Biography

By recomposing concrete sounds and processed speech voices into collages, he explores into the realm of human perception and the deconstruction of language in audio culture, and seeks to redefine modes of listening by transforming sound as an indication of its source into an abstract structural sound object.
Shaahin studied composition in Tehran and Sound Sonic and Sonic arts in Berlin. In addition to sound installations and Audiovisual performances, his artistic practice includes music composition and sound design for film, animation and dance.
