[avazbone]

sound like piano but need work. is he making this up or is this a song. i don't understand melody. have you heard motzart sonati ? it is advanced. he is warming up ?

[SolutionSaid]

what the hell?

[arasbm]

My friend, you need to work on your hearing to enjoy this music. Just because it is different from what you are used to hearing doesn't mean it is less advanced.

Please be more responsible with your comments.

[avazbone]

when man lived in a cage he grunts for musik.just because it came before does not make it deep. It may be deep for simple mind. baroque music is something that u may find confusing but i don't insult u. child mind is pure. some mind need more information. U must study brain development at culture. look at government in iran. they stop modern idea of art. good for ur brain. art melody must follow law. this music follows law of tyrant. he must follow rule so it is like baby music.

[avazbone]

kurdistanian playing european arpeggios and radif on Parci santur. smoke more it will sound better. No wonder nobody listen to iranian music other than iran. the musicians play what government wants. they have small balls. real musician can not be like the sheep.

[avazbone]

i think he support government. he is free to choose. but if he does not support and does nothing then he is coward. u have no idea how many die everywhere for change. he has his head up ass of cultural minister. tell me if i am wrong. he is kurd and plays bad parsi santur. listen to reza varzandeh. y do u use bad language and insult ? u talk from gutter and have no brain for art. don't be mad 4 what u can't change. take more medicine for ur mind.
