Dear HAN,

Thanks for your emails. Sorry I reply late; I was in Mumbai, India, for a conference. I made it to be a philosopher! I was a computer engineering student the time we had the first touch. Then I attended a master's degree in philosophy of science, in Tehran. Now, I am applying to some schools in the US and Canada.

I had/have passionate attachment to music, especially to music of Morricone! You made me feel good with his works. Then so many thanks!

In the meantime, you can see my new art works (a painting, a wallpaper of printed photos, playing Setar! - Iranian instrument, and my playing of piano)!

Best wishes,

Amin

The music that I play in the video is an Iranian melody by Ardavan Kamkar, which has been mainly written for Santour (an Iranian instrument). I made my own transcription of it on piano. Its name is Darya, which means Sea!

Another photo shows me while I am playing Setar. I am just an amateur! Use this link for more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setar

One of my hobbies is making old-fashioned-looking photos! I print photos then color them by coffee. Sometimes I even burn them! (I attach another work, which is a piece of poem in Persian + a photo of mine!) The photos you see are pictures of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and others. I am a fan of them, but as I said I do this for fun.

Tell me please what you are doing which is of your interest. Send your emails to: amin.rabinia@gmail.com

With all the best, yours,

Amin
