"All In" is the fourth full length CD release by Son of Rose, the recording project of sound and video artist Kamran Sadeghi. A release inspired by the idea of collectivism and the atmosphere that is experienced in a time of change, "All In" has an embracing effect with it's long form structure, subtle yet surprising transitions, and modulating transcendent tone.

On Divisions in Parallel we see Sadeghi depart from his previous palate of synthesis and altered recordings and find him exploring the world of electro-acoustics, paring digital processing and synthesis with a grand piano. Keeping in his purely improvised style, nothing here is studio trickery. Sadeghi dives head first (sometimes literally) into the tonal qualities of the piano, producing a shimmering, delicate and subtle world that is pleasantly diverse despite the tight parameters in which he works.

Sadeghi's new work is an exploration in recreating the indispensability of flight by means of improvisation, creating a combination of intuitive compositions that create subtle sonic shifts and delicate atmospheres. Created with the utmost restraint, in order to preserve the nature of the material and a sense of timelessness.

This is a series of recordings played in real-time (no overdubs) using modular synthesis. They are emotional and spontaneous pieces whose rhythmic patterns can at times resemble a school of thumb pianos, as the tones and textures unfold absolute patience.

 Through Thickness is part of Sadeghi's ongoing Kha series that arose from a growing interest in exploring rhythm.  Kha is a word from the sanskrit language meaning "zero" that was used to denote space in tabular arrangements. Through these explorations, Sadeghi has developed a keen sense of structure and time, and deploys them to create a truly visceral listening experience. Through Thickness slowly gains momentum, moving from timid to temerarious which only serves to accentuate the albums haptic nature.
