Lev livet, men glem ikke døden.

Benim ne durumda olduğumu biliyorsun, bir şey söylememe gerek yok. Umuyorum ki Allah'tan her şey düzelecek; onun için seni de sıkmak istemiyorum. Durumumu biliyorsun, bir şekilde toparlanmaya çalışıyorum ve bu esnada hayatını etkileyeceğini düşündüğüm için şimdilik en iyisi bu... Her şey gönlünce olsun.

Najvise mi se svidja dio...ko se ne salomi na hridi moje jezicine...jer hvala bogu znas da je kod mene i na umu i na drumu.....vazda. Alahu akbar dobro biti neće,kad se Dopsi na krivu sablju meće. Dopsi,reč ti je kao sablja dimiskija. tako je,a retki cuju

Der findes ingen fejltagelser, ingen tilfældigheder. Alle hændelser er velsignelser, som bliver givet til os, for at vi kan tage ved lære af dem. Der findes ingen tilfældigheder.

Guardian angel my guardian dear, to whom God´s love commits me here. Ever this day, be at my side, to light, to guard, to rule and guide. Amen.

Amarte es lo que amo más

"The music has from time to time the same darkness as we know from Univers Zero." -Iconophobic album review
"[It is] far removed from the avant-garde parts of any musical universe"
"You need to tread carefully if you are entering the Iconophobic world of Salim. You have been warned."
"Iconophobic is a strong statement from Salim on life in his home city of Tehran."
"Without information freely given, the visceral heart of the creator will serendipitously change you."
"Without ever becoming predictable, and taking care to add in the odd dissonant or arhythmic segment, the gritty guitars and swirling violins create stunning contrasts..."
"...Hendrix and Santana have also obviously instructed the phenomenal axe genius that Salim truly is."
"After careful listening I really wasn't able to find any particular artists that have influenced them more than others, or indeed pinpoint any specific influences at all."

In Ustuqus-al-Uss album I somehow inclined to jazz fusion and classic instrumentation. I think the eastern “blend” still dominates e.g. in “Ustuqus-al-Uss-al-Avvalin” which I think is the most progressive song I have ever composed (The second catchy guitar solo is performed by Pouyan). Some songs are extremely personal e.g. “Naught been I thou” which is an off-beat jazzy tune with unusual dance elements... These songs are my utmost fears and hopes - to a degree that made me mute from communicating by words. And thus they become instrumental sounds...

Dreft steunt 'doe een wens'

"Sovereign" is an instrumental recitation of Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings) i.e. an extensive Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi as a collection of Persian mythologies. Here you will find western rock instrumentation with eastern flavor. Some songs, I think, are apt to be adapted for traditional Iranian dance; especially “Sovereign” and “Harem” tracks. Actually, I am looking forward to the choreographic performance adaptations for this work whenever possible. Imagine Iranian "Coffee-house paintings" and belly dance with distorted guitars performing cheerful rhythms... Unusual combination? No, to me that sounds all natural!

"Abrahadabra" is a reflection of my exaggerated personal feelings. It is the first endeavor to my idea of “pictorial rock” - i.e. composition of sounds that recite a sequence of mental pictures. Actually all of these instrumental tracks have a real-life story behind them. There are very vague allusions to these stories in the CD booklet. e.g. “Route” is the story of a death ceremony and recites the mourning over the dead in a way that is done in eastern culture. Or “Told to the Bird” is the story of my own confession to a bunch of flying birds in a ritualistic way... In one sentence, while composing this album, I felt very lovesick, idealist and outraged.

"When There is More Beauty in the Contrary", Negar and Salim's single released on 1/1/11, is an oud and electric guitar instrumental. It is a portrayal of ancient east versus modern west.

"Combining traditionally dissimilar forces into one cohesive composition", this song reflects its composers' backgrounds in Persian contemporary and progressive rock genres.

The moment I came out of my mother's womb, I cried. Now, after finishing "Iconophobic" I know why. That deep void was a reality that I lost. I followed some chords. Hoping that they lead to the umbilical cord...

I used screaming guitars, classical instruments, electronic beats and even sound effects to grumble, pour out my heart, mourn and rejoice repetitively.

This album is a concept album about fearing the world of imagery. I don't know if it is really a psychological problem but I liked the idea of morbid alienation toward images, icons and in general, reality. Iconophobic's booklet contains a passage in form of a circle that reads:

"Alas that man was free...When there was no image.
Alas that image became a means... for altering the reality.
Alas that reality... is itself, an imagery by man."

When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone

There is always a choice.

non è mai un errore

quando ritornerò da te
io ci ritornerò da re
per raccontarti dei miei guai
dirti le cose che non sai
se io ritornerò da te
io ci ritornerò da re
se non ci rivedremo mai
allora avranno vinto i guai
