Discography

Social & streaming

“Music, at its quietest, tells the truth. I’m Shahriar Hasan Tamzid, composing from Queens, NY — building neo-classical worlds infused  with electronic pulse and imperfect texture. Piano, ambience, rhythm, and memory move together here. These works aren’t meant to be loud. They’re meant to stay. Step inside.”
