You may or may not have heard about Hamid SAEIDI, but a whole lot of
folks on the planet have: A master of the Santur (the Persian
hammered dulcimer), Hamid has gigged all over the world and worked with some of the finest musicians around (just recently here at LA's Wilshire Ebell theater, as music director for a sublime concert with Turkish multi-instrumentalist Omar Faruk Tekbilek and the incomparable vocalist Mamak Khadem.) Hamid's CD "Imaginary Knots" is an absolute gem, his compositions blending traditional Persian idioms, electronic music and all kinds of other influences with ease and impeccable taste. He wrote music for more than thirty films, dance programs and the like, and won numerous international awards.

KUBILAY UNER'S SALON CONCERT SERIES
TRENT REZNOR has been blowing minds for a couple of decades now. He has had an out-sized influence on the world of music since the late 80s, and not just with Nine Inch Nails. Check out his Wikipedia page and be prepared to feel like a sloth when you read just how much the man has put together in the last twenty-odd years. His status as a leading voice in all kinds of electronic music is unquestionable. His songwriting is profound, which became clear to even the most ardent enemies of electronic
sounds when Johnny Cash covered "Hurt" on his last album. Trent's
influence is equally outsized as producer (Marilyn Manson, "Lost
Highway" and "Natural Born Killers" soundtracks) and as an innovator
in 'how one does business with music' in this new landscape. And of course, he and Atticus Ross just won the Oscar for "The Social
Network". Recently I heard someone mention that every temp score
since seems to be pulled from that film. I'd say that's one of the
biggest compliments a composer can get.

Daniel ROSENBOOM is our very first 'legacy' presenter (his dad,
composer David Rosenboom, presented in 2009), but that's not why he's
here. He's here because he's an incredibly gifted trumpet player, an enterprising band leader, and most of all because he composes
insanely energetic, adventurous, and yes, gorgeously beautiful music, in a raw yet refined sort of way. Hard to describe... His work flows freely between what's clumsily referred to as experimental, Jazz, free improv, metal and world music, but those labels seem even more stupid than usual when you listen to his stuff. (He is also a kick-ass session player, so composers, get his card.) If all goes well, Dan will be bringing his entire septet, so there will be a massive blowing-of-minds going on. Get ready.
