Duo Musayyebi & Heuser (Herdecke)

Kioomars Musayyebi (Santur) & Andreas Heuser (Gitarre)

Hauskonzert in Herdecke

Kioomars Musayyebi and Andreas Heuser, both members of the Ruhr-region world music big band Transorient Orchestra, meet musically halfway between Orient and Occident, their instruments entering into diverse dialogues with one another.

They play traditional Oriental pieces in new arrangements, alongside original compositions that blend musical influences from East and West.

Both have profound musical training and many years of experience in a wide range of musical settings. They are virtuoso instrumentalists and distinctive composers.

Imaginatively exploiting the many tonal and rhythmic possibilities of their instruments, they let the sounds of the 72-string Persian santur, various guitars, and the violin merge into rich soundscapes: rhythmic, dynamic, lyrical, and meditative.
