Profile Information

Status: Artist

Discipline(s): Music

Your Artistic Background/Mission: Dawn of Midi is contrabassist Aakaash Israni, percussionist Qasim Naqvi, and pianist Amino Belyamani. Creating a bold face on the notion of idiosyncratic music, Dawn of Midi blends together the sentiments of many musical worlds. DoM's sound-world is one of effortless juxtaposition; from the harmonic language of Debussy to the clammer and rattle of extended techniques evoking Cage’s piano preparations. In the global art music setting, one can sense a paradigm shift that veers towards an appreciation of timbre, color, and the silences that frame a musical offering. This new sensibility is immediately recognizable within DoM’s language. Dawn of Midi is creating a sound that connects with people who are unfamiliar with improvised music as well as highly adept listeners of more eclectic musical stylings. The group's most recent work, a continuous set of minimalist-electronica inspired music for acoustic instruments, will be released on Thirsty Ear Records this year.
