Iran, Tehran - Iranian
art rock musician Salim Ghazi Saeedi released his
5th album, Human Encounter. This is a concept album
with a story backing up by artist's real life
experiences. Most of the songs are dedicated to
events of his life or to the human beings he adores.
Here is the full story. Here is the full story:
As I came to
Earth in 1981, I involuntarily came into contact
with human race. Except for a few bright encounters,
I found the rest, dark and ugly. “Human Encounter”
is my diary of these encounters. This album is
divided into two categories:
The “dark side” reflects the ugly experiences. I
noticed that human beings have a tendency to call
everything by a name and misunderstand it later. So
I do not care what they may actually mean by a word
like "evil"; but no doubt human beings themselves
are the main source of terror, pain and destruction
on Earth.
The “bright side” reflects the pleasures I
encountered in this planet. I say no pleasure
happens on Earth without a human medium; so the
corresponding songs are dedicated to individual
human beings. Of course at first sight, Earth seems
physically alluring, but those are only temporary
characteristics. The only immortal is what a man
creates.
Now that I am departing this planet, I will only
miss a few people like those I named in the “bright
side”... Let the others putrefy in the abyss of
time.
