Biography
Saeedi was born in 1981 in Tehran, Iran. He began teaching himself to play guitar in 1999. He has composed three albums with the band Arashk: Abrahadabra (2006), Sovereign (2007), and Ustuqus-al-Uss (2008). He subsequently released the solo albums Iconophobic (2010), Human Encounter (2011), and namoWoman (2012). The albums were entirely self-produced, with Saeedi laying down guitar and keyboards, drum arrangements, and mixing. On namoWoman, he incorporates Persian microtonal music influences.[10]
Some critics have compared his sound to Univers Zero, Art Zoyd,[11][12][13] John Zorn,[14] Patrick O'Hearn, Mike Oldfield,[15] Djam Karet, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic,[16] David Bedford, Richard Pinhas, ZNR, Mecano,[17] Present, Aranis, the entire Belgian chamber rock scene,[18] Dick Dale,[19] Anne Dudley, Jaz Coleman,[20] and X-Legged Sally.[21]
Some progressive rock publications have also compared his music to King Crimson and Robert Fripp.[22][23][24][25]
