Learn teach: Yarava
In 2002 I came to Tehran thanks to an invitation by my friend Ali Gorji and met, among others, Shahrokh Khajenouri. Through him I got into contact with the Yarava Music Group a few years later. Founded in 2001, this ensemble puts forward diverse activities in contemporary music and arts under the most difficult conditions. From these events I re-discovered how music can happen and should happen and I am happy that I have been able to contribute my own activities to this umbrella.

In April 2021 I founded together with Amin Khoshsabk as active member of Yarava Music Group the Yarava Electronic Studio Composer's Lab.
This gathering of composers happens once a month. The main focus is on asking each other about two presented works or idea.
So we get in discussions and can learn from wach other and with each other.
After some meeting I wrote "accompanying thoughts".
