak your language! “Exterminate all rational thought. That is the conclusion I have come to.”

En quelques années, le programme alimentaire mondial a perdu la moitié de son budget, qui n'est plus que de 3,2 milliards. Les pays riches ne cotisent plus. Ils doivent sauver leurs banques. C'est à dire les spéculateurs.
La lutte contre la faim dans le monde passe après. J'appelle cela un crime contre l'humanité.

Fast krimiartig durchlaufen die Songs laszive Höhen und düstere Tiefen, erleben faszinierende Dynamisierungen und wie aus dem Nichts fallen gelassene Energie, dass schon beim Zuhören das Gefühl aufkommt, im Traum vom Dach zu fallen.
Traum: so hört sich "Human Encounter" an. Wie der Soundtrack des Schlafes in allen Facetten.

Quelli di Iconophobic sono dei quadri sonori che trasmettono di volta in volta angoscia, smarrimento e forza in perenne bilico tra Medio Oriente e occidente.

Welcome to my daydream: "Avant-garde ancient art-rock from Iran".

Jag älskar dina ögon,
Jag älskar när du ler.
Jag älskar när jag hör din röst.
Mitt hjärta det klappar,
när jag ser på dej.
Men tanken att du inte finns här,
det gör mig ledsen,

Vivo per te e di te.

Усмихвам се, радвам се, чувствам, мечтая .. значи СЪЩЕСТВУВАМ !! Искам, желая, копнея .. значи МОГА !!!
