ABGINEH
The Music Album
- Original Music by Salar Zamanian
ABOUT THE ALBUM
From Heritage to Contemporary Musical Creation
ABGINEH is an eight-track studio album composed by Iranian musician Salar Zamanian, bringing together Persian instrumental traditions and contemporary musical expression.
Emerging from an artistic experience connected to the Abgineh Museum of Tehran, the project draws inspiration from cultural heritage, memory and the relationship between material, space and sound.
Featuring tar, piano, bass, percussion and qanun, the album explores a distinctive instrumental language shaped by the encounter between Persian musical identity and contemporary ensemble performance.
The completed recording provides the foundation for a wider artistic project, extending beyond the original album into live performance, new arrangements and future musical creation.

LIVE PERFORMANCE
From Studio Recording to the Concert Stage
ABGINEH is designed to move beyond its original studio recording through live performances that reinterpret and expand its musical material.
The project can be presented in different instrumental configurations, from intimate chamber settings to larger ensembles, while preserving the musical identity of the original work.
This flexibility allows each performance to be developed in dialogue with participating musicians, presenting institutions and the artistic context of the event.

FUTURE ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT
An Evolving Musical Identity
Beyond the original album and its live presentations, ABGINEH offers a foundation for continued artistic exploration and new musical creation.
Future development may include expanded orchestrations, newly commissioned arrangements, collaborations with additional instrumentalists and ensembles, and original compositions emerging from new artistic encounters.
The project also offers opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations, connecting music with visual art, audiovisual production and contemporary performance.
Rather than remaining a fixed repertoire, ABGINEH is envisioned as an evolving artistic project, capable of developing new forms while maintaining its original musical identity.
