Sepand Jamshidy (IR): Alborz High School is a college-preparatory high school located in the heart of Tehran. It is one of the first modern high schools in Asia and the Middle East, named after the Alborz mountain range, north of Tehran. Its place in the shaping of Iran’s intellectual elite compares with that of Eton College in England and institutions such as Philips Academy, Phillips Exeter Academy, and Milton Academy in the United States. The school was founded as an elementary school in 1873 by a group of American Presbyterian missionaries led by James Bassett. These recordings of Tehran’s soundscapes are made by a Tehran-based collective who attempts at raising awareness toward the culture of mindful listening, toward the art of listening. The collective focuses on the sonic environment of Tehran and its practice involves field recordings, making archives, researching archives, running workshops, and organizing sound walks. The collective started in 2018 by a group of students of Audio Technology at Islamic Azad University Central Tehran Branch.
Dariush Sardari (IR): When the Earth Has Some Time to Recover is a sonic exploration recorded in the short time of quarantine. This 30-minute journey reveals the sounds of Tehran when quiet fell across much of the city; disturbing voices faded away and replaced by nature’s magical voice.
