1713 by Expansives

This is another session of "Expansives", built on a simple setup: a modest modular patch, a few microphones, headphones, and friends gathered to create together.
The structure remains the same, but with a clear focus: every text in this session was written or selected by "Hamid Salehi" and read aloud by him, while "Mohammad Ranjbar" improvised on keyboards and I responded live to the reading. Nothing was rehearsed. The music and the reading unfolded together in real time, with no pre-planning and no editing — apart from the smallest, simplest adjustments.

Album titles follow the Persian calendar (month–day). For example, 1713 refers to the 13th of Mehr, 1401 (October 5, 2022).

I recommend listening with headphones.

I’m a composer and sound artist exploring the fragile boundaries between noise, texture, and rhythm. I work with modular synths, field recordings, and acoustic instruments.

The pieces have no names; each is simply numbered by release order, leaving the listener’s imagination free to wander—unshaped by the thoughts that led to the work’s creation.
