Mohammad Pourambollah


Dear Mohammad,
I was talking to your friend Roozben and he mentioned he talked to you and you sent the warmest hellos to me. Thank you. I felt sad when Roozbeh said it. I felt sad that you by yourself are paying the price for my comfort and for my future. I feel ashamed that you are in jail and I am here in comfort.

I thought how great you are to be still saying hi to me. how generous it is. I think about my life and I just feel ...

Mohammad!
I have to tell you that your name and your story inspires me and many others to be responsible, and to care about our life and others'.

I want to make a promise that I will value my life and the others more that ever.

I want to tell you that there will be a day when we break down the bricks of wall surrounding you not with hammer and drills. we drill through with what you gave us, the courage for what we want.

pirooz hasty!

A review over Julie's Work

I thought of changing it but no way! I have changed so much and I dont want to change this old writing back. it is dated to 30/07/2006 1:55 PM! Is there a way to go back?...forget it. read it. it is a review over Julie's for what she made. I forgot the song titles so it was basically useless for her. but I enjoyed reading it. I hope you'd do the same. shab be kheir!

It is the first review that I write on a music album.
In this kind of review I mostly tried to listen to what I wanted to listen. I tried to drag out all my own feeling out of your music. That’s why it is sometimes hard for human being to understand each others’ opinion. It is basically what happens. “”I listen to your songs and I listen to what I want to hear which is not necessary what you are saying””.
I had to correct my poor English and edit it a thousand time. When I was reading it over and over I noticed I used confusion a lot. Perhaps that is all I got from your music.
Anyways, thank you for giving me the honor to do that so. Although I know that it is the weirdest one. Desperately hope it’d help.

If I knew what you were saying that would be great.

#1-

The sounds of wooden wind chimes are great. They are such a great start.

00:47 : It gives a weird feeling. If you meant that by making this part of music you have made it dude.

1:36 : you start singing beautifully.

2:13 : The way you start singing is so languid. I didn’t like that. I think that was irrelevant to the sense of your song.

2:31 : sounds like a satire to me.

3:37 : I don’t think this way of singing has any thing to do with the main stream of the song.

#2-

00:22 : oh man! It is great up to here.

01:05 : it is also great.

You know what? This song gives me a feeling. It is a combination of raw childish dreams. Those childish dreams that there is always an answer for. These dreams induce themselves into my mind by the guitar you play in the back. Meanwhile the instrument that plays the solo has a very sad theme. This sad theme is a complain about the hopeless real life and it also laughs to the guitar’s childish dreams!!! I couldn’t figure out how to relate the vocal to either of these (guitar in the back or the sad solo). 4:11 is the moment that two of them (guitar and sad solo) sink in vagueness and perhaps in the darkness while the glowing sparks of happiness are ascending.

#3-

confusion in night. And all of a sudden in the end of the darkness, life pops up. The frog’s sound. I imagined a “looser” with his negative look towards life.
Confusion, lost, imagination, fainting in the end(4:20)


#4-……………..

At this point I figured a problem that I had with your music. Your music is full of feelings and “various” images of life(represented by different instrument playing simultaneously in minor and major keys together). My mind is not able to follow up them all. And besides my poor mind is not able to converge or concentrate on a feeling. Every time I try to settle with an image or feeling in your music, another feeling show up and ……confuses a bit.

2:15 : this is a good example of what I said above. The accordion gives a completely different feeling of what I get from the rest of the instrument. I can not match this part with the main part of this track.

#5-
Confusion. All the sounds are giving me this feeling up to 00:49. I can not understand it.
2:09-2:49 : I imaging that a really fake self confident person is talking about himself.
3:35 : It is where I started commutating with this music. The interesting part is that I imagined a “looser” that has got drunk by himself. The theme of the vocal does not give me a “drunk” feeling though!!! ( It should have though “I think”). The strength of the sound of the accordion is really well set here.

#6-

This is one of your best

#7-……..

#8-

Here up to 00:49 I have seen the best combination and use of accordion.

#9-

I am really scared of going back home. It is funny that you have to leave where you are leaving now. (my sentences are showing the kind of confusion I got from your music) . They are all in contradiction.

1:00 1:15 : I don’t think that accordion is a good choice for this part. Why did you choose accordion. Why not violin for example?

3:10 : It represents your unconsciousness that want to lead you in a certain way( which your consciousness might not be interested in)

4:30 5:00 : desperate, touching and beautiful.

*** you know what Julie! There is a lot sound! I can not get a converging feeling out of it.

#10-

4:30 : I don’t know for some reasons your past memories that I am a kind of clueless about came into my mind.


#11-
This song has a kind of convergence that I believed was missed in the other songs. It is probably because of the fact I listened to it a hundred time.
