Sina Fallahzadeh
Contemporary Music Composer
sinafallahzadeh@yahoo.fr
His writing, resolutely contemporary, includes elements borrowed from his rich cultural heritage, but also from other historical epochs and often far-off traditions. His music is part of a unique relationship between knowledge and culture. Fallahzadeh’s compositional process attaches great importance to the morphological development of sonic gestures, to the evolution of timbres, and to spatial interactions among different layers of sound.

Biography
Sina Fallahzadeh (b.1981) is an Iranian composer, living in France.
Sina studied composition at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional (CRR) de Paris, at Pôle supérieur d'enseignement artistique Paris Boulogne-Billancourt (PSPBB), and at Haute école de musique (HEM) in Geneva.
Prior to that, he earned his master's degree in piano performance from the Art University of Teheran.
From 2015-2016, he attended to the IRCAM’s practical training in Composition and Computer Music (Cursus) in Paris.
Sina was a finalist in the 2012 Métamorphoses competition, the winner of the Luigi Russolo competition in 2013 and among the winners of the "Diaphonia and XelmYa+" in 2017.
Sina has studied composition with Gérard Pesson, Denis Dufour and Édith Canat de Chizy in Paris. As in Geneva, he had the chance to study composition with Michael Jarrell as well as Luis Naón and computer music with Éric Daubresse. And in Tehran with Alireza Mashayekhi.
Sina collaborated closely and frequently in numerous workshops, master-classes and courses with many composers such as Franck Bedrossian, Marco Stroppa, Hèctor Parra and Frédéric Durieux.
His music compositions have been featured in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, USA, Croatia, Estonia, Ukraine, and Iran.
Sina's music has been performed by various ensembles internationally, including 2e2m, Itinéraire, Carin, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Ensemble Du bout du Monde, XelmYa+, etc.
Sina is considered as composers integrating elements of rich cultural background with modern and contemporary elements to acquire a singularity of a unique perspective.
The selected elements come from various musical cultures, historical epochs, and geographical places. Each piece for him has a very profound relationship with culture.
Hence the source of inspiration seeded in the cultural references and images coming from far away, or in objects and symbols belonging to somewhere else.
The morphological development of the sound gestures, the evolution of the timbre and spatial interaction of the different sound layers have a crucial place in his musical composition.
