Hassan K. is a mystical one man band from Persia. Open source, DIY artist, Hassan mixes folklore and technologies, occident and orient, surf music and bellydance, swing and heavy metal… in crazy live acts, not too far from transe. With an augmented electric setar and a drum machine, he travels from the west kingdom to the Turan, spreading the words of his illuminated ancestors… The multi-instrumentalist musician is a traditionalist who does not play around with folklore, but rather searches for the essence of a millennial culture, in order to offer it a second breath without ever deteriorating it.
It is above all a unique live experience, energetic, stirred by an insatiable passion for the scene, and a unique digital lutherie which allows him to be close to the public. Unclassifiable, but all terrain and all audience.
"Hassan K’s Isteghna – the work of French-Iranian based in Lille –
is a big, bold helping of what the fuck is going on here?… " - The Quietus
"Like the geniuses Mike Patton and co. and new technologies, West and East,
surf music and bellydance, swing and metal... improbable? Just perfect. " - Magic RPM
