-Tokafi interviews Son of Rose + reviews "All In" | full article

" "Falling Forward" floats both with with yearning grace and bittersweet elegance and "Toward Sensation" is all shimmering texture, like a musical still life of a red-hot corona. "Radii", meanwhile, creates a bewildering sense of tenderness from seemingly disparate and nervously twitching elements. On other cuts, Sadeghi allows in harsher timbres and a certain edginess, even though the surface of his poignant pieces always retains its composure."


-nice review of Son of Rose's "All In" on Italian blog Libero

" Il mare dei computers non si sfalda facilmente. Queste onde propongono battiti lenti che colpiscono, delicatamente, il cervello umano. Le vibrazioni electroniche che fuoriescono da "All In" sono ansiose e delicate. Son Of Rose è lo pseudonimo dietro il quale si cela l'artista Kamran Sadeghi. La sua proposta sonica è salda e tentatrice, in un certo senso questa è la pop music del nuovo millennio. Microsuoni che sfrecciano dentro un sogno lungo una vita. "All In" è, sotto certi aspetti, un sogno libero che si sviluppa all'interno di una grande bolla. Una bolla di sapone che non si vuole staccare dal suo cordone ombelicale. Il sound di questo cd è rarefatto e permette di ammirare aspetti della natura veramente sconosciuti. Un album da memorizzare nella vostra discografia e ricordare negli anni."

"...finding him still engrossed in exploring prepared piano through digital processing. Sadeghi this time sets out "to capture the holistic immediacy of each composition" by deploying live takes and minimal post-production interventions, and the approach does in fact feel more tactile this time, as piano strings are manipulated with various objects, DSPedal less indiscriminately to the metal..."

-may 27.09 | ALL IN album review by Dave Segal | full article |

"Falling Forward" starts the album with beatific shimmering drones and what sounds like pitched-up wind chimes. It's understatedly gorgeous and calming, conjuring a mystical healing-music sensation. "Movement Transposed" sounds like an altered dulcimer or harp riff ka-chinging amid steel-wool whorls, while "Toward Sensation" is a stellar, metallic drone, akin to Charlemagne Palestine's Bösendorfer organ, honed to a needle-sharp tone. "RADii" is quite possibly the sound of Saturn's rings forming. "Fragrant" evokes Xenakis's oblique atonal thrusts and corkscrewing diminuendos; it's a kind of a skeletal, electroacoustic dub and a disturbing anomaly from the rest of the disc........ more
