Neda Samavati, a dedicated classical guitarist and composer, has earned her master's degree in Music Composition from Tehran University of Arts, Iran.
Neda's compositions reflect her ardent fascination with the cosmos and the inner workings of the universe. Each piece serves as a sonic exploration, translating the cosmic dance of the night sky into melodic and harmonic language, offering listeners a distinctive perspective on the wonders of the universe through music.
Her wellspring of creativity flows from literature, where she draws from the poetic and prose forms of the written word to infuse her compositions with stories, emotions, and imagery. Neda's music acts as a bridge between the literary and the auditory, creating a unique connection between the two worlds.
In addition to her love for the natural world and literature, Neda possesses a dual passion for Western and non-Western music. Rooted in the classical guitar tradition, she continually explores the infinite possibilities of non-Western musical traditions. Of particular fascination is the rich and culturally diverse music of Iran. The mesmerizing scales, intricate rhythms, and evocative melodies of Persian music have captured her heart and become an integral part of her creative palette. Her academic journey further strengthens her ability to explore and express her musical passions.
