Arash Azadi is an Iranian-born composer, sound artist and creative technologist based in Yerevan, Armenia.
Beginning with classical Persian setar and later studying composition at the Yerevan State Conservatory, his practice developed across instrumental writing, electroacoustic music, audiovisual performance, spatial installation and creative coding. A background in mathematics and computer science informs his approach to musical structure, interaction and technological systems.
His work has been presented internationally in concerts, festivals and institutional contexts, including CTM Festival, Unsound Yerevan, Urvakan, Synthposium and Musikprotokoll. In 2019, he was selected as a SHAPE Platform artist. He was an artist-in-residence at Garage Studios in Moscow during 2021–2022 and has taught sound art and sound design.
Azadi’s works frequently treat sound as an architectural, psychological and social material. Acoustic bodies, electronic processes, memory, perception, ritual and crisis become parts of an unstable compositional field.
