I’m Rouzbeh Rafie, a composer originally from Iran, now based in the Netherlands. My work is influenced by a wide range of sources, from literature to folk music, and I often find myself exploring the intricate nature of memory. In my compositions, I engage with ideas like archetypes, remembrance, and the perception of time. I aim for a sound that feels both ancient and contemporary, something that resonates across different eras.

I often think of the Harmony of the Spheres as a metaphor for the hidden order within what might seem like chaos. My music is inspired by these timeless patterns and universal structures. While much of today’s music leans toward experimentalism and playfulness, I’m more focused on exploring harmony and coherence, seeking to capture something lasting and meaningful.
