SALIM GHAZI SAEEDI

Salim Ghazi Saeedi biography
Salim Ghazi Saeedi born in 1981 in Iran, Tehran. He began playing guitar in 1999. He has composed three albums Abrahadabra (2006), Sovereign (2007) and Ustuqus-al-Uss (2008) in the band ARASHK. His fourth album, Iconophobic released in 2010 under his own title in which he played the roles of composer, guitarist, keyboard player, drums arranger, mixing engineer and producer.

Some critiques have compared his sound to Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, John Zorn, Patrick O'Hearn, Mike Oldfield, Sufjan Stevens and The Enid.
Harmonie Magazine #70 compares his guitar playing with Robert Fripp's.

His albums are concept albums in progressive rock genre with diversified use of instruments ranging from classical instruments to rock instrumentation and electronic sounds. He describes himself as an ever improviser... either in performing or composing.

His fourth album, Iconophobic is a concept album about fearing the world of imagery. He says 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. The 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.
