Zelzeleh is a new project from Momin (Sunken Cages) and Arsani (Faraway Ghost). Their collaboration combines vocals inspired by Persian poetry and Punk Rock along with global rhythms that are layered over intricate electronic soundscapes. Arsani’s mastery of Persian classical modes (dastgahs) and his evocative vocals merge seamlessly with Momin’s polyrhythmic live-looping. Together, they create a unique sound described as “Digital Sufi Music.” The duo is signed to Akuphone Records (France) and debuted their full-length album “Ashk Haye Moghevemat” in November 2024.
