Interpreting the spirit of Omar Khayyam's evocative poetry, the band Axiom of Choice crafts progressive Persian music of a trans-global scale. Quarter-tone guitar, saz, duduk, clarinet, electric cello, ney, kamancheh, percussion, and exquisite Persian vocals color a sophisticated palette of compositions and a lush landscape of sounds.
Poignant, innovative, epic, and soulful - these are but a few of the adjectives used to describe the music of Axiom of choice. Formed in 1992 by guitarist, composer, and artistic director Loga Ramin Torkian and co-producer and percussionist Mammad Mohsenzadeh, the ensemble's goal is to define a new sound within the context of Persian music. They were soon joined by vocalist Mamak Khadem whose prodigious vocal talent complemented the group's original compositions.
"UNFOLDING reflects our search for life's deeper meaning, and offers the vehicle of music to smooth the way. This music celebrates the poetical pursuit of knowledge and freedom; it is about seeking, beauty, and above all, love."
- Tom Schnabel, Café L.A. (KCRW)
