Porya Hatami

Porya Hatami creates music that feels like looking through a microscope at a drop of pond water. It is incredibly still, yet teeming with tiny, intricate movements. His sound is defined by a profound sense of space, where every click, hum, and piano note is given room to breathe and decay naturally. It is less about melody and more about the physical sensation of sound waves interacting with silence.

What sets Hatami apart is his masterful integration of environmental recordings with digital synthesis. He doesn't just use field recordings as background noise; he treats them as lead instruments, processing them until the line between the natural world and the computer becomes beautifully blurred. The result is a 'microsound' aesthetic that feels both high-tech and deeply grounded in the earth.

Start with 'Arrivals and Departures' for a perfect introduction to his ability to build atmosphere out of almost nothing. It is the ideal companion for anyone needing to lower their heart rate or find a state of flow during complex mental tasks. This is music for the quietest parts of your day.
