Pand P Podium – Hamraaz

This project started after Lucie and Khorshid met each other at Codarts in Rotterdam in 2021. The Characteristics of blending the sound of their instruments motivated them to build up this magical combination more and more.

Both these two musicians are multi-instrumentalists and it has given them the power and possibility to create music in different genres based on their academic background. They have the dream to create the music of modern society with the inspiration of traditional music from the Modal/Makam music they have grown up with. They have the passion to make a conversation between all those rich cultures and create and play modal music that belongs to all those cultures. Their music takes its inspiration from the beauty of modality, the dynamic character of Duduk and flute, and rich rhythms coming from strokes of Tanbour and Tar.

Lucie grew up with traditional Auvergne music by playing the transverse flute and later she fell in love with the playing Duduk. After she got her Bachelor’s degree from the conservatory in France she lived for two years in Istanbul to go deeper into the world of Modal music and currently she is studying at Codarts. Khorshid studied Tar, setar, and Tanbour in Iran and later she got her master’s in performing music from Codarts. After she came to the Netherlands she started to promote Iran’s culture and music and integrate her music with collaboration with other musicians. Based on the background of these two artists, the aim of this project was shaped into create music with the power of instrumental and Modal/Makam music.

Despite their respect for the traditional music they have studied and grown up with, they have always been interested in being a modern musician and interpreting the music of their time. This ambition brought them together to compose their own music and play improvisations besides traditional and old songs. They are so motivated to create a repertoire for playing these instruments together and besides showing the beauty of their music, improving techniques of these instruments with their experiments.
