about
در زندگي زخمهايي هست كه مثل خوره در انزوا روح را اهسته مي خورد و مي تراشد
بوف کور، صادق هدایت
“There are sores which slowly erode the mind in solitude like a kind of canker.”
― Sadegh Hedayat, The Blind Owl
Album was written as an imaginary soundtrack for Sadegh Hedayat's surrealist-melancholic masterpiece "The Blind Owl" which firstly published in 1937. Although book was banned from time to time- reportedly because it led readers towards suicide!- It was a beginning of the modern Iranian / Persian literature. The Blind Owl had a great impact on generations, specially young people inside Iran... Nowadays The Blind Owl has been translated into 32 different languages and published in 70 countries.
The Blind Owl is a not an easy book to read. A hallucinogenic, opium-soaked account of a lonely pen case illustrator’s decent into madness, it is disorienting. Unpleasant. Consumed with death, decay, sexual obsession and frustration. After finishing the last page it sits heavy in the gut. And then, as you start to unwind the experience, it takes on an eerie, impressive, surreal quality—no less dark—but unlikely to easily slip from the imagination once wedged there... [quoted from roughghosts.com]

My personal favorite of the Lovecraft series. This piece feels so calm, eerie, and mysterious. The slight plucking of strings is off set by the ritual drums and consistent reverb. Amazing combination!
