Soltani’s “Persian Fire Dance” is influenced by his Persian roots and is filled with asymmetrical meters, drones, an improvisatory section, and percussive effects which mimic the tonbak (a Persian goblet drum). Having a family with traditional Persian musicians, these are sounds and styles he grew up hearing in in Bregenz, Austria where he was born.
