Kaveh Akaber

SE
Composer of Electronic, Rock and Classical

Kaveh Akaber is a Swedish/Iranian composer and film director. Already in 1994 he started the electronica band Mindacid with his childhood friend in the small town Kristinehamn, Sweden. Inspired by the early 90's British rave scene. After the split -up 1999, he went his own way and soundtrack-like narrative became a strong feature of his work. Usually his music resembles a mix of western- and middle east scales, infused with heavy trip-hop beats, psychedelic guitars, analogue synthesizers and orchestrated strings, narrated by intimate vocals. From flirting with David Bowie vibes like in the song "Love is Groovy" and Angelo Badalamenti´s soundscapes as in “Bris” that lead us in a more trip-hop Massive Attack world like in “Baham”. The genre softly alternates and each track has its own narrative. The dark atmospheric sound oscillates between a dreamy atmosphere and a sharpened state of mind, where the hidden mysticism and socially dark subjects collides.
