Amir Baghiri is a musician, sound designer and composer whose dark ambient soundscapes have been featured on dozens of CDs and in film.
Originally from Iran, he is now based in Germany. He has released over 28 solo CDs, collaborations with other artists and several film scores.
He began composing music in 1980. While still in school, he was the founder and keyboard player of a band called Red Fly. Later, he played keyboards and percussion in The Pygmies, a free jazz band.
More recently, he has been composing for many different mediums. His work includes orchestral soundtracks and sonic transformations for feature films, commercials and documentaries. He augments his energetic electronica compositions with ancient fractal grooves and exotic soundscapes.
Currently, he is working with several well-known musicians on multiple productions, and creating ambient soundscapes (abstract, noise, minimal experimental, dark and tribal, etc). He works in his own studio, the Bluebox, where he produces and engineers other musicians and projects, in addition to his own music.
