Biography
Saeedi was born in 1981 in Tehran, Iran. He began teaching himself to play guitar in 1999. He has composed three albums with the band Arashk: Abrahadabra (2006), Sovereign (2007), and Ustuqus-al-Uss (2008). He subsequently released the solo albums Iconophobic (2010), Human Encounter (2011), and namoWoman (2012). The albums were entirely self-produced, with Saeedi laying down guitar and keyboards, drum arrangements, and mixing. On namoWoman, he incorporates Persian microtonal music influences. Some critics have compared his sound to Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, John Zorn, Patrick O'Hearn, Mike Oldfield, Djam Karet, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, David Bedford, Richard Pinhas, ZNR, Mecano, Present, Aranis, the entire Belgian chamber rock scene, Dick Dale, Anne Dudley, Jaz Coleman, and X-Legged Sally. Some progressive rock publications have also compared his music to King Crimson and Robert Fripp.
