Persian, Middle Eastern, Indian Electroacoustic
Interactive designer and visual artist Jerome Delapierre
The Fourth Light Project is presenting Niyaz, a Persian, Middle Eastern, Indian electroacoustic group with vocalist and composer Azam Ali, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Loga Ramin Torkian—in collaboration with interactive designer and visual artist Jerome Delapierre. The immersive multimedia experience combines live music and sacred whirling dance with advanced projection and body-mapping techniques that respond to sound and movement in real time. The production features songs from the group’s latest album, The Fourth Light, which is inspired by the first female Sufi mystic and poet Rabia Al Basri, who was born in the 8th century in Iraq.
