Although Seattle producer Kamran Sageghi’s parents first moved with him from Iran to America shortly after the country’s Islamic Revolution, He still grew up in a home constantly filled with the sounds of Persian folk and pop music rather than the culturally benumbing white noise of broadcast TV. The music he creates as Son of Rose may owe more to ‘numerically specific frequencies’ than rhythms and melodies, there’s a unique delicacy and poise his compositions. More like digital scrims made up of fluctuating groupings of microscopic events, all six tracks on this limited edition debut EP manage to establish precise boundaries and parameters, so that forms gently manifest themselves through the accumulated flow of minute activities.
