Kalasatana (Robert Prakapovich and Hamidreza Keshvarpajuh): Improvisation
Bios
Robert Prakapovich is a composer, improviser and a sound artist from Belarus, based in Warsaw, Poland. In his artistic practice, he explores the borders of free improvisation, diffusion of arts, microtone tunings and post-modern approach to narrative forms in composition.
Hamidreza Keshvarpajuh, or PAJUH, is an artist from Tehran, Iran, whose creative practices span a variety of roles, including saxophonist, producer, improviser, and curator. Rooted in Tehran’s alternative music scene, his work resonates across a spectrum of projects, including Obad, Block Project, and Berenj Ensemble. His saxophone playing is a delicate investigation of sound phenomenology, where tone and texture converge into a deeply tactile experience. Sound emerges from the friction between breath, resonance, and the body itself, shaped by a precise sensitivity to dynamics and tonal color. His compositions intertwine influences from minimalism, progressive structures, Nu jazz, and the intricate rhythms and melodies of Middle Eastern music, balancing repetition and variation to evoke a nuanced sense of space and time. Recently, PAJUH has expanded his focus to sound art, reconfiguring the saxophone’s physicality into a fluid, malleable sonic entity. In this new phase, he explores the liminal spaces between sound and silence, using extended techniques to stretch the boundaries of musical syntax and reimagine the interrelationship between voice, instrument, and objects.
