Z.Z: What is rock music?
Soheil: I think rock music is something more than bunch of
words and sentences and definitions. It's one of those genres
that you can think about it in different ways and aspects, from
it's message of rebellion to the beauty of technical-side of
this music. To me, this kind of music is the biggest part of my
life, that I can see the reflection of my emotions, ideas and
feelings into it. Whether I listen to a music that someone else
plays, or when I play something original. It's all about getting
influences and trying to be influent.
Z.Z: How can you describe the Iranian rock music in general?
Soheil:
Iranian Rock music is progressing. There's no doubt about
it. Though there's lots of pressures and a very little air to
breathe. But our rock musicians, they're doing their best to
present the best music that they can write and perform to their
listeners. And the strange part of the situation is that there's
no sunshine in the end of this tunnel. we practice hard, we try
to be good performers , whether as a cover band or as an
original artist, trying to perform harder tunes and write more
mature and well-driven music and then there's nothing to get in
the other side. But we do our best and we try to be better
everyday that passes on. As I said first rock music in iran is
progressing and I think unlike Iranian pop music that most of it
is stucked! We're moving forward and trying to find an identity. |
