Alireza Mashayekhi (فارسی: علیرضا مشایخی born 1940 in Tehran) is a notable Iranian Musician, Composer, Professor and Conductor living in Tehran.

His music has been performed for over 50 years around the world.

Representing Avant-garde, Modern and Contemporary Music, he is one of the first composers in Iran who worked in these 3 genres. He is also a pioneer of Electroacoustic Music in Iran.[1][2][3][4][5]

Early life and Education

After graduating from the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, he went to Utrecht, the Netherlands, to study electronic and computer music, and attended lectures by Gottfried Michael Koenig.[6]

Career

Alireza Mashayekhi at the 30th Fajr International Music Festival

In 1993, with cooperation of the pianist Farima Ghavam-Sadri, Mashayekhi founded the Tehran Contemporary Music Group. In 1995 he established the Iranian Orchestra for New Music,[7] which released its first recording in 2002 on Hermes Records.

In 2007, Sub Rosa (label) released Persian Electronic Music: Yesterday and Today 1966–2006, a double-disc anthology that includes works by Mashayekhi and Ata Ebtekar.[8] In 2009, Brandon Nickell’s Isounderscore label released the vinyl double LP Ata Ebtekar & The Iranian Orchestra for New Music Performing Works of Alireza Mashayekhi "Ornamental". Mashayekhi granted Ebtekar full creative freedom to work with the Iranian Orchestra for New Music to arrange and transform his compositions.

Musical language

Mashayekhi's music circulates between a range of styles and genres, from classical compositions inspired by Persian rhythms and Iranian folk music that incorporate meditated repetition and polyphony, to atonal compositions, to works for tape and live electronics that combine traditional Iranian and Western instruments. Mashayekhi calls his compositional practice "Meta-X,"[9] referring to the sonic multiplicities present in his work (as contradictions of tonal/atonal, improvised/pre-defined, Persian/non-Persian)[10] that unify within a single musical piece.[11]
