Ash Koosha

Born Ashkan Kooshanejad in Tehran, Iran in 1985, Ash Koosha is an electronic musician and soundtrack composer whose work explores themes of synesthesia and virtual reality. His fluid, collage-like soundscapes are based on computer-generated sonic fractal patterns, incorporating altered voices as well as non-musical sounds like car engines and shattering glass. As heady and discordant as this may seem, his sound constructions, as heard on releases like 2016's I AKA I, are intriguing and accessible rather than harsh and punishing. Koosha grew up in Tehran and Frankfurt, Germany...
