Composer

France - Iran
Born in 1981, Sina Fallahzadeh is an Iranian composer who lives in France. He studied composition at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional (CRR) de Paris, at Pôle supérieur d'enseignement artistique Paris Boulogne-Billancourt (PSPBB), and at Haute école de musique (HEM) in Geneva. Before that, he earned his master's degree in piano performance from the Art University of Teheran. From 2015-2016, he attended the IRCAM’s practical training in Composition and Computer Music (Cursus) in Paris. He was a finalist in the 2012 Métamorphoses competition, the winner of the Luigi Russolo competition in 2013, and among the winners of the "Diaphonia and XelmYa+" in 2017. Sina has studied composition with several renowned musicians in different parts of the world. In Paris, he studied with Gérard Pesson, Denis Dufour, and Édith Canat de Chizy. He had the opportunity to study composition with Michael Jarrell, Luis Naón, and computer music with Éric Daubresse in Geneva. In Tehran, he studied with Alireza Mashayekhi. He has collaborated closely with numerous composers, including Franck Bedrossian, Marco Stroppa, Hèctor Parra, and Frédéric Durieux in workshops, master classes, and courses. His music has been played in several countries across Europe and beyond, such as France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Croatia, Estonia, Ukraine, the USA, Mexico, South Africa, Japon and Iran. His work has been performed by renowned ensembles, including 2e2m, Itinéraire, Cairn, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, United Instruments of Lucilin, Vertixe Sonora, Ensemble Du bout du Monde and XelmYa+, among others, on international musical stages. As a composer, Sina combines elements of his cultural background with contemporary ones to establish a unique perspective. The selected elements come from various musical cultures, historical epochs, and geographical places. Each piece for him has a very profound relationship with culture. Hence the source of inspiration is seeded in the cultural references and images coming from far away, or in objects and symbols belonging to somewhere else. The morphological development of the sound gestures, the evolution of the timbre, and the spatial interaction of the different sound layers have a crucial place in his musical composition.
