Saman Samadi ...

Saman Samadi (born 1984) is a Persian composer of the New Complexity. He obtained his Diploma in Mathematics at National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET) in Sari and B.A in music performance and M.A. in composition at the University of Tehran where he studied with Prof. Alireza Mashayekhi. In 2009, he won a composition award in the 24th Fajr International Music Festival, and in the same year, after writing a Symphony in three movements, he stopped composing in the Neoromantic style, and then in order to enter the graduate program in composition, he ranked 2nd in the National universities entrance exams (Konkoor). Then, with changing his taste and mentality, he found his style in composition into New Complexity, and he soon developed his own style based on the use of microtonality from the modal system of traditional Persian music, and the superposition of several atonal lines creating a kind of atonal heterophony under the influence of traditional Persian music. His "Paj (for Flute and Piano)" has been chosen as the top work of attention for 2012 Counterpoint-Italy Concorso.
