PARASANG // MAHAN MIRARAB // VINCENT PONGRACZ // ELECTRONIC, JAZZ, DANCE, EXPERIMENTAL
Pouya Ehsaei is a familiar face at Grow. He has hosted numerous live jams with his Cuban-infused band, Ariwo, and his event, Parasang. Now, he returns for another night, showcasing his artistry as an experimental live musician, sound designer, producer, and curator.
As the band leader of Ariwo and the driving force behind the electronic and live music club night, Parasang, Pouya’s practice involves experimenting with various compositional and sound synthesis techniques. He aims to create a sonic journey through hypnotic soundscapes, industrial beats, intricate sound miniatures, epic soundscapes, fractal polymeric rhythms, and pulsating, hard-hitting sub-frequencies.
Pouya has graced prestigious venues, including the Royal Albert Hall, Barbican Centre, Southbank Centre, and the Royal Academy of Arts. He has also performed at several festivals, such as Montreux Jazz Festival, We Out Here, Womex, Womad, and Fusion.
Joining Pouya are two Austrian/Iranian guests where you will experience a fusion of Iranian culture and contemporary music.
Mahan Mirarab, a renowned Iranian jazz guitarist, will captivate you with his extraordinary double neck guitar. This unique instrument allows him to weave microtonal melodies and solos on the fretless guitar, creating a soundscape that transcends the ordinary. His music is a testament to the rich and diverse culture of Iran, and his performance promises to be a mesmerizing experience. Mahan represents a generation of young migrant musicians in Europe who are changing the sound borders in the music industry and are pushing for more diversity with respect to quality, dialogue, and creativity.
Sharing the stage with Mahan and Pouya is Vincent Pongracz, an exceptional clarinet player. Vincent’s virtuosity on the clarinet adds a new dimension to the performance, his notes dancing in harmony with Mahan’s guitar. Vincent is a composer, videographer, and a clarinet player who has been praised for his unique arrangements and compositions. He has performed in numerous concerts around the world and his music is a blend of diverse styles, avoiding cliches and expanding the understanding of how each style can be interpreted.
The evening will be divided into two distinct sets. The first set will be a downtempo, hypnotic performance, allowing you to lose yourself in the rhythm and melody. The second set will pick up the pace, with an upbeat and borderline clubby vibe that will get your feet moving.
Come join us for a night of unparalleled musical mastery and experimentation, as we savor the summer nights by the canal at Grow.
Closing out the night is London-based Moontalk returns after an incredible warm-up set for DJ Amir and My Analog Journal crew. She has an affinity towards off-the-grid electronic and dance music with exotic textures and hypnotic percussions the Turkish-British DJ and radio host will be warming up the floor with a selection of softer cuts that transcend genres, borders and eras.
Free Before 9, £6 from 9pm, £7pm from 10pm. For pre-sale tickets, arrive before 10pm.
