Soheil Soheili (b.1983) is an interdisciplinary artist and a researcher. His background includes raising up in a cultural family, learning music from an his father in an early age (during the 80's and early 90's) and studying mathematics/ engineering as the university major during the turn of the century when he started learning western music.Yet he has made certain experiences in the both fields.
His works are usually dealing with different media, including the medium of text, sound (and it's absence); considering himself an open-practitioner, he never reduces his job to a certain discipline or genre, whether in the field of Science or Arts and Culture. As an educated author and translator, his research interests include psychology, linguistics, history, sociology beyond producing or reproducing sounds. His education includes a B.A in English language and Literature, as his works usually deal with a philosophical idea, a social demand or accurate statistics/ sets of mathematical data, or a pile of critical translation project for the university, mostly for the subjects like urbanism, management, and statistics, and a lot more to-be-published translations in the print queue, are all doing along with a cultural purpose in which Soheil consider himself as “only a member”.
As both a recording artist and a performer, he possesses numerous experiences ranging from deejaying in extreme sports arenas to composing sound pieces, mixing and mastering knowledge, and financing the artistic project are some of his goals and skills beyond just preparing the sound reinforcement techniques for large middle-scale shows and complex interaction design for the audio and video performances.
Now, behind the active participation in the art-scene and membership in a number of nonprofits and collectives for the research and development, most notably the New Media Society, he has recorded and produced hours of live music for other performing artists so far and is developing platforms like 'Noise à Noise' an independent artist-run label for experimental and noise music in Iran and Studio A, a team for making live sound in the artistic music events for Classical and Jazz music in Tehran. Human welfare, anti-war movements, extreme sports, youth empowerment trends are some of the other causes that he supports after all. Below, you can find a selected list of the activity:
