After an open call to Iranians living in the Middle East, North African and South Asia – five emerging experimental musicians and artists were selected for a two week residency in the UK.

The residency was part-tutored by the legendary Keith Rowe, who is “to guitar what Pollock was to the canvas” of the avant-garde band AMM, and culminated in a performance at Southbank Centre with the MA sound-art students of LCC. For more info check out #IranUKSonics on social media
