Laudan Nooshin Recent Fieldtrip to Iran

Laudan Nooshin has just returned from a three week fieldtrip to Iran where she was undertaking work related to current research on Iranian popular music and future projects on music in Iranian cinema and the sounds of Tehran. The latter involved recording ambient sounds across the city, including in the main Tehran bazaar, local mosques, the Tehran metro and local parks. As well as meeting and interviewing musicians, producers and others involved in Tehran’s vibrant music scene, Laudan attended rehearsals and concerts as well as several film screenings and an underground theatre performance. Below are some photos from the trip.
