Music
Cinna Peyghamy is a delver into the affinities of sound. At the centre of the French-Iranian composer’s practice squats the Persian tombak drum; entwined with and perpetually transformed by its presence hums an elaborate constellation of oscillators, resonators, control voltages, and signal pathways through which each strike may acquire an unforeseen afterlife. Peyghamy’s fascination lies in the reciprocal metamorphosis of these ostensibly disparate instruments. He constructs bespoke sonic apparatuses and devises intricate relationships between performer and instrument, muscular immediacy and microscopic intricacy advancing with bodily conviction while its timbres proliferate into abstruse geometries. His 2026 album »Music For Tombak & Synth« brings together Persian percussion, modular sonorities, meticulous digital manipulation and traces of familial voice, intimate recollection draped in impersonal circuitry. Each sound negotiates its own passage between worlds, bearing the imprint of the body even as it escapes dimensions.
