Album Notes

When it comes to music that enchants, pianist and composer Afshin Toufighian fills the atmosphere with beautiful melodies that elevate the spirits of the listener. His music has received a number of praises from audiences all around the world, and his technical skills have won him a number of state-wide and national awards. His performances have been wonderfully acclaimed in Germany, England, China, Japan, and the U.S. nationwide. He has also contributed his music to a number of independent films.
For Afshin the process of creation usually begins on the piano, from which ideas will usually mold into various forms of instrumentation and potentially evolve into a variety of styles such as large symphonic arrangements, or smaller ensembles, sometimes with a percussive back-beat, or perhaps purely electronic and synthesized sounds. Oftentimes the idea will remain as a solo piano piece, a single instrumental voice representing the essential foundation of the composition. In the end, all the music he writes, is completely true and loyal to his mind and heart and functions as a mere reflection of its attributes.
