An Elegy for Three Young Iranian Mountaineers
Instrumentation: String Trio
Year: 2018
A moving and deeply personal tribute to the memory of three Iranian mountaineers, this composition is both sparse and lyrical. It reflects themes of loss, remembrance, and resilience through subtle tension and harmonic fragility
The Grief of the Children and the Rest in the Absence of the Father
Instrumentation: Solo Violin
Year: 2019
Performed by Farmer Beiglo, this solo violin work balances lyrical phrasing with pauses that evoke emotional weight and familial absence. The piece invites deep introspection, standing as one of Masoud’s most intimate works.
Tanbur and Electronics
Instrumentation: Tanbur & Live Electronics

In this groundbreaking fusion, Masoud merges the ancient voice of the Tanbur with real-time electronic processing using MaxMSP. The result is a haunting dialogue between tradition and technology—an example of how he redefines Iranian music in a digital age.
New Release
Title: Spectral and Instrumental Music of Iran from the Perspective of Harmonics
Publisher: Rooz Amad Publishing House (Iran)
Language: Persian
Building on the foundation of his thesis, Masoud revised and expanded his research into a full-length book. This publication examines how spectral thinking can enrich our understanding of Iranian traditional instruments and compositional forms, and vice versa. The book is designed for composers, musicologists, and theorists interested in cross-cultural harmonic systems, microtonality, and the integration of traditional instruments into modern contexts.
“This book is a conversation between the ancient soul of Iranian music and the analytical clarity of spectralism.”
— Masoud Morshedi
